ScreenFlow is a more affordable option at $99, but it still packs a powerful punch. Like the other options, it also comes with a built-in video editor, so you don’t have to cross-platform your screen capture into another NLE.
ScreenFlow has an incredibly easy-to-use but powerful animation function. There’s not a steep learning curve in comparison with a compositor like After Effects. As you can see in the video, the animation introduction sets up within minutes. It’s elegant and smart, and it doesn’t require a textbook to learn.
ScreenFlow is Mac-only software, so if you’re looking for a cheap option for the PC, this isn’t your solution.
ScreenFlow can also capture recordings from an iOS device. This is incredibly useful if your educational content includes phone applications.
I think the best word to describe ScreenFlow is “easy.” It’s very much an A-to-B application with little to no fuss. You can even publish your screen capture straight from the software to Facebook, which is super cool if your audience is primarily based on your Facebook page and not YouTube.
