Following on from the previous ScreenFlow episode, this week it's the final Screenflow v5 tutorial - phew!

Finishing off with a look at adding and manipulating text and graphics in your project, as well as some more advanced features such as adding closed captions or subtitles. I also take a look at the various exporting and publishing your project once completed.

A deeper look at some of the more involved workflows possible in Workflow for iOS.

Workflow brings easy workflow automation to the iPad and iPhone. Workflow automation has been available on iOS for a while, but only really accessible to those with a pioneering spirit who like tinkering with long and complex URL schemes.

With the release of Workflow for iOS, Automation is now available for the rest of us!

Following on from the previous ScreenFlow episode, this week I take a further look at manipulating and adjusting video and audio clips using the properties panels, as well as adding annotations and using the new Touch callout features.

ScreenFlow v5 allows you to capture, edit, export and distribute video, all from a single application. Although primarily optimised for screencasts, ScreenFlow can handle most types of video projects.

Path Finder is a file manager and potential Finder replacement.

Acknowledged as a heavy weight in the field of Mac utilities, its reputation is further enhanced with the introduction of Path Finder v7, and the inclusion of many new features.

Feeling graphically challenged? Art Text 2 comes to the rescue allowing you to create artwork from text automagically.

As well as stylised and textured text objects, Art Text 2 allows you to create shapes, buttons and many different sorts of objects that can be transformed with just a few simple clicks.

Following on from last week, I take a more in-depth look at Transmit iOS.

Panic have created a brand new version of Transmit specially for iOS 8, with support for Share Extensions and iCloud Drive.

ScreenFlow has been my tool of choice for creating screencasts since it was first released. Although optimised for screencast creation, it's actually a very competent and fully featured video editor, suitable for many different types of video production.

This week takes you through some of the first principles of the latest version of ScreenFlow - the recently released ScreenFlow 5.

Transmit on the the Mac has been my go to file transfer application for as long as I can remember. Now Transmit is available on iOS!

Rapidweaver is acknowledged as a fantastic replacement for the long abandoned iWeb. Now with the release of RapidWeaver 6, it's now even easier to create and publish your own stunning websites.

In this week's show, Todd Olthoff takes you through some of the more advanced aspects of RapidWeaver 6. Be sure to checkout RapidWeaver 6 Part 1 (SCOM0477)

Rapidweaver is acknowledged as a fantastic replacement for the long abandoned iWeb. Now with the release of RapidWeaver 6, it's now even easier to create and publish your own stunning websites.

We've covered RapidWeaver before, but a refresher is well overdue so Todd Olthoff takes us through some of the basics of RapidWeaver 6.

As promised, following the coverage of MoneyWell for the Mac in episode SCOM0471, Todd Olthoff takes a look at MoneyWell on the iPad.

MoneyWell is one of the most respected personal finance applications for the Mac.

Using a unique approach of using "buckets" for your various budgets, it allows to to easily keep track of income and expenditure, ensuring you remain on budget.

Gestures on the Magic TrackPad are all well and good, but they are a bit limited.

In this episode, I take a look at creating custom gestures using BetterTouchTool (BTT).

You're only limited by your imagination as BTT includes support for a wide range of actions as well as custom keyboard shortcuts.

As well as the Magic TrackPad, you can also use it on your Magic Mouse, MacBook TrackPad or even the Leap Motion Controller.

I also include a short video snippet of the leap Motion Controller in action, being controlled by BetterTouchTool gestures.

Two desktop utilities in this week's show:

Drop Shadow - Create drop shadows, frames and borders with this simple to use utility,

App Delete - Don't just delete the application, delete all the cruft that goes with it. AppDelete will search out all the hidden files that comprise an installed application and delete the lot. It will also allow you to delete and archive, allowing you to re-install the application at any time in the future.

Parallels Access is a unique solution to the problems of remotely accessing your Mac from your iPad or iPhone.

There are plenty of remote access solutions out there (we've covered quite a few on ScreenCastsOnline) but there has never been a solution that solves the issue of trying to access a large, high resolution display from a device with a smaller screen. Most remote access apps will allow you to scale the desktop to full size, but then everything is too small to either see or control. Otherwise, you can zoom the screen up to full size on your iPad or iPhone, and then end up scrolling everywhere.

Parallels Access gets around both these problems by allowing your Mac apps to appear just like iPad or iPhone apps, each app taking up the full iPad or iPhone screen. You really need to see it in action to see how different (and how effective) this is, compared to other remote access applications.

Three applications in this week's show:

Scapple - Scapple is a great app from the makers of Scrivener - it's like a mind mapping tool but without the constraints of a fixed or hierarchical structure. Completely free form in its approach, Scapple is ideal for roughing out ideas on a huge canvas.

AccessMenuBarApp - Is your laptop resolution causing menu bar icons to become hidden? AccessMenuBarApp allows you to show them all with a single keystroke or mouse gesture.

VideoGIF - Create animated GIFs for support or just for fun. VideoGIF allows you to capture or convert any video clip into an animated GIF and share via social networks, email or via websites. In this segment, I demonstrate using QuickTime X to do a video screencapture, convert to a GIF and incorporate into a Clarify document.

After playing with animated GIFs on this week's Mac show, I wanted to see what was available on iOS.

Giffer Pro is an amazing app that allows you to create animated GIFs from your iPhone or iPad camera, from a series of still images or from an imported video clip. You can create your own library of GIFs or share via it's built in web service or via social media, email or iMessages/SMS.

It also includes support for creating CinemaGraphs - animated GIFs where just a portion of the GIF is animated - very cool!

Giffer Pro is both simple to use and yet offers amazing control over the creation and editing of your GIFs
