Screen recording and editing made simple

ScreenFlow, developed by Telestream Inc., is a combined screen recorder and video editor designed for users who want to create polished video content with minimal effort. From tutorials and presentations to marketing materials, it delivers both ease of use and professional-grade results in a single package.

ScreenFlow supports iPhone and iPad screen capture, animated GIF/APNG export, streamlined media management, closed captioning, and direct publishing to social platforms or the cloud, making it versatile for educators, marketers, trainers, developers, and content creators alike. This platform is a premium tool that offers a free trial.

Intuitive recording and editing features

ScreenFlow keeps the recording process straightforward. Users can capture the entire screen, specific windows, or external video sources, while simultaneously recording system audio and microphones. A small overlay window makes starting or managing recordings quick, particularly useful for live sessions or instructional content. It empowers everyone—from educators and corporate teams to marketers, trainers, content creators, and developers—to create professional, engaging videos for teaching, training, promotion, and storytelling.

This platform provides powerful tools to make creating software tutorials faster and easier, with customizable styles and templates for efficient editing. Its built-in stock media library and professional animations let users enhance videos with images, audio, motion graphics, and animated titles directly within their projects. It also allows creating animated GIFs and APNGs, organizing projects with advanced media management, adding closed captions, and exporting high-quality videos to multiple platforms with ease.

What sets this tool apart is its built-in editor. The timeline supports drag-and-drop editing, trimming, and multi-track adjustments. Features like pan-and-zoom, picture-in-picture overlays, annotations, and transitions add flexibility, while waveform visualization makes audio edits more precise. However, the trial version adds watermarks to exported videos and can be resource-intensive on older Mac hardware. Additionally, the stock media library and additional features require a separate purchase.

    Rating. I'd say everything is good except the long exporting and that dang "Demo Mode" watermark. How about them making another watermark like Screencast-O-Matic's version. Cons: Fast exportingGet rid of that watermark.

    Version 6.0 crashes with run time errors and deletes your video's content. Version 6.0 crashes with run time errors and deletes the content of your videos while leaving the shell. That means you end up with a video file with no video and no audio content. BEWARE of upgrading to Version 6. If you want your work destroyed with no possibility of rescuing it after you spend hours recording and editing a video, this is an awesome update for you. AVOID VERSION 6.0. Pros: NOTHING Cons: It doesn't work properly

    Highest end video capture and editing. I've been using ScreenFlow for about four years now and I couldn't live without it.But I'm surprised at the comment that there's no way to add text to the screencasts. There's a whole section for doing that. Pros: Speed of how movies are saved before exportingVery simple, yet sophisticated tools Cons: No way to batch process a bunch of screen flow filesEasier way to crop screen

    Bestshareware. It will record everything from camera to microphone audio or speaker audio.It is so great!That is the software that I am looking for,I prefer to use it!

    Screen Flow is buggy. There seems to be a recurring problem with Screen Flow. It consistently looses files, which causes me to lose the entire video itself. I keep all of my files in the same spot. Now it's a constant race to publish before the files disappear. I'm not the only one with this issue; apparently there are others who have the same problem.
