## Reviews

### "Screencast-O-Matic for teachers" — 5.0/5

> **Karen** | *6 September 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how easy it is to use screencast-o-matic\!  I don't have any special video editing skills, but have quickly learned to edit short screen recordings for review of questions for students.  This software is intuitive.  It is easy to record, to edit out parts, add in content, and make a usable product.
> 
> **Cons**: I've really not found anything I didn't like. I've gotten better at editing as I've used the product more, but it was easy to use with a little practice.  I didn't have any formal training and easily picked up how to use the program.
> 
> I like using screencast-o-matic for screen recordings\!  It works well and lets me use a stylus and on screen writing. It's easy to edit, download, and share.

### "ScreenPal is my Go To Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Mill** | *28 February 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I used ScreenPal when it was Screencast-O-Matic.  I learned about it from Youtubers that said making their videos was inexpensive and easy.  I've been using it for a long time.  I truly enjoy the ease of video editing, screen recording and link sharing.  Those are my favorite features.  Now that I know about the audio recording features, I will definitely be using those.  The simple pricing and low cost for such an easy-to-use, robust tool of this caliber couldn't be passed up.
> 
> **Cons**: One of my biggest cons would pertain to layering of edits made during video editing. &#10;For example, if I've cut one part, then overlay text next, then inserted a video, etc. I'm not able to just remove that first cut and keep the rest of the edits that I made subsequently after that.  Now granted, I'm not a professional video editor, so I'm not sure if that's something you can do anyway, however that's the biggest con.  I have to essentially start everything over if I mess up an edit later down the line.  Perhaps you all have some training on how to do this and I'm just not aware, but that's the only issue I would say.
> 
> A+ experience with ScreenPal.  I have recommended it to others and at least 2 people have purchased it from my recommendations and still use it.  I LOVE ScreenPal.  When I started using the price point was insanely low so it was a no-brainer to subscribe for several years in advance because this tool was just so awesome\!\!\!

### "Price has gone up nearly 500% Ridiculous" — 3.0/5

> **Lloyd** | *15 September 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is simple and easy to use and the editing is fast and intuitive.The instant link function is great
> 
> **Cons**: The new app keeps crashing and locking up, losing the work I have just done. The app won't minimise half the time.
> 
> Since screenpal have taken over it has been hit-and-miss. When it works it is fine. I use it to review work and mostly screen recording.  The thing that really has annoyed me is the price increase of nearly 500% I have been using the app for years but I wont pay 500% more per year for it.

### "My GOTO screen recorder" — 5.0/5

> **Geoffrey** | *12 January 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Screencast-O-Matic is like the powerpoint for video/screenshots.&#10;You can quickly and easily record your screen and/or your webcam... or make screenshots (without having the app crashing on you in the middle of it).&#10;Then edit what you need with their embedded editor.&#10;(I like that the mic signal is cleaned automatically within the editor to remove undesirable noises.)&#10;One more click and your final output is shared online within their included cloud service.&#10;If you chose to save the video to your computer, you won't need to re-compress it with handbrake to save space as it's already producing decently sized files (3 compression levels available).&#10;You can even configure it to save your work files in the cloud so that you can come back later to them from anywhere and continue where you left (or just cancel as many actions as you wish - all your history is saved along with your final output).&#10;I also like the fact that it comes with royalty free music we can use within our videos in a few clicks.&#10;I'm happy to pay monthly. The price is ridiculous and it's an awesome product that keeps being updated.
> 
> **Cons**: To my regret, they removed in V2 the "automatic documentation" feature which was available in V1.&#10;There is now the possibility to import an external video and edit it within the tool; unfortunately, some MP4 codecs have playback issues.&#10;That's about it for the cons.
> 
> I'm delighted with SOM.&#10;I've been using it since V1 to share tutorials with my team, record webinars, VSLs, online trainings and group meetings.

### "Essential tool for our video production" — 5.0/5

> **Marco** | *15 October 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I especially like the video editor, whose interface is uncommon, but really comfortable to use, different from any other tool I considered. And you have tons of options to create very sophisticated videos.
> 
> **Cons**: Right now, when you overlay an element to your video (such as another video or an image), you don't see its coordinates, so it's difficult to create 2 different videos with elements in the same spot. I'm also missing a quicker way to generate GIF previews in order to share videos via email. And finally, I'd like more options to embed videos to emails, because the current iFrame and oEmbed aren't correctly rendered by Gmail, for instance.
> 
> I'm using SOM to create all our company's screencasts, tutorials and short presentation videos. It's intuitive, fast, and does everything we need (with the above exceptions).
