Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2011 -- Blueberry Software Ltd has launched a major new version of its best-selling screen recording software - BB FlashBack 3.
BB FlashBack 3 has been redesigned to help screen recorder users create even more sophisticated and effective screencasts. Whether annotating a webcast, developing a polished tutorial, demonstrating a sales product, or creating a screencast for friends or your social network, BB FlashBack 3 helps movie makers deliver engaging content – faster and easier than ever before.
What’s new in BB FlashBack 3
• New Recorder User Interface – a sleek, new user interface that places more features directly to hand, making it easier to work with in-movie objects like textboxes, images, highlights and so on.
• Insert Arrow Tool – Call attention to events in the movie. The new Insert Arrow tool can create a limitless number of arrow styles by selecting from a combination of key properties.
• Watermarks - Add your branding to the movie. Simply load your watermark image; choose its colour, opacity, size and position.
• Start and End Titles – Add start and end titles to your creative masterpiece for that finishing touch.
• Insert Video Files - Add a video file to your project to add interest or clarify a point, and choose how it will look in your presentation.
• Invisible Keystrokes – Display invisible keystrokes such as function keys, so that the viewer can see exactly what you did during recording.
• Scheduled Recording – Particularly useful for recording webinars and other online events. Set BB FlashBack 3 to schedule a recording at a specific date and start/end time, or when a specific application or process begins.
• Text Formatting – More control over text formatting in text boxes, giving you more choice over how your screen recording looks.
• Export To Apple Devices – Export in a format compatible with Apple devices. Whether you want to view the movie on a Mac, iPhone or iPad, you can now ensure it works on your target Apple device.
• Precision Sound Editing - comprehensive inbuilt sound editing, with tracks shown as waveforms, which can be selected and manipulated in the same way as movie footage. Now includes:
* Noise removal
* Compress/Normalize volume
* Fade audio clips in and out at any point in your video
Other features include:
• Webcam and Picture-in-Picture Video - for creating “talking head” presentations and picture-in-picture video.
• Pause Objects - create pauses in the movie in a more user-friendly way, by adding pause objects rather than by inserting frames – an intuitive change to the way things were done before, making it much easier to add a pause in the timeline.
• Recording wizard - a step-by-step guide for beginners.
• Highlight tool - to draw viewer’s attention to key sections of the screen.
• Mouse movement correction - re-record mouse actions into smooth, ‘straight-line’, flowing movements.
• Video hosting sites - It’s never been easier to share your movies with the world. Upload HD-quality videos in one click to YouTube, Blip.tv, Viddler and Revver.
• Flexible Publishing - You decide how your screen recording is presented. Export your movie to Flash, QuickTime (H264), WMV, AVI, EXE or PowerPoint.
David Francis, Project Manager for BB FlashBack, said: “BB FlashBack has always been a first-class screen recorder and we’re very proud of the changes we’ve made to BB FlashBack 3. This new version addresses the needs of todays’ screen movie makers - from sales and marketing pros to YouTube and social network devotees - who use images and video to tell stories, introduce new ideas, and troubleshoot problems quickly.
“We’ve improved the user interface and added a new arsenal of editing tools. As with any reboot of a classic, it’s worth taking the time to explore these new tools, as they’ve been designed to help users take screen movie production to the next level.
"Ultimately, we've worked hard to create an application that in the end simplifies the process of screen recording, and offers high-end features at outstanding value.
“These are changes that users requested. We listened to feedback and have given version 3 an array of must-have and sought-after features that we are confident will appeal to both professional and novice screencast movie makers alike."
BB FlashBack is free to download on a 30-day trial, and is free to customers who have purchased BB FlashBack since 31st Dec 2010. Earlier purchasers can upgrade for only $99.
