Creating a dedicated recording account

- [Instructor] Now before we dive in…to recording with ScreenFlow,…it's a good idea to get started by removing…any unnecessary distractions from your computer.…And this will help both you and your viewers…focus on your content,…rather than being distracted by what's on your screen.…Now there are two major approaches that you can take here.…The simplest is to make a quick cleanup…of your normal user account on your computer.…You could, for example, click on your Desktop,…and then press Command + Shift + N to create a new folder,…and call this something like Desktop Stuff.…

Then press Command + A to select everything on your desktop.…Then hold down the Command Key to Deselect…that Desktop Stuff folder,…and drag everything into that folder.…This will quickly remove the distractions…of the piles of files that litter most of our desktops,…and still leave you with the ability…to show and work with files on your desktop…that you want your viewers to see.…In a later movie, I'll show you how to use ScreenFlow…to hide all files on your desktop automatically.…
