Heh, I forgot we now have a machine in our office with Leopard installed, so this AM I sat down for 20 minutes with ScreenFlow. It’s pretty nice, and the editing features are really slick. Very nice callouts and zooms and mirror effects. But no text can be added, which is a really big bummer. Nor arrows. And I’m sure you can add additional clips to compensate, but I didn’t see any way to add a title screen during my inaugural run. It was stable for me on one try though. I only saw variants of .mov files as the output, but you can upload those to YouTube or Viddler for conversion. More when I have more time, including some sample screencasts.

i was so excited when i read about this, but after installation realized that it is leopard-only. bah.
what are your current recommendations for free-ish mac (< leopard) screencasting tools?
Hey Sherri, haven’t found anything that’s particularly recommendable in the free range, but iShowU @ $20 is pretty darn good. Still no post-production editing though. (http://www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html)
