Screenflow is a reliable, quality software for screen recording. I highly recommend it!
- 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
- You have to use specific keys to stop recording and if you forget them you have to close out the application to stop recording.
- It's a fairly basic software, it would be nice to see them add new functionality, but they haven't done much to improve it over the years.

- Ease of use - the interface is very intuitive
- Versatility - the ability to simultaneously record from multiple sources
- Easy to export - the finished product can be saved as a file, emailed, or posted to online platforms like YouTube
- It works only on the Mac OS platform, not on PC
- There is no iOS version; it must be used on a Mac OS laptop or desktop

My Screen Recording App
- Screen recording.
- Exporting/uploading directly to YouTube/Vimeo, etc.
- Video editing with annotations.
- Frequent and nagging updates.
- When updating, I don't necessarily see the tactical advantage of why I paid for the upgrade.
- Screenflow easily records your desktop video and/or audio, with functionality that works even across multi-monitor setups.
- The program has really incredible features for basic cutting and editing of the capture within screenflow once it is done.
- The program has an impressive amount of options for expecting different formats of video and audio. I'm most impressed by the lossless audio and uncompressed video formats that give the best possible quality for importing into video projects.
- Better customization and more tools during recording would both be helpful.

Powerful and easy to use video editing software
- Video capture is awesome and it separates out audio and video
- Fixing mistakes is easy
- Easy to trim videos
- Easy to stitch together different types of media and sources for audio and video
- Easy to perform highlights and animations
- It can be hard to learn if you don't have someone to show you how to do it.
- It's only available on Mac (I'd love to be able to use it on my home computer which is a Windows machine when working from home).
- Simple ways to cut and layer clips when telling a story.
- Very easy to use motion tools to allow for zoom in/out when cutting video.
- Great transition options especially when using it with text.
- Needs to be designed for use on WIndows so we can use this tool more broadly across teams.

screenflow - best kept secret
- Allows me to add text easily on top of the video for more thorough explanations that can be read AS viewers listen to the instructional videos.
- I can highlight my cursor and dim the background. This is useful to #1 - keep the viewer from missing where you are "clicking" when you give instructions and #2 - to keep the rest of the screen viewed from being a distraction.
- It exports the video fast and at high quality. This is a strength because viewers of today want to see crisp clear videos - otherwise they often leave the video. . The second reason is that I do not have time to allow my computer to be busy exporting for two hours (as other products have done) - Screenflow exports a 40minutes video in approximately 12 minutes at 1080o resolution.
- It is user-friendly ... minimalist style interface. There are not hundreds of options (I could go to another application if I wanted that). I have five major options - each with about 5 - 7 sub-options. On average, I need two of the primary buttons and make the adjustments in the sub-option. This ia great because I then can avoid having to look up a YouTube video to figure out how to accomplish X. I would dare say it is the most intuitive interfaces I have ever seen on an application of this type.
- Pricing is reasonable and updates are even more reasonable. I have only had to pay "extra" when the upgrade was a major one. Users get many upgrades at no cost and those that cost are at an upgrade price which is very inexpensive. This is good for the simple reason that funds are tight. We all face that issue once and again. For my department - it is a tight budget on a consistent basis. It isn't terribly difficult to get the funds for this because the price is so reasonable.
- I would like to see hint names pop-up when I roll over an icon for a particular function. This is one thing I felt that I had to learn on my own.
- Some of the uses of functions were not completely obvious - though I find the application as a whole quite intuitive, there are some "unknowns" - especially if I skip a few months using it (which is seldom) but it has happened. The suggestion is to make it better understood.
- When I want to add other media - I then discover that not all media types are accepted. If a list of media extensions (i.e. mov, avi, mk4 -- mp3, flac, etc) were listed it would help avoid frustrations when preparations are made to "mix the various types.
- Transitions at minimal. When I right-click on the video track and just want to select fade-in fade-out option, they do not always work - the reason isn't given therefore I have to go without. If the reason is given, I can possibly "fix" the issue at hand.

The best linear video editor for Mac
- It's the best solution that exists for narrating something you're doing on the computer
- Super simple to use
- Excellent green screen support
- 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 is an Excellent Resource
- screenflow is simple to use.
- screenflow captures embedded audio from internet video perfectly.
- The video quality is very good.
- I believe screenflow is gearing itself towards being some sort of an Adobe replacement (Premiere Pro), and it doesn’t really fit that bill well.
- The software functions well as a video editor program for novice editors, but it lacks the deep customization and functions of Adobe Premiere Pro.
- If you are using it for a screen capture application, it’s great for that. If you’re trying to replace Premiere Pro and use it as a video editor, you are probably going to be disappointed.
- The price point of $100 was a bit steep for something that is essentially a screen capture program.
