Pinnacle Studio vs. ScreenFlow

It is easy to use with very little explanation. It seems well suited for a creative individual looking to make a professional video.

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.

• Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate.
• This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have.
• I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again.

• 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.

It could use slight improvements. But overall a wonderful product.

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.

I have not used other products like Pinnacle Studio.

We looked at things like Loom and all those other screen recorders, but Screenflow is just so much more powerful. It can do everything we want it to and more, even things like Chroma Key (green screen), text on video, transitions, all that. It's a pretty great software for making videos.
