Vara Software today unveiled ScreenFlow 1.1, a sizable update to its screencasting application, adding audio waveforms, markers, and several other optimizations and improvements. The inclusion of audio waveforms allows users to find and remove unnecessary pauses, coughs, and other audio anomalies in recordings, as well as in any imported QuickTime Media. The update is free for existing users, and costs $100 for a new license.
Chapter markers allow users to label sections of the recording for quick navigation, and can also be exported as QuickTime Chapter Tracks for finished projects. Vara has increased preset Export speed by 20- to 40-percent, including the new iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV presets, or Lossless.
The new version also allows for universal, system-wide registration, giving any user account on the computer access to the application.
