ScreenFlow 7 crashing ALOT while editing video...

Having the same problem. Purchased Version 7 on an Imac two months ago and haven't been able to edit once without repeated crashes every couple of minutes. Moved 7.1 to a macbook pro and the same thing happens. Waiting for reply from support, but for now it's unacceptable.

rasheed Please do stay current.

 Not sure what you mean by that. This is a problem I'm currently having and Brandon Craft asked if anyone was experiencing this.

The version I'm running is 7.1.1 (I just installed it 24 hours ago). 

As I said, I have requested support via the website, and included the crash report, so will wait for their response.

Ok, so I've spent about 2 hours editing, clicking save after every single small action (split, cut, scroll, zoom, etc). Then I saved the project and closed Screenflow.

Next I followed your instructions above but there were no “net.telestream.screenflow(4/5/6)” folders in Cache. I didn't have a previous version of Screenflow.

Then I opened Screenflow but, strangely got the familiar system message asking If I want to send a crash report because SF had crashed the last time it was open (it didn't), as well as a SF message asking if I want to "recover" or open the last saved work. I chose "recover" and now the original single clip is there but I've lost all that editing. 

CraigS It's ok, I'll re-edit and report if the crashing is still a problem.

I have the exact problem described here, using 7.1.1, but the problem also occurred with versions 5 and 6. I'm using the OS X version. Here is when the crashes occur:

1. The media files are large and they are in the timeline (the project I'm on right now has 2 files, 5.2 gig and 9.7 gig).
2. I Split Clip in the timeline
3. Just above the timeline is a bar with Back/Play/Forward and a box showing the minutes/seconds for the scrubber. Periodically, especially after splitting a clip, Screenflow will begin to show what appears to be saving process, with a clock face or "speedometer" type progress image appearing in this box. The "speedometer" image goes from from 0% to 100% and then disappears.  
4. Because my media files are so big, it may take 5-10 seconds for this saving operation to complete. With projects with small media files, this process is so quick I don't ever notice it. But with projects with large media files, it takes several seconds.
5. The problem is that Screenflow will allow me to continue editing—even doing another split clip operation— while the saving process in going on. And if I do that, or if I do other editing during the saving process, I will eventually get a crash.
6. I have to keep my eye on this box and allow the progress component to complete and disappear before continuing to edit. If I do that, Screenflow works well. If I don't, it will crash.

I've watched this happen for three versions of Screenflow (5,6,7). It's a bug. Clearing the cache has nothing to do with the problem. You guys need to fix it.

CraigS I have the same problem on the latest version.  I've tried these steps plus deleting .plist and reinstalling program and nothing works.  just constant beach ball of death.  i had no problems with this program for the first few weeks of use and now it is just unusable!
