What is screenflow?

The easy-to-use editing interface lets you creatively edit your video. When you are done, use the built-in sharing to publish your video directly to YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Facebook, Google Drive, Dropbox or to Telestream Cloud for transcoding.

Uncluttered, thoughtful user interface streamlines workflow and makes it easy to apply effects and annotations. 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.

What do you like best about screenflow?

I like how easy it is to learn how to use Screenflow. It didn't take me long to accomplish the handful of tasks I was looking to accomplish. You can also set templates for things you reuse on a regular basis, which makes video editing faster. I also love that you can export your work as an animated gif, which is often a better method of displaying it to the end user.

They have just enough features to put together professional looking videos, but not SO many that you get overwhelmed. I wouldn't recommend it for 2-hour long, feature-length, cinematic movies for the big screen... but that's not what it was designed for.

For creating educational videos, it's the perfect blend of professional features with ease-of-use.

It's also very affordable, and they host frequent webinars, as well as post many video tutorials on their site. These are wonderfully done and really help learn the new features... and some existing ones you didn't know existed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

It'd be great if it was available for other operating systems besides Mac. I'm sure this is a huge undertaking to develop a cross-platform app, but it has really locked me into buying a new Macbook instead of consider other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I provide support for software I sell, and when people have questions, I often record a video showing them how to solve their issues. They love this over typical written responses.

I also use it to produce video tutorials and create video for online courses I sell. It's a wonderful tool for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow is more than just a screen recording utility: it effortlessly incorporates audio and video media which you drop onto the editor; working with the timeline is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I would like to recommend this to all my friends, but the pricing discourages many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering screenflow:

Make sure the sound levels are sufficient, they cannot be widely adjusted within Screenflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I combine video and audio from my online lectures with additional instructional material, to obtain a professionally looking end product with little effort. A small technical issue: I cannot adjust the sound levels over a sufficiently broad range, need a separate audio editor for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow is the easiest video editor I've ever used. Initially, I only used it to capture screen recordings and publish videos of software demonstrations/training. But I eventually began using it for creating any video shorts--even those that used my computer camera.

The timeline is simple to understand. Editing is very easy. And it processes pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

There really isn't anything I dislike about Screenflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering screenflow:

If you want to make software training videos or explainer videos (where you record your screen as you go through a PowerPoint or Keynote), this is a great software to have. It records your audio, your screen, and can also record from your computer camera (to capture a face shot). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I create marketing explainer videos for my work, software training videos for my work, and I also create video explanations for my friends and family (e.g. "how to play the piano").

Basically, I create animated slides in Keynote and then I record my screen as I go through the slide show. I also record my screen as I go through a software demonstration and either take a small snippet and turn it into a GIF or publish the video directly to Vimeo so I can share the video with others.

What do you like best about screenflow?

Quick to learn, especially if familiar with basic video apps like iMovie! I have been worried about expanding into video production, and the video expert at work recommended Screenflow. He said, "within 30 minutes, you'll be familiar enough with the interface to start creating stuff." He was right! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

The Video Actions are very helpful, but when, say, scrolling an image, editing the action can affect both the start and end point. Might be user error on my part, but I'm unable to adjust placement of scrolling images without Screenflow "helping." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering screenflow:

It helps to know timeline basics, so make sure you are already familiar with interfaces like iMovie or similar (or even if you've used AfterEffects/Premiere/FinalCut). Screenflow handles high-resolution easily, and HandBrake is a great additional app for converting .mov to .mp4. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been able to get up to speed on Screenflow quickly, which has allowed me to create nifty video assets for my company's digital signage (BrightSign platform). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it easy to record training materials, instruction videos for clients and team members, as well as troubleshooting videos for customer support when I have an issue with software etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be pricey to upgrade when a new version comes out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have team members overseas and it makes it a lot easier to communicate with them when we need to show them changes we need on a design etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

I used to use iMovie, that was included in my Mac. After some tutorials on video making I found this application. From the first moment it was very fast and easy to use. No 12 hours video loading time until you can start working like in iMovie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

Maybe there should still be more extra advance features. But I still haven't used the app at his 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering screenflow:

Its a very good application to start of intermediate PC users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Small demo/tutorial videos. The good thing you can load videos and start working right a way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about screenflow?

It has to be the built-in editor and all the functionalities and cool features it has... there is so much you can do to your video after recording it... you wont imagine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

It works only on Mac... for now! Since we have several editing stations, on those that are Mac we use it.... But on all the PC´s we have to use other (not as good) programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering screenflow:

Get it Get it Get it!!! Pay whatever you have to pay because this is one of those tools that once you start using them, you never stop! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can record the screen and create awesome trainning or educational videos in a fraction of the time... For example, we can make great looking animations on Keynote o PowerPoint, run them while we record the screen, and voila... you got yourself a great animation video Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
