The teleprompter shows the script scrolling near the camera, so you can talk while looking at the lens. With the right settings, the text moves at your pace and the reading doesn't show up in the video.
Step by step
- Step 1:
On the recording screen, tap the Teleprompter button, in the top corner.
- Step 2:
Scroll down to Pace. Use Slower and Faster to set the text speed, in words per minute.
- Step 3:
Under Font size, tap Smaller font or Bigger font until you can read comfortably from the distance you'll be recording at.
- Step 4:
Under Column, choose Narrow or Wide. Narrow keeps the text close to the lens, so your gaze doesn't drift away from the camera.
- Step 5:
Turn on Rule of thirds grid to see framing lines over the camera. Mirror text is only for people using a teleprompter glass.
How to know it worked
When you close the settings, the script scrolls on the recording screen with the font, pace, and column you chose.
If something goes wrong
The text goes by too fast and I lose my place.
Lower the pace using Slower. On iPhone, you can also turn on Follow my voice, which makes the text move along as you speak.
