Saving the recording will only save a ScreenFlow project with the raw video. To get a standard format video such as .mp4, choose File>Export…. Pick "Web - High". Then click the "Customize…" button. Here you can set the framerate to 60fps if desired, as well as picking a good bit rate (4000 kbits/sec seems adequate when using 60fps). The quality of the audio should not need to be higher than 128kbit AAC. Save the settings, then back on the export screen make sure that the Dimensions setting is "Scale by 100%".
