When training others to use a software application, I find this is amazingly helpful to accomplish using screenflow. The application allows me to video what I am doing in the application while explaining it in details. There are other uses of course, one that I found was to capture myself talking through students' research papers/thesis and explain where changes need to be made. Of course, MS Word has the tracking changes option and a professor can go through sentence by sentence - the downfall of this is that students #1 - do not always understand what is being suggested as we all cut back on words when typed out versus spoken. #2 - students do not always read the added comments thoroughly. Viewers watch the video and listen to a voice quicker than reading remarks. The viewing and voice, in my opinion, are the greatest part of the end product provided to viewers. This tool can assist anyone's work that trains others...be it industry or educational fields.

The on-screen text options are limited and inferior to competitors
Transitions aren't as easy to use as they could be. They need to be modified in the preferences pane, which is strange.
Green screen settings can be fiddly; but this is really splitting hairs. It's hard to tell what's their fault and what's mine.

screenflow 8.6

Based on 2 answers

It works well and fits into my workflow. The tools are much easier and straightforward to work with. Other video editing tools like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro are simply too complicated for this type of task.

Screenflow offers a clean interface and intuitive tools like I have not seen across other video editing products, often times because of the many complexities that are delivered with video editing software. I have used many many video editing tools in my past and this one seemed to be a perfect blend of simple must-have features, combined with a little taste of the advanced tools that you expect to see in higher-end products like Aftereffects.

This allows me to make a presentation once and then distribute it widely. This increases efficiency and effectiveness.
It allows me to demonstrate apps and concepts, not just talk about them. This allows clients to grasp concepts much more readily.
