macOS and Mac Apps
Hi All, I'm looking for a Mac app for screen recording. The built in one in QuickTime isn't working too well for me so I want to find a good accessible third party solution, hopefully without spending too much.
There are loads of them in the Mac App Store, many with the same name, so it's hard to know which to try and I don't want to waste money on an inaccessible or difficult to use app. I tried one called Screen Cap but i I'm not quite sure how to use it, and the support link in the App Store takes you to a web page that no longer exists.
Any help appreciated.

Question about using Snapz Pro
Screenflow
I haven't tried the latest release of Screenflow which came out last October, but earlier versions of this application have been used by VoiceOver users to record training videos. It's more expensive than Snapz Pro X though, at $99. The best way to buy either of these apps is when they're part of a bundle sale -- both were offered as part of earlier MacUpdate mupromo bundles, where you get 10 or so apps for $49.99. That's how I got an earlier version of Screenflow, and Snapz Pro was part of their winter bundle back in December. (By the way, there's a MacUpdate Spring bundle ending in 6 hours that includes Prizmo 2, but that's another story.)
Take a look at this review of Screenflow 4, that can be read in Safari Reader, and which contains a link to the trial version:

The well rated alternatives to Screenflow used to include iShowU, but I don't know about it's accessibility, and it hasn't been updated in a long time. And yes, Screenflow is more optimized for video and audio recording of movies as opposed to screen captures than Snapz Pro, though both software applications can do either. I'd recommend you check out reviews at the MacUpdate site for alternatives.
