Camtasia does more. And it is only $99 at the Mac App Store.

This is another case where the commenter has failed to take into consideration anything but a spec sheet and price list. Yes, Camtasia is another option, but the $99 MAS version (a temporary sale price) is unable to be upgraded at a discount when a new version rolls around. The true price of Camtasia is $250 (see their website, and if you're going to buy it buy direct) -- so we're already double the price of Screencast, and there's plenty of add-ons one might want to buy, some of which are included in Screencast. But even putting aside the expense, the interface is (IMO) inferior, though I agree the functionality is quite good.

I still have my OG series 0 Apple Watch and I was a person who was very averse to wearing watches prior to getting this. It has become indispensable to me -- mostly as a "receptionist," if you like, for my iPhone. The Watch only shows me notifications from people or things I have deemed important, taps me rather than makes noise, allows me to control iTunes remotely, and has really helped me improve my health overall (and weight specifically). I will likely get a new one by Xmas, not sure if I'm willing to go with a Series 3, but ... yes, that might move my iPhone to the "not needed everywhere anymore" category -- which is really remarkable when you think about it.

I think some commenters above are leaping to (erroneous) conclusions without having actually tried the program. If you:

A. Produce how-to videos for YouTube/Vimeo:
B. Produce social videos for same, or
C, Produce instructional videos

Chances are quite good that you’ll find Screencast sits exactly BETWEEN iMovie and FCP, for less than half the cost (and a lot less learning curve) than FCP. Sure, if you make entertainment/professional videos or a living, Screencast isn’t for you. But if you’re a teacher, YouTuber, or someone who doesn’t have a full-time, well paid job producing videos, Screencast is an affordable godsend.

They’re all white!

Flagged for inaccuracy. They are certainly majority white, but Eddie Cue is Hispanic, Lisa Jackson is black, and Isabel Ge Mahe is Chinese. But thanks for playing.

Nah, it is easy, you just copy everything like Google did.

And yet you haven't done it. So ... you're either lazy, stupid, or a troll. Oops, trick statement: it could be (and likely is) all three!
