Screencast-O-Matic for teachers

I like using screencast-o-matic for screen recordings! It works well and lets me use a stylus and on screen writing. It's easy to edit, download, and share.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I love how easy it is to use screencast-o-matic! I don't have any special video editing skills, but have quickly learned to edit short screen recordings for review of questions for students. This software is intuitive. It is easy to record, to edit out parts, add in content, and make a usable product.

Cons:

I've really not found anything I didn't like. I've gotten better at editing as I've used the product more, but it was easy to use with a little practice. I didn't have any formal training and easily picked up how to use the program.

ScreenPal is my Go To Tool

A+ experience with ScreenPal. I have recommended it to others and at least 2 people have purchased it from my recommendations and still use it. I LOVE ScreenPal. When I started using the price point was insanely low so it was a no-brainer to subscribe for several years in advance because this tool was just so awesome!!!

Functionality

Pros:

I used ScreenPal when it was Screencast-O-Matic. I learned about it from Youtubers that said making their videos was inexpensive and easy. I've been using it for a long time. I truly enjoy the ease of video editing, screen recording and link sharing. Those are my favorite features. Now that I know about the audio recording features, I will definitely be using those. The simple pricing and low cost for such an easy-to-use, robust tool of this caliber couldn't be passed up.

Cons:

One of my biggest cons would pertain to layering of edits made during video editing. For example, if I've cut one part, then overlay text next, then inserted a video, etc. I'm not able to just remove that first cut and keep the rest of the edits that I made subsequently after that. Now granted, I'm not a professional video editor, so I'm not sure if that's something you can do anyway, however that's the biggest con. I have to essentially start everything over if I mess up an edit later down the line. Perhaps you all have some training on how to do this and I'm just not aware, but that's the only issue I would say.

Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

Price and steep learning curves were turnoffs

Price has gone up nearly 500% Ridiculous

Since screenpal have taken over it has been hit-and-miss. When it works it is fine. I use it to review work and mostly screen recording. The thing that really has annoyed me is the price increase of nearly 500% I have been using the app for years but I wont pay 500% more per year for it.

Vendor Response

Hi Lloyd, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with our software, and I'd like to make sure we help you resolve these issues. I understand that you are on legacy pricing. We've greatly expanded our feature set over the years and believe our pricing is still very affordable given the value of our product, but I can understand that it's challenging to compare pricing from many years ago to our new plans today. My teammate has already reached out to you, and I hope we're able to resolve the issues you're experiencing with the app as soon as possible. Please contact us at support@screenpal.com if we can help you with anything else - thank you! - Rebecca at ScreenPal

My GOTO screen recorder

I'm delighted with SOM. I've been using it since V1 to share tutorials with my team, record webinars, VSLs, online trainings and group meetings.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Screencast-O-Matic is like the powerpoint for video/screenshots. You can quickly and easily record your screen and/or your webcam... or make screenshots (without having the app crashing on you in the middle of it). Then edit what you need with their embedded editor. (I like that the mic signal is cleaned automatically within the editor to remove undesirable noises.) One more click and your final output is shared online within their included cloud service. If you chose to save the video to your computer, you won't need to re-compress it with handbrake to save space as it's already producing decently sized files (3 compression levels available). You can even configure it to save your work files in the cloud so that you can come back later to them from anywhere and continue where you left (or just cancel as many actions as you wish - all your history is saved along with your final output). I also like the fact that it comes with royalty free music we can use within our videos in a few clicks. I'm happy to pay monthly. The price is ridiculous and it's an awesome product that keeps being updated.

Cons:

To my regret, they removed in V2 the "automatic documentation" feature which was available in V1. There is now the possibility to import an external video and edit it within the tool; unfortunately, some MP4 codecs have playback issues. That's about it for the cons.

Reasons for switching to ScreenPal

Camstudio : It kept crashing and the final output needed to be edited and/or re-compressed with another tool. Camtasia : It kept crashing too back then and it was adding a heavy load to the computer when recording.

Essential tool for our video production

I'm using SOM to create all our company's screencasts, tutorials and short presentation videos. It's intuitive, fast, and does everything we need (with the above exceptions).

Functionality

Pros:

I especially like the video editor, whose interface is uncommon, but really comfortable to use, different from any other tool I considered. And you have tons of options to create very sophisticated videos.

Cons:

Right now, when you overlay an element to your video (such as another video or an image), you don't see its coordinates, so it's difficult to create 2 different videos with elements in the same spot. I'm also missing a quicker way to generate GIF previews in order to share videos via email. And finally, I'd like more options to embed videos to emails, because the current iFrame and oEmbed aren't correctly rendered by Gmail, for instance.

Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

Because it's Java based and we can use it on all company's computers, regardless of their OS.

Reasons for switching to ScreenPal

I'm still using both CloudApp and Loom, but when we need a proper video editor, we only use SOM.

Pros:

The price to upgrade and use the system's full array of features is quite modest and definitely worth it as the platform is incredibly easy to use.

Cons:

The platform does not offer an option for a one-off payment for lifetime use of the product. Instead, if a user wants to benefit from the more advanced features that go beyond the free package, they will need to be an annual subscription.

Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

Screencast-O-Matic seemed to be a more versatile and reliable product.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Screen-Cast-O-Matic is the easiest screen capture software I've used, and in 20 years as a corporate trainer I've used a lot of them. Capturing the screen is very similar to other software of this type. It's the editing features that make the big difference. I'm able to easily cut, blur, highlight, zoom in, etc. in just seconds. No other screen capture software that I've used is this easy. I also like the video picture in picture feature.

Cons:

The only issue I've had with this software is when I got a new computer with a high resolution monitor. The software isn't made to work at high resolution and the interface is very tiny. I have to record, and then relaunch allowing the system to adjust the scaling in order to the editing. I did report this to the company but it doesn't seem to have been fixed yet.

Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

It had more video editing features.

Reasons for switching to ScreenPal

I switched because the price was so much cheaper, but I love the functionality so much better.
