My Screen Recording App

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

screenflow is the easiest screen recording software for the Mac. It simply works and editing videos on it is super easy. I use this to record actions that I am doing that ultimately become part of our standard operating procedures (SOPs). Furthermore, it's very easy to make visual walk-throughs to demonstrate concepts for clients and staff alike.

Pros

Screen recording.
Exporting/uploading directly to YouTube/Vimeo, etc.
Video editing with annotations.

Cons

Frequent and nagging updates.
When updating, I don't necessarily see the tactical advantage of why I paid for the upgrade.

Likelihood to Recommend

I record all of my screen walk-throughs, demonstrations, and webinars with screenflow. I also really like the tools like making callouts, audio filtering, etc. I found the interface to edit the videos to be much more straightforward than other traditional tools like Adobe Premier, Rush and even Final Cut Pro.

Screenflow is an Excellent Resource

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Screenflow is being used by a single department, and not across the business as a whole. The main issue screenflow addresses is that it solves the issue of screen capture of video, including embedded audio sources.

Pros

screenflow is simple to use.
screenflow captures embedded audio from internet video perfectly.
The video quality is very good.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Screenflow is excellent for those times when you need to pull video from an internet source, such as a news website where video downloads are inaccessible.
