Designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/1/2025 "Professional Video Capturing with Room for Improvement" 3.5/5 What do you like best about screenflow? I appreciate ScreenFlow for its professional video capturing and editing capabilities, and the wide array of editing possibilities it offers, including animation and keypoints. The platform's ability to record my screen efficiently is a significant advantage. Additionally, I love that I can export different sources like the webcam and display separately, and I have the option to add more videos if needed. The simple interface combined with the animation features, such as zoom effects, are easy to use and implement, which enhances my workflow without being overwhelming. Furthermore, the audio quality improvements are particularly impressive, providing a higher quality output that I value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about screenflow? I find the lack of an autozoom or follow feature inconvenient as it requires more manual effort in editing. It would be beneficial if the software automatically followed the mouse cursor and zoomed in accordingly to save time on edits. The handling of the mouse could be improved with more options for cursor design and management. Additionally, the user interface is outdated and can feel overwhelming compared to more modern applications, suggesting that a redesign would be beneficial. Moreover, there are limited animation possibilities, which limits creative options during video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you? I use ScreenFlow for professional video capturing and editing with simple animation and keypoint features, solving the problem of recording my screen efficiently.

Product Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/15/2022 "Useful, but complex" 4/5 What do you like best about screenflow?

CY Cho Yin Y. System Administrator Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/26/2016 "Screen Recorder for Mac" 3.5/5 What do you like best about screenflow? This software has several advantages over the default Quicktime screen recording feature. Firstly, the fan does not spin as quick on a Macbook which creates a lot of noise. Secondly, Screenflow allows for basic post-recording processing/editing, which in Quicktime requires importing to iMovie to obtain the same feature. Also, its screen recording quality is decent as well. When recording games, there is no big decrease in the fps which is ideal for computers that are not in the high-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about screenflow? The editing features are pretty minimal and sometimes I still resort back to other video editing software such as Final Cut Pro or iMovie. Their project files are also very large and takes up hard drive space very fast if long periods of time are recorded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering screenflow: One should consider screenflow only if there are not lack of funds. Recognising there are free aternatives such as OBS in the market which provides similar services (excluding the editing software), Screenflow might not be ideal for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you? To record to screen, present ideas and create tutorial videos on Youtube. With quicktime it is required that an external mic to be plugged in, if not, the loud fan noise will be heard in the recording. Not the case with Screenflow which makes it very friendly.

Studio Coach and Livestream Instructor - German Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/12/2016 "Best Editing/Recording Software for Newcomers" 3.5/5 What do you like best about screenflow? The simplicity of Screenflow is simply astounding. It maintains it's simplicity while offering plenty of features and a having a nice overlay. It has more than enough features for anyone who is starting out with recording, video, or even audio editing. Everything is clealy labeled and the software has a nice visibility in general. It has plenty of compatibility with multiple formats that are supported for both importing and exporting. The software is very user firendy and requires only minimal tinkering around with to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about screenflow? While the software remains simple and easy to use, it lacks in the features department once the user becomes more experienced. This only applies to the editing part of Screenflow as the screen capture part is one of the bests parts of the software. The audio editing features are the ones lacking the most followed by the video editing features. Althoguh they are great for beginners they start becomming repetitive and aren't that useful for more advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering screenflow: For beginners, Screenflow is quite possibly the best entry to screen capture and slight video/audio editing. Although on the pricey side of applications, it is a great software to invest in as it will teach the basics to any newcomer. everything is clealry labeled and easily accessible, making it one of the easiest softwares on the market to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Video/Motion Graphics Consultant Philanthropy Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/19/2016 "Why Does This Still Exist?" 3.5/5 What do you like best about screenflow? It captures video easily and makes pointing out what's on the screen in the editing UI easy, but really the OS should be handling this operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about screenflow? The audio plug in fails, often, and it seems that Telestream, the maker, has all but abandoned the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering screenflow: The alternative I've found is Camtasia, which is a little clunkier and a worse UI but has more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is screenflow solving and how is that benefiting you? I use it to make screencast tutorials. It's fast and easy (and for a while was better than FCP, since it's 64-bit and FCP was 32-bit). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
