Getting started with Screenfly
Learn the basic Screenfly workflow from recording or importing a video through editing, baking, and sharing.
The Screenfly workflow
Screenfly helps you turn a real product flow into a polished demo video without installing a desktop editor or browser extension.
The basic workflow is:
- Record or import a source video.
- Open it in Studio as part of a project.
- Tighten the timeline with skip zones.
- Frame the product with crop and optional device frames.
- Add context with subtitles, voiceover, or music.
- Bake the finished video.
- Download or share the output.
Every editing step is optional. You can record a video, bake it immediately, or refine it in layers.
Library vs Studio
The Library is your asset inventory. It contains original recordings, imported videos, and baked outputs.
The Studio is where you edit a project. A project can include one or more Project files. Clicking a Project file makes it the active source for editing.
Use Library when you want to find or manage videos. Use Studio when you want to edit, bake, or share a finished demo.
What to create first
Start with one short demo. Pick a real product action, such as creating a project, publishing a page, inviting a teammate, or exporting a report.
Keep the first version simple:
- record the flow
- remove obvious pauses with skip zones
- add subtitles for the main steps
- bake to MP4
- create a share link
Once that works, you can add narration, music, GIF exports, or more detailed onboarding variants.
