What's the best software for recording video DAW tutorials on a Mac

[dco]

Hi -

I'm looking to start recording Logic 9 video tutorials for my YouTube channel, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using video screencast software on a Mac?

I've heard Screenflow is quite nice, but just wanted to get a second opinion.

Thanks,
Dan

Screenflow is great if you don't want to edit in a different application (although you can if you want to.) However, if you plan on editing the entire video in a different video editor, you might want to save yourself some money and get something like Screen Mimic (that's what I use.) It only comes with the features you absolutely need so it is a lot cheaper.

BTW, if you don't already have a solution, it might be wise to get something like WireTap Anywhere so you can record the output of Logic without going through a mixer. Or you could always use a combination of SoundFlower and LineIn to get the job done. It's up to you.

I was recently looking for the same type of software. I went with iShowU HD http://store.shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html. I liked the control regarding screen capture area, audio options and output. And it was only $30!
