The best software to produce video courses on MacOS
My overall experience is more than positive, thanks to the fact that I can make course videos very easily and quickly, without sacrificing impactful editing and effects. I would perhaps prefer to pay a little more on a one-time basis so that I can avoid the paid upgrades.
PROSScreenflow in my opinion is the best software to produce video courses for those who use macOS. The simplicity with which you can add special effects, callouts, sounds is disarming. Adding your own voice track is super easy, as is editing and managing secondary screens, webcams, iOS devices connected to show apps and systems running.
CONSOne of the things I dislike very little is the fact that upgrades are paid for. Also, in some situations it is unclear how to manage projects, especially when saving as a single file or "package".
Reasons for switching to ScreenFlow
I needed a single platform, capable of capturing from many sources simultaneously and having me edit each one in a streamlined and efficient manner. Previous solutions were either too basic or too complicated. In this software I found my happy medium between fun and effort.

Easy as pie
Screenflow has been great. Because I travel I often have to move the license from my iMac desktop to my laptop. And sometimes I have to do this remotely. I'm often away for months at a time and don't know whether I'll need to use it for a project. But with remote desktop access I can unassign the license and reassign it to my laptop and vice versa without a hitch. Really easy to do. I'm am so glad I opted for this when I did. Oh and the tutorials and help resources are all you'll need if you want to do something a bit more flash. I've managed to create some lovely gif animations which I didn't imagine I would.
PROSScreen capture is so straightforward and easy to set up, and then you can be straight into the editing suite. Recording high-quality audio at the same time. I haven't really scratched the surface of what Screenflow can do but even with the most basic of features, I'm not overwhelmed with all the features. The output has been very professional and clear and clean. I've been really happy with the results.
CONSThere's very little to say here. I haven't hit a major problem. Although there is one thing, which is mainly my issue. I've gotten in the habit of recording my 5K iMac screen at full resolution so I can do some nice zoom ins and zoom outs, but of course this leads to quite large files. Which in itself isn't a problem, as hard drives are generally very large now. It just means it fills up my cloud storage so I have to keep backups of the source screencaptures local, and backed up to an external hard drive. Again not Screenflow's fault!
Reason for choosing ScreenFlow
Ease of use. Range of features. Great recommendations. Demo videos. Lots of support and tutorial videos. Oh, and the price was a no-brainer really.

A solid video editing option for Mac users
Of the different things ScreenFlow brings to the table, my favorite one is its user interface. Some video editing software I used in the past did have a relatively "busy" workspace, full with different features, effects, etc. All of this, made the experience with such tools not as smooth and straightforward as it could have been. Things are different with ScreenFlow, though. The workspace isn't clutter, which makes it easier to work on different aspects of your video, be it the video part, the audio part or even additional elements such as text, transitions and still images. As a Mac user, I'm used to apps and programmes often have a rather "minimalistic" and decluttered approach, and ScreenFlow falls perfectly into this category. Plus, it can be used as a screen and video recorder too, making it a pretty complete solution for all things video.
CONSCompared to other video editing solutions, ScreenFlow can come across as relatively pricey. And whenever new features are made available, are included in newer versions of the app – which require you pay to actually get the update, since it isn't free.

More robust editing than free screenshare tools...
I have a small YouTube channel where I share technical how-tos. I also share walkthroughs and instructions with employees and contractors. This works much better for the more elaborate, and sensitive videos as I can edit out passwords, names etc which free tools like Loom don't allow you to do yet.
PROSI work in IT and am constantly sending instructions to contractors, or clients. Some of the free options are great, but lack in the editing functions that Screenflow just knocks out of the park. You can overlay music so walkthroughs are less dry and awkward, and add click effects or Zooms to specific parts of the video. You can also use blur tools to block out API keys, passwords, or any other sensitive information that may have otherwise made its way into your tutorial/walkthrough.
CONSNot a huge userbase, but support is still relatively easy to find online when there's something new I'm trying to accomplish. The app's interface is almost too simple, but after a short time, you get used to where things are. Overall, still very happy with this software.
Reason for choosing ScreenFlow
Much more robust feature set. I could see Loom being a 1:1 comparison for sales/marketing videos, but for walkthroughs and technical documentation where you need more robust editing tools to protect sensitive info or add effects, Screenflow is the winner and warrants the price that they ask.
