ScreenFlow vs. Vmaker

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.

It's perfect for Vloggers, website reviews, short videos and screen captures of other recording platforms.

• Makes recorded screen captures quick and easy
• Allows you to edit the videos that you recorded directly in the application
• Allows you to export to MP3
• The quality of the recordings is great

• Easy to highlight and annotate parts of my screen while recording
• Records meetings including computer audio and mic simultaneously
• easy to use video editor that allows you to edit videos to just include the necessary information

• 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.

• Wish they allowed virtual webcam backgrounds or blurred background on the Free plan.
• Some of the messaging on the site is a bit inconsistent re pricing of the plans (some refer to annual pricing paid monthly vs monthly pricing)

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.

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.
