Live Updates
Whether your text in the Teleprompter will update automatically if edits or changes are made by other device over the Cloud.
When Live Updates
is enabled, the text in your Teleprompter will automatically update if any other device signed in to your account makes edits or changes to this script, including changes made on CloudPrompter.com.
For Live Updates to function, you must have Cloud Sync enabled on your account.
Disable Live Updates
to prevent destructive changes to your script while you have it open in the Teleprompter. When disabled, changes made by another device will only apply the next time you open this script.
Show Clocks
Show or hide the Elapsed and Remaining clocks are visible above the Teleprompter.
Disable Show Clocks
to hide the Elapsed and Remaining clocks.
Window Settings Mac Only
Customise how the Teleprompter window looks and behaves on Mac, including Transparent Window and Floating Window options.
Mirroring
These options allow you to reverse or ‘flip’ the text in the Teleprompter, so that the text is readable when reflected though a glass Teleprompter.
- Use the option to flip the text vertically.
- Use the option to flip the text horizontally.
When using a standard on-camera Teleprompter setup, we recommend using the option to flip the text vertically. This allows the controls to be easily accessed on the outside edge of your device.
Persist While Editing
Enable Persist While Editing
option to keep the Teleprompter text mirrored/reversed even while making edits to your script.
External Display Mode iPhone and iPad Only
Show a clean feed of the Teleprompter text on a display connected to your device, such as a TV or monitor.
Tap to Scroll
Tap anywhere on your device to start or stop the Teleprompter scrolling, rather than having to tap the START
button.
Hide Controls While Scrolling
Make all of the on-screen controls hidden when the Teleprompter text is scrolling.
Dragging Stops Scrolling
Dragging the Teleprompter text manually will interrupt the Teleprompter scrolling.
- When enabled, dragging or scrolling the text manually will automatically stop the Teleprompter scrolling.
- When disabled, dragging or scrolling the text manually will not interrupt the Teleprompter scrolling, scrolling will resume when you’re finished dragging or scrolling, from the new position.
Timed Scrolling
Set a specific amount of time for your script to scroll from start to finish.
For example, with Timed Scrolling
enabled, you can select 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The scroll speed will automatically be calculated and set so that your script will scroll from start to finish in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
This is a good alternative to manually adjusting the scroll speed if you have a specific time goal for your script.
If you manually adjust the scroll speed when Timed Scrolling
was enabled, Timed Scrolling
will automatically be disabled and your new scroll speed will be active.
Scroll Mode
Changes how the Teleprompter text will scroll.
Continuous
Continuous
is the default mode. Text will scroll smoothly and continuously at your set scroll speed, from start to finish. You can start or stop the scrolling at any point.
Paging
Paging
will advance your script in a series of distinct movements, one ‘page’ at a time. Similar to advancing pages in a PDF or presentation. A ‘page’ id determined by the size of your display or window, the text will advance by one full movement without skipping over any text.
Countdown timer
Adds a countdown before scrolling will begin. Drag the slider upwards to enable a countdown up to 30 seconds.
Video recording iPhone and iPad Only
