Though it’s not exactly cheap, Screenflow is very popular among Mac users for screencasting. The Quicktime Player has its own built-in screen recorder, too, and it’s free, but it doesn’t have all that many features. Screeny is an app which enables you to capture your videos or images at any size you desire.

Similar to most other screencasting tools, Screeny resides up in your OS X menubar. It has the capability to record anything on your screen, or just take a screenshot. You already can do recording and screenshots in Mac OS X, but Screeny gives you added control over what’s being recorded.

If you want to just select a particular area of your screen rather than record the entire screen, you can. The default recording frame rate is 60fps, but you can change that to suit your purposes. You can set custom recording shortcuts, and you can upload everything you creates with Screeny automatically to CloudApp. It can even compress files before you upload them.

It would be nice if, in future releases, you would be able to set the default location so it would work with Dropbox and other file syncing utilities, and possibly even have an option to upload to an FTP server of the your choice. For the present, though, it already gives you a goodly amount of handy choices not built into Mac OS X. If you’re in the market to get some more power in your screencasting pursuits, give Screeny a try.

NOTE: Screeny works in OS X Lion (10.7) and Snow Leopard (10.6) ONLY
