OK, I just discovered Lookback and it sounds pretty awesome. I still like Screenflow because it allows me to do a bit of editing (highlight some part of the video for instance), but that's a neat collaboration tool. As for Lookback USB, I prefer buying Reflector: I stream the content of the Android/iOS Device, then record my mac.

@lucascerdan Hey, Screenflow is amazing, and it's a fantastic tool for content creation; agreed on that part. Lookback is more focused on user research and finding out more about how people use your software. Like Screenflow, we record peoples' screens and faces, but in addition, we also automatically upload these recordings to a shared dashboard where your team can collaborate on these recordings to make your product better :)

Would be nice to be able to trim the video after.

@chuckkahn yeah that'd be very nice! That miiight be an upcoming feature, no promises! But until then, you can share parts of a recording :) https://lookback.io/support/how-... For example, for some real e-sports moments, see: https://lookback.io/watch/yj9PJG...

@ourielohayon Hi Oureil, one of the Lookback founders, Nevyn, wrote about the differences between Lookback USB and QuickTime in this blog post if you are interested: https://lookback.io/blog/app-pre...

@ourielohayon do you still need more information? FAQ at the Lookback website might be useful: https://lookback.io/support/what...

Hey all! Thanks for the votes! We created this as an addition to our user research platform - creating another easy way to share iOS and Apple TV recordings. We capture the user's face and mic via the Mac to give a clearer insight into their understanding of the app they are testing. Hope this helps!

@petetak It works with the new Apple TV?!

@bradenhamm sure does!!

You can do all of this in QuickTime. Is Lookback adding anything beyond that?

@johnrwhaley Hi John, Thanks for asking. Feel free to read what Lookback is adding in the latest blog post by @nevyn: https://lookback.io/blog/

Looks nice. Lookback has made steady improvements over the past year. One drawback of this (and the QuickTime method) is no indicator of screen taps. Only way I've found to do that on iOS is to jailbreak.

@casonbang Thanks Cason and thanks for following. Lookback SDK for iOS works as well. You can read more here: https://lookback.io/support/touc...

This is exactly what I have been trying to hack for user testing. I will followup once play around with the app.

Can't you do this in Quicktime? Or is there added functionality with this.

@chrishannah On top what QuickTimes does, Lookback USB captures video from the Mac's FaceTime camera, rotates the screen if the device was rotated, supports unplugging and replugging the device mid-recording, and automatically uploads to the Lookback platform, for easy cloud sharing and team collaboration.
Irving Torres
@chrishannah yes. All you do is plug in your iPhone / ipad, open Quicktime and go to FILE > NEW MOVIE RECORDING then click the little drop down and select your iDevice from the list as the source. BOOM. Now you can record. I use it all the time.

@littke Would be great not to add another cloud storage location for our team. Any plans to integrate with Box, Drive, etc?
Oscar Sandström
Awesome!

@m3tthew Hi Matt, you can read more on the Lookback USB landing page https://lookback.io/usb and on our blog https://lookback.io/blog/. Thanks for showing interest!

Nice! I have been using QuickTime Player to record the animations for my blog http://app-ealing.com/. But I will definitely be giving this a go now. Is there a way to record the screen without any sound? I am currently having to open each video in Adobe Media Encoder to remove the sound and would love to find a quicker work flow.

@jackw_young turn off the mic and camera and you are good to go

Thank you so much for posting this. I was really sick and tired of using QuickTime since it gave my video extreme lag!
Joshua Brueckner
This is incredible. I am going to make a video on how to use @AirTailor with Lookback. Great job, @Petetak!
Joshua Brueckner
Holy moly, @Lookback is amazing. Works great for creating demo videos without having to do any editing. Check out mine: https://lookback.io/watch/TRHhht...
