What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow is by far the easiest and most user-friendly video editing tool I've used. I feel it's perfect for anyone who doesn't have a lot of video editing experience and is looking for a reliable tool for quick editing. The software doesn't have any super fancy features, but it's just what I need for quick editing. It's very easy to use and offers some google quality features for both image and audio editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I think it lacks some more advanced features and effects for videos. If you need something fancy in terms of, for example, animations and special effects, it looks like it would be harder to achieve the results with Screenflow in comparison to products in the Adobe Suite, for example. However, since I never needed anything that complicated, it's still very good for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Screenflow helps me whenever I need to put together a promo video or when I need to quickly edit/crop a video into multiple pieces. I also use it to add subtitles on promo and educational videos. It allows for quick results and can easily export to different formats and sizes. I've also used it in the past for screen capture a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

The user interface is very simple and smooth to use. Editing video content is very streamlined and effecient in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

The scroll bar at times doesn't move effectively with the Mac Book track pad motions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Screenflow creates a much higher quality video capture than other softwares, such as Loom Video. It also gives me the ability to quickly add on an intro/outro to a screen capture for a much more professional look/feel when creating quick plug and play content. Also integrates with other platforms to load your video, in my case, Wistia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

I have used many programs to make tutorials for my YouTube channel and none is even close to being as good as Screenflow. Not only is the recording process easy, but editing is child's play. Even if you do advanced things like using chroma key, it does everything well and simply.

Can you tell I love it? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

There is nothing I don't like, I have tried many programs and ScreenFlow is by far the best. It would be great if it were cheaper but once purchased you will get a lot of value out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am dedicated to content creation and was looking for a tool to make video tutorials in a simple and professional way. My goal is a program that doesn't make me think about it but allows me to spend time on content creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

The best thing about it is that it lets you capture a specific area of your screen, instead of making you record a whole window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

There are a lot of features that I don't know how to use. It seems like a complex product. I just know how to do one thing and I stick with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

I will say the software is easy to use. I was able to pick up and use Screenflo with minimal time spent learning. I mostly make video edits for my books as promotional items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

You will never stop paying for this product even though it's advertised as a license. ScreenFlo updates often, and the updates are not free. They are EXPENSIVE. For the price I've paid with all the paid updates, I would rather have got something better. I suggest either making this a subscription or STOP charging for updates. Vellum never charges for updates like bug fixes which are frankly the responsibility of the creator. Oh, and want to use it on more than one of your devices? NOPE. You've got to buy another full license to do that. I am incredibly frustrated with this aspect and regret buying it. I wish I'd subscribed to Adobe Premiere Pro. For what I've paid now, it's the same. I won't be bothering to pay for any more updates and will be switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm honestly going elsewhere. For what you pay continuously, there are far better products out there. Even leaving this review has been a pain. They dictate the flow of it. I have to write it how ScreenFlo wants it. I'm not answering your dictatorial format that has been laid out for this review. It's my review. I should get to write it how I like. You guys are the literal worst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow allows me to flawlessly capture whatever is happening on my laptop or desktop. It allows me to capture input from multiple sources and then edit them independently into one movie document. The ability to add multiple layers with the originally captured content is a wonderful feature for tutorials and educational videos. The ability to rapidly crop a portion of any video clip and layer it above or beneath other videos is something I have wanted in high-end video editors, but never really got. ScreenFlow delivers. Above all, the price bracket is just right for entry-level prosumers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I want to see a version of ScreenFlow available on Windows and Linux computers. The thing that makes it so good is itss major limitation. It is only available on Mac OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

I have used Screenflow for years, and I like how easy it is to record, store, and edit screen captures. Also - unlike some other software I've tried - the resolution/compression of the capture is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I have not found anything yet that I dislike about the product. I only use it for limited settings, but it works admirably for those uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Screenflow, where recording within an app is impossible, or we need a backup source for a recording. There are also specific software demonstrations where I need to capture the cursor movement and UI animations, and Screenflow works incredibly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buggy behavior, gas-lighting support, paying for upgrades to fix bugs which don't actually get fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do a lot of training videos for voiceover actors that relate to audio engineering with software toolsets. Screenflow was my favorite way to do this for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

It's probably my most-used piece of video creation software. It's definitely my most used for both video and audio editing. It's my daily go-to for SO many projects, big and small. In fact, I've used Screenflow to edit full, corporate-style sales videos. I love it. I don't know what I'd do without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

This is where I'll have to be honest... because I've used it for YEARS and used it a LOT, I've experienced many crashes, freezes, and bugs. BUT nothing so debilitating that it stops a project in its tracks. Usually, any "bugs" can be fixed by simply restarting the software or the computer. In 10+ years of using Screenflow, I think I've only lost projects due to software errors like 2 or 3 times. Not fun, but a pretty good record for 10+ years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Screenflow allows me to quickly jump in and create all sorts of video and audio content on the fly, as inspiration strikes or the need arises, without getting bogged down with complex editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike about Screenflow, as they continue to regularly make major improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Documenting the software I build is as simple as recording myself using my software. My clients appreciate annotated how-to videos much more than dry text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
