About the mobile teleprompter (iOS)

This feature is available on the Create app for iOS.

The teleprompter on the Create app for iOS lets you create a script and have it appear on your screen while you record your video, allowing you to read your dialogue. The script will not be visible in the final video. 

The teleprompter is made up of clips. Each clip can have a script added that will scroll across the screen as you record. 

How to set up your teleprompter:

You can set up a teleprompter from the home screen of the Create mobile app.

To set up the teleprompter: 

    1. Select Record clips from the homescreen.
      The homescreen of the Create app for iOS. The options on the homescreen are: Start from Scratch, Record Clips, Get a Quick Video, and Pick a Template.
    2. Select the teleprompter button to open the teleprompter menu.
      The 'Record Clips' screen. It shows a live view of what is seen through the camera. At the bottom of the screen is a record button, indicated by an outlined red circle with a white circle in the middle. Below this, in the footer, are three buttons: the clip manager button (a square with a plus-sign), the teleprompter button (a square with dashes and dots), and the flip camera button (two arrows shaped in a circle).
    3. Type out your script in the text box under the clip. If you'd like to break up your script into multiple clips, select  + New Clip to add a new clip to your teleprompter. 
      The teleprompter screen. At the top of the screen is a cancel button, the 'Teleprompter' header, and a Save button. Below the header is the script for the clips. Above each script for the clip, there is the name of the clip and its runtime. To the right of the clip, there is a button with three dots in a horizontal line for an overflow menu. At the bottom of the screen is a button labeled '+ New clip'.
    4. When you have finished adding your clips, select Save to return to the record screen.

As you add your script, you can see the estimated runtime of each clip based on the volume of text and the speed that it scrolls.
đź’ˇTip: If you would like to delete a clip, select the â‹Ż icon at the end of the row.
