Exporting all the Media files in native movie format, or publishing the /Media/recording.scc file format?
Thanks for the fantastic ScreenFlow program — I've been using it for over two years, and it's been so valuable to make videos that require isolated recordings of a speaker and their slides (recording a desktop from PowerPoint).
I want to automate the export of these two video files — currently, it requires creating a canvas to a specific dimension, moving the speaker camera video onto the canvas, adjusting the position and size, and then exporting to an MP4 file. And then I have to move the camera movie off the canvas, and move the slides recording onto the canvas, adjusting position and size, and export it again.
At times, I have to do this for many recordings — it is tedious and error-prone, and involves two export steps that often takes a half-hour each.
If I could wave a magic wand, I'd love to be able to get the raw video files from the /Media directory, in whatever native video format they're stored in.
That way, I could edit those files directly, without having to do all the steps above.
My question: is it possible to export all of the raw video files? Or is the .SCC format published, so I could programmatically extract the files?
Many thanks, keep up the great work, and thanks in advance for your help!

The file is not "flat" in that things like the mouse pointer and window highlighting involve information that is lost in a "flat" recording. This is why you must use ScreenFlow's exporting to create flat files. That metadata is lost though. You can certainly export ProRes or ProRes with alpha for use in other editing programs but that loses that metadata.

But now, it's not there anymore.Could be there's nothing in that document. If there's an scc file or imported mov or mp4, they have to be there. If they're not there, they're not in the media library. In other words that is the Media Library. You can have files in the Global Library but you have to put them there. Nothing is in that library by default.

I have similar use case - I have created a screenflow doc with my presentation and exported the whole as MP4. However the event organisers in Korea need the original sub recordings files as well to fix quality resolution etc etc. I’d like ti be able to export all the raw screenflow project media files as mp4 and mp3 at recording quality in one project export process. Obviously not in scc format.
Just saying tell them to buy screenflow doesn’t reflect the partnership that event presentations usually involve. Thanks.
