ScreenFlow keyboard shortcuts

From Telestream, ScreenFlow is purpose-built to record and edit screencasts. It is one of the leading applications in the video production category.

Efficient ScreenFlow workflows rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts. Every second saved on navigation adds up over the course of a project.

ScreenFlow is a macOS-exclusive tool, and its keyboard shortcuts are designed with that platform's conventions in mind.
