About ScreenFlow
ScreenFlow records the screen and then edits the recording on a timeline. Telestream says it works on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs and targets tutorials, training videos and presentations. The editor supports the usual timeline tools for trimming, layering and adding audio to a screen capture.
Because ScreenFlow is Mac-only, Windows users need another tool such as Camtasia or OBS. Its starting price of $199 is higher than free recorders, but it combines recording and editing in one app. It suits course creators and software demonstrations where editing matters more than live streaming.
