Questions and answers

  • What is a .SCREENFLOW file and what is its purpose?

    A .SCREENFLOW file is a file format used by the screen recording and video editing software called ScreenFlow.

    The purpose of a .SCREENFLOW file is to store a project created in ScreenFlow, which includes all the recorded screen footage, audio, video clips, and editing settings. It preserves the timeline, transitions, annotations, effects, and other elements of the project.

    By saving the project as a .SCREENFLOW file, users can easily reopen and continue editing their screen recordings, making changes, adding or removing elements, and exporting the final video in various formats. It allows for non-destructive editing, meaning the original media files are not modified, and the project can be revisited and modified at any time.

  • How can I open a .SCREENFLOW file on my computer?

    To open a .SCREENFLOW file on your computer, you can follow these steps:

    1. Ensure that you have the appropriate software installed: .SCREENFLOW files are created using the ScreenFlow application, which is available for macOS. If you are using a Windows computer, you won't be able to open .SCREENFLOW files natively.
    2. If you have a Mac, make sure you have the ScreenFlow application installed on your computer. If not, you can download it from the Telestream website or the Mac App Store.
    3. Once you have ScreenFlow installed, locate the .SCREENFLOW file on your computer. You can typically find it in the folder where you saved it or in your Downloads folder.
    4. Double-click on the .SCREENFLOW file, and it should automatically open in the ScreenFlow application. If it doesn't open, you can try right-clicking on the file and selecting "Open with" and choose ScreenFlow from the list of available applications.
    5. ScreenFlow will launch and load the .SCREENFLOW file, allowing you to view and edit the recorded screen capture or video project.

    Note: If you don't have access to a Mac or the ScreenFlow application, you may need to ask the file's creator to export the project to a different format that is compatible with other video editing software or find alternative software that supports .SCREENFLOW files on your operating system.

  • Are there any specific software or applications required to view and access the content of a .SCREENFLOW file?
