I need to set my screen resolution 1280×720 (this is a requirement for a screencast I need to create). When I go into the Display – Scaled menu this is no longer available as an option on Yosemite, even though it was available on previous versions of the OS on the same laptop.
Is there a way in Yosemite to access or force different screen resolutions for this?

You can install John Ford's screenresolution utility via
brew install screenresolution
. Alternatively you can download and compile the source here.Once the utility is installed you can see all available resolutions via
screenresolution list
. Assuming the appropriate resolution is listed you can set your display with something likescreenresolution set 1280x720x32
