ScreenFlow 5 App Reviews

OS X 10.11 MacPro 2008 2x 2.8 Ghz Quad Cores Sofar Screenflow is nice and easy to use if with OS X 10.11 specifically processing time would not be such an issue. OS X 10.10 is around 50% faster. I have a User CPU load of 25% to 36% that means a one hour movie can take up to 2 hours to export. I would say that with an 8 core MacPro is not really usable at all. Since 3 weeks I am contact via teach support and in case they cannot identify the issue I will see if I can get a refund. I am not sure whos fault it is Apple or Telestream but for me this program is not usable anymore because of the time it takes to process data.

I had to buy Version 5, because I needed a job finished and Version 4 no longer worked with my computer’s audio. Install driver. Install diver. Reboot. Install driver. Look for more instructuctions and help and ScreenFlow’s web site says to remove Version 4 and reinstall the app. But the Version 4 app is no longer there and you can not download it. Kind of like they broke something on your computer and then stole the tool you PAID for before. Their “support” ripped me off. The program was ok. If the previous version was not taken from me against my will, I would give them higher ratings. Perhaps it would be better to sue these people in Small Claims Court and make them and their attorney travel to my State. Unhappy! :-(

I love the intuitiveness of this app. It’s very easy to get started and there’s so many smarts packed into it. Anybody who wants to go beyond just doing a full screen recording like QuickTime, you can’t go wrong with this app. It makes annotating, zooming, manipulating and editing just so much easier.

Been using Screenflow for our YouTube Lets Play show; if it werent for Screenflow, our show wouldnt be possible. No other software weve tried for editing have Screenflows intuitive interface, drag-and-drop elements and real-time rendering. Everything works like butter. There are a few things wed love to see improved in future. • There is no linear animation curve; the "default" option is just a subtler "ease-in-ease-out" that speeds up slightly at the start and slows down again at the end. • Nesting clips within nested clips has unpredictable results; sometimes animations work and sometimes they dont, and its not always apparent what will work. It works better than it did in 4 (which was not at all), and for basic use thats fine, but in our work we sometimes have to render a clip and then reimport it to work with it, which increases the filesize significantly. • It would be fantastic if it were possible to trim the source files down to keep filesizes low. Heres a usage scenario we ran into: we recorded about an hour and a half of gameplay, complete with audio, and wound up with a 5GB source file. That file is getting split into two episodes, and the last third of it are getting re-recorded so theyre not needed. Every time Screenflow tries to save the file, because its so huge, it takes upwards of 30-60 seconds. Other, smaller episodes are much quicker to save (nearly instantaneous), so being able to split the source into two separate, smaller files would be amazing. • Currently Screenflow appears to make a copy of every asset you import into the file, which isnt very resource-friendly. It would be nice if Screenflow offered at least the option to refer to an external file instead. This would also make updating our assets a lot simpler, as we could just save over the referenced file. These are all little niggles and most of them revolve around VERY advanced usage scenarios. I cant recommend this software highly enough.

This software is filled with bugs, it’s impossible to get serious work done with it. Constant crashes, files cannot be saved properly, etc, etc. Bought it & was delighted with the interface, however after a couple of days of using it, it’s clear it’s completely unreliable & impossible to work with.

I have never had a program that crashes my Mac, except this one. When you Google the problem, it’s something the software manufacturer has had reported continually.

As a screenflow 4 customer I was pretty upset to see that we have to PAY AGAIN just to get the updates it needs from 4.5 to 5.0. I reluctantly paid for 5.0 and it doesn’t even work. The money hungry scum at ScreenFlow were too eager to take your money instead of doing the proper testing first. DO NOT BUY THIS AND CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH A HORRIBLE COMPANY! Won’t even open, lazy programmers, greedy company, worthless product. If you need to record your screen just use quicktime and open photobooth to record your face if you need to.

After a few minutes of editing the application crashes and quits, sometimes without giving me the time to SAVE my work. The last time it did it it gave me this error message -[__NSCFConstantString removeFromSuperlayer]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10b082dc0 I can’t contact support because they need a serial number and mine doesn’t have it. My operating system is El Capitan and I have a brand new iMac loaded with RAM and flash, so it’s definitely not my computer. I hope they can fix this problem soon because this is making my work impossible. And it’s making me wish for my money back because the app is unusable.

I love this software. It’s just beautiful and I love how it works. I love the editing for this software. It’s very good. I will use this for a long time.

Initially rated this 1 stars because of an Audio Wave redrawing issue. Contacted their support and got a fast and detailed response on how to fix the problem. It works like a charm now! Definitely worth the $99 dollars. For anyone who also encounters the audio issue make sure you apply “Smooth Audio Levels” an “Remove background noise” AFTER cutting the media!

I love ScreenFlow but when I’m editing after like 5 sec it freezes and it says ScreenFlow not responding Apple please fix this
