Overall Satisfaction with ScreenFlow

ScreenFlow is our primary video creation and editing software We use others, but for most projects, it’s our go-to application. The preponderance of use cases in our organization revolve around the development of training videos, both for internal and external clients. Some of the secondary uses are for testimonials and product videos.

Pros

  • Timeline scrubbing works well
  • Integration of type and other graphical elements
  • Useful built-in resource library
  • Simple creation of transitions

Cons

  • Limited capacity for animation
  • The controls for turning off and on video and sound on individual tracks function inconsistently
  • Precise clip edits are difficult in the clip editor
  • ScreenFlow does not alert the user when an action creates a problem. You don’t find out until you try to save your project.
  • This is a low cost license, so the output is almost entirely to the upside
  • Years ago, we determined it was essential to have a video representation of our products and services. ScreenFlow has enabled the development of these and many other videos as well as our training programs for employees and clients. All this has been accomplished with a relatively low cost to entry.
It’s much easier to use than Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro. For most projects in our organization, we do not need the advanced capabilities of those applications, so it’s well suited to our business needs.
Open Broadcast Studio - limited editing capacity
Final Cut Pro - advanced but difficult to learn

Do you think ScreenFlow delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ScreenFlow's feature set?

Yes

Did ScreenFlow live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of ScreenFlow go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ScreenFlow again?

Yes

ScreenFlow is well suited to the creation of short video projects. When the project becomes longer than 10 or 15 minutes, the application seems to bog down independently of the configuration of the hardware on which is running. if you want to create animations, this is not the application to use.
