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.

Ease of use

Pros:

Screenflow 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.

Cons:

One 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.

Functionality

Pros:

Screen 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.

Cons:

There'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!

Reasons 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

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

Compared 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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I 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.

Cons:

Not 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.

Reasons 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.

This is a great product. I have recommended it dozens of times to online entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, ecommerce entrepreneurs, YouTubers and and a number of other people who need a great screen recording tool.

Pros:

ScreenFlow is EXTREMELY easy to use, but in this case easy doesn't mean low-powered. ScreenFlow is PACKED full of just about every feature and option you could ask for. 90% of what we use it for is grabbing fast screen recordings that get integrated into larger videos. Screenflow is PERFECT for this task.

Cons:

We really don't have any "negatives" for ScreenFlow. It does everything we need it to (and much more).

Reasons for choosing ScreenFlow

Easy of use and the shorter learning curve.

Reasons for switching to ScreenFlow

We settled on Screenflow over Camtasia because the learning curve was faster on ScreenFlow. Camtasia is a good product too, but we found the power and simplicity of ScreenFlow to be a much better product.

My Go-to Software For More Than Just Screen Recording

It's probably my most-used piece of software. Definitely my most used for video and audio editing and creation. It's my daily go-to for SO many projects, big and small. I love it. Don't know what I'd do without it.

Pros:

For me, this makes media work a breeze. Screenflow is so flexible and easy to use, it really takes something pretty complex to make me use anything else. From quick video creation, editing and even audio recording, it's my go-to. It makes so many projects quick and easy.

Cons:

This is where I'll have to be honest... because I've used it for YEARS and used it A LOT, I've experienced many crashes, freezes and bugs. BUT nothing so debilitating that stops a project in its tracks. Usually any mishaps or "bugs" can be solved with a simple restart of the software or restart of the computer. In 10+ years using Screenflow, I think I've only completely lost projects due to software error 2 or 3 times.

A reliable and capable screen recorder for macOS

When providing software training, ScreenFlow has become my “go-to” tool to record and share videos with my clients and colleagues. The ease of use and the wide range of export capabilities make it a great choice out of the tools I use on a regular basis.

Pros:

ScreenFlow’s feature set offers many tools to record and edit videos from your computer screen. You can show keyboard interactions and highlight areas in different ways. The timeline can hold several streams, you can add still images, separate audio files and work with different effects.

Cons:

Some features are not obvious to discover. The price point is higher than for other screen recorders but the features and stability are worth it.

Great video editing tool for beginners

Awesome! I can't complain, it's a great software and I've been using it for editing videos for more than 4 years. I love it and recommend it to everyone who is looking for an easy-to-use editing tool. It could be improved in some aspects, but all software can. It's a trade-off that I'm willing to make.

My favorite thing about Screenflow is that it is super user-friendly, having an awesome UX and UI, making it so easy for beginners to quickly edit videos. I love that it's clean, quick to learn and that it allows for a lot of different features. Exporting options are good and easy.

Cons:

I wish it offers more pre-set animation and effects, making it easier to, for example, animate a logo. I think it's great for a lot of things but it has its limitations in comparison to other software, such as Premiere, for example. I wish it was cheaper.

ScreenFlow: The Amazing App for Recording Your Screen!

Despite this one downside, I still think ScreenFlow is one of the best screen recording apps out there, right up there with Camtasia. I enjoy using it, and I think you will too! It's worth buying if you want to create high-quality videos that impress your friends and family.

Are you looking for an app that can help you record your screen for school projects, tutorials, or just for fun? Then ScreenFlow is the perfect app for you! It's super easy to use, and it helps you create incredible videos that look professional.I love using ScreenFlow for all my screen recording needs because it works well and is very user-friendly.

Cons:

The only downside to ScreenFlow is that you have to pay to upgrade to the new version. You'll have to keep using the old version if you don't upgrade. And if you wait too long to upgrade, you might pay more for the new version.

If you want to capture video and software or websites in action with audio, this is a great product

Excellent experience I use it every time I need to record my screen and, did I mention (LOL), I can get the audio along with the moving images! Plus you can size the video when you export it and even record the screen on a smart phone, it is such a great tool.

Pros:

The ease of use and ability to capture audio with moving screen images (video, software and websites in action).

Cons:

The stop record keyboard sort cut is something weird like alt + Option + 2, it's awkward and takes some getting used to, but I eventually learned to memorize it and I don[t have much of a problem with it. I know that may sound petty, but, it eats up a lot of storage when and I'd rather have that be a little easier to do, or a more intuitive command.

Reasons for choosing ScreenFlow

Price and ease of use.

Reasons for switching to ScreenFlow

The ability to capture audio along with the screen made all the difference.
