Screenflick 2.7.31 Build 1498
- Change log not available for this version


Screenflick 2.7.31 Build 1497
- Updated color handling for macOS High Sierra, thanks to an undocumented change in the operating system
- Exported recordings now have a guaranteed constant frame duration, so now the movies are truly "constant" frame rate, which satisfies Adobe Premiere's naive video importer
- Includes changes attempting to gracefully workaround or handle bugs in macOS which would cause Screenflick to crash


Screenflick 2.7.30 Build 1493
- Added a new indicator when the export dimensions are too large for H.264 codec
- Fixed an issue where the selected area to record could be set to a zero-by-zero size when clicking between different screens

- Improved error messages for various issues


Screenflick 2.7.29 Build 1490
- Added a new indeterminate progress indicator for when the exported movie is being "finalized" (a process which can take a little bit of time), so that it doesn't just seem "stuck" near the end


Screenflick 2.7.28 Build 1488
Changes:
- In macOS 10.13, recording of the mouse cursor image is now handled differently and more accurately thanks to new additions in macOS 10.13. This allows the cursor image to be recorded at full fildelity, more efficiently, and also the scale of the cursor itself (as set in Accessibility system preferences) is recorded.
- The mouse cursor scale can be set in the export settings allowing for an over-sized cursor. With the scale option turned off, the cursor will always appear at the normal size, except on macOS 10.13 Sierra when it will appear at the size the cursor was at the time of recording.

Fixes:
- The Trimming menu item is not shown unless on Yosemite or later (where it is supported)
- Fixes a crash when setting the Time Scale value to a blank in the export panel
- Several miscellaneous fixes for stability

Screenflick 2.7.22 Build 1464
New:
- The screen-area selection view before starting a recording is now much smoother on larger screens.

- The screen-area selection view supports holding option while dragging a resize handle to resize from the center of the selection area.
- In the screen-area selection view, right-clicking on a window in the screen selection view has an option to resize and move the window to fit the selection.
- In the export views, there are now audio sample rate and audio bit rate options.
