- Do you want to create professional videos to promote your products and services?
- Do you want to learn how to quickly and easily edit your videos?
- Do you want to know how to add elements to your videos that grab viewers attention?
One of the biggest problems when creating videos is that you’ll make a ton of mistakes. If you want your video to look professional you’ll need to remove these mistakes using video editing software.
For example if you’re making a talking head video you’ll undoubtedly stutter over some words which makes the video harder to watch. This can easily be resolved by editing the video using ScreenFlow video editing software.
Why use Screenflow?
In the early days of creating videos I used Windows Movie Maker to edit all my videos however I soon realized it lacked many features for producing professional videos such as zooming in on objects or people, recording my computer screen and importing video clips to spruce up the content.
Here are the 3 main benefits for using ScreenFlow
- Saves time
You can easily import a video clip shot from your iPhone (or video camera) and quickly edit out the mistakes plus add new elements (ie images, music, text) then upload it to YouTube within the software. - Keep projects organized and clutter-free
Nested timelines enables you to merge multiple elements into a single clip on your timeline. Screenflow’s media library organization tools allows you to easily find and add clips to your videos. - Create effects that capture viewer’s attention
Boring videos lose viewers attention. ScreenFlow enables you to create stunning effects such as zooming in on objects or making them fly in from the side. You can also use various filters to modify the color of your videos.
So how can you quickly and easily learn how to use all the features of ScreenFlow without going crazy?
The solution is ScreenFlow Hero

Disadvantage of ScreenFlow Hero
The only disadvantage I can think of for not getting ScreenFlow Hero is that it only works on the MAC so PC users are out of luck. Since my initial videos looked unprofessional using Windows Movie Maker I decided to purchase a Mac Book Air specifically for creating videos. I began using iMovie that was included with the purchase but soon realized it had many limitations so I invested in ScreenFlow and have never looked back.
My recommendation
If you want to quickly and easily learn how to edit your videos so they look professional and captivate viewers attention to generate more leads and sales, I highly purchasing a copy of ScreenFlow Hero. It’s only a one time investment of $97.00 and Jules Watkins constantly adds new video tutorials to the membership area.
