Great for: • Short-form and social media videos • Vlogs and content creation • Interviews and recorded responses • Presentations and work reports • Speeches and informational videos • Lessons, tutorials, and educational content Key Features Voice Follow Follows your speaking progress through the script for a more natural prompting experience. Multiple Prompting Modes Choose Voice Follow, fixed-speed scrolling, or manual control to suit different recording situations. Camera-Side Prompting In landscape recording, position the prompt closer to the camera side to help reduce noticeable eye movement away from the lens. Adjustable Prompt Area Adjust the script display to suit your recording orientation and reading preference. Record Directly in the App Read your script and record your video without switching between a teleprompter and the Camera app. Quick Video Trim Adjust the beginning and end of a recording, preview the selected range, and save a trimmed copy while keeping the original recording.
