Synium Software Screenium 1.1

Synium Software update their popular screencapturing software Screenium to version 1.1. Following the much antecipated launch of Screenium 1.0 only a few months before, this new version now features many "under-the-hood" improvements to the already powerful capturing engine, one of the reasons for Screenium's highly acclaimed quality. In fact, the developers redesigned this core functionality to offer even better performance and synchronicity while recording multiple audio and video sources.

Screenium captures live video from your Mac's screen, combined with multichannel audio and picture-in-picture video and sound from your Mac's built-in iSight or externally tethered, QuickTime-compatible Webcam. Video tutorials and webcasts are a snap, combining and mixing voice-over from your built-in and any external microphone or audio device, together with system sounds or application audio.

New features in Screenium 1.1 include customizable visualization effects for Mouse actions - an animated mouse pointer to help your audience grasp what you are doing on-screen. The (optional) display of mouse button names has also been added, as well as Activity Indicators giving you immediate, yet unobstrusive feedback if Screenium is still running or even recording. To further improve on frequently-used features, the update also adds optimized export workflows, allowing to quickly create movies for YouTube or the Apple iPhone or iPod touch.


Screenium users appreciate Screenium's custom captions ("HotText") to illustrate your screencasts on-the-fly. For the most efficient workflow, Screenium is keyboard-controllable and widely customizable: ideal for high volume video production in a time-critical environment. Screenium supports QuickTime's encoding technology and lets you re-process movies you already have recorded to adapt them to different output formats.
