"Intuitive software to help you with screen captures and video editing."
4.5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

I love how easy it is to edit screen captures. When I started using this software, I didn't have any prior experience with video editing. Screenflow is so easy to learn how to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I honestly can't think of anything I really dislike about it. I wish I could use MP4 files in Screenflow but I understand why I can't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Full Stack Video Editing Software, Tons of Features to Learn, Utilize, and Create Awesome Media"
4.5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow has everything that you need to build awesome media. They have tons of features and allow you to build very eccentric pieces of media with all the layers you need. The learning curve is a bit high with everything you can do, but there are a lot of things on YouTube you can watch to learn, they have a huge community of people who do tutorials.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

Takes a bit of time to learn. The resources online are not very good and would be ideal to have a type of 'master class' that is done to show you how to do this (Think like a new age 'Bob Ross'). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect tool for screencasts"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

Easy handling, comes with all required features. Even without any professional video cutting/editing background, I was able to use screenflow right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

The color (currently black or grey) of the starting and ending transition cannot be changed. So there is nothing really to dislike, only to improve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool that my friends on Windows are jealous about."
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

The flexibility to record anything from a voice over, to your screen, your webcam or even your iPhone. Screenflow makes it really easy to create professional marketing and tutorial videos for our business.

The price compared to other professional video editing tools like Adobe After Effects is really great and in 99% of all use cases, you probably don't need After Effects to create a tutorial video for your customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

It happened to me twice, that I tried to record my screen only to find out 30 minutes later that I didn't check the "Record Desktop" checkbox. Maybe an additional dialog even when you start recording in the document would help.

Working on a small laptop can also get a little bit difficult if you are working with multiple timelines and audio tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant Screen recording software for the Mac"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

ScreenFlow has an easy to use interface with useful tools to help you enhance your recorded video. You can do video edits, such as adding click effects, highlighting menu items, adding text and transitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

Screenflow keeps adding useful features and increased stability with each release, so feature-wise it's fantastic for what it does. I do find the 2 computer limit per license somewhat irritating. I prefer that the software be licensed to the user to use on whatever computer they happen to be using at the time. Screenflow is Mac only, but there is similar software available to Windows users.
