Telestream

What do you like best?

The user interface is very clean and simple. The learning curve for Telestream's Screenflow product is relatively low. The price is very competitive compared to other editing software. If you want to add on additional items like transition packs and motion graphics, you can at an extra cost instead of it automatically being built into the cost of the software. The team there also has someone do demos on Facebook Live at least once a month. This helps to see the pros in action, explaining the features.

What do you dislike?

I dislike annual updates with charges for each update. I'd much rather the product was price accordingly and updated without extra charge to the customer.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Take the trial period and plug into the online Facebook community for ongoing tutorials. Be mindful that the annual upgrades are not free. However, weigh that against the fact that the software is less than a lot of other editing software on the market, in particular companies like Final Cut Pro.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Screen recording and video editing complexities. Telestream's Screenflow saves time trying to figure out editing software which tends to be complicated for beginner editors who just want basic editing capabilities.
