Teleprompter Mode
Scrolling Script Overlay for Narration Recording
Teleprompter mode places a scrolling script overlay on the video preview while you record narration. Your text moves up the screen at a steady pace so you always know what to say next, and the video plays underneath so you can time your delivery to match the visuals. No memorizing, no glancing at notes off-screen.
How to Use
Write or paste your script
Before enabling the teleprompter, you need a script. You can type one directly, paste text from another app, or generate a narration script using AI Story Mode.
Enable the teleprompter
Open the narration recording panel and turn on the teleprompter toggle. Your script text appears as a semi-transparent overlay on the video preview.
Start recording
Tap the record button. The video plays back and the script begins scrolling automatically. Read along at your natural pace while watching the footage underneath the text.
Stop and review
Tap stop when you finish. Play back the recording to hear how your narration sounds over the video. Re-record any section that needs another take.
Adjustable Settings
You can customize the teleprompter to match your reading style and comfort:
- Scroll speed — controls how fast the text moves. Increase it if you read quickly, decrease it if you prefer a more deliberate pace. The goal is for the text to keep up with your natural speaking speed without rushing or lagging behind.
- Text size — makes the script easier to read at a distance. Larger text means fewer lines visible at once, so find the balance between readability and context.
- Background opacity — adjusts how transparent the text overlay is. Lower opacity lets more of the video show through; higher opacity makes the text easier to read against busy footage.
Video Plays Underneath
The teleprompter overlays your script on top of the live video preview, so you can see both at the same time. This lets you time your delivery to match what is happening on screen — pause for a dramatic shot, speed up during a montage, or emphasize a key moment as it appears.
When to Use It
- Scripted narration — when you have a prepared script and want to deliver it accurately without stumbling
- Consistent delivery across takes — re-recording a section is easier when you can read the exact same words each time
- Long narration — for projects with several minutes of voiceover, the teleprompter eliminates the need to memorize large blocks of text
