-- How To Use a Teleprompter for Videos! --

Look in any serious news room or production studio, and a teleprompter will be front and center. Why? Because it can make your job on camera SO much easier.

Regardless of what brand you use (or whether you build one yourself using one of the many DIY videos on YouTube), a Teleprompter can help you nail your shot faster and film in less takes.

If used properly, you can really amp up the quality of your presentation. Not only that, shooting in less takes means less footage, and less footage means faster editing!

As always, there are a few key things to remember when using a Teleprompter to get the best results, and they’re not always right for every video or style. In this video we run through my tips on how to use a teleprompter for the best results in your videos!

I am finding your videos very useful I was reading an intro to my series, then thought of a telepromter, but you pointed out to have a list of key points. I am going to re-do my intro segment. I have been viewing your other videos. You aren't pushing some companies product and showing some really good practical advice.

Loved this vid! Perhaps if you could tell us how to actually set up an iPad or phablet as a prompter. Many thanks. Love your channel as always.

Great tips about narrowing the lines of scrolling text, and increasing the distance if possible, as ways to prevent the "darting eyes" effect. Thanks.

Love your videos Justin, very informative. Where would you suggest is the ideal spot to put a teleprompter in relation to the camera?

Great tips man! what about the height of the camera compare to the character? what would you do as a general rule, would you put it at the same height as the character eyes, lower or higher? keep up the good work, thanks!

Hey Justin, thanks for putting this together. Question - do you have a recommended setup if you're going to use an ipad for the teleprompter, and an iphone as the camera? If so, what mount(s) do you like and how would you use the mounts? Thanks!

Hi, I love your video. Please help me which teleprompter App is required for Arabic and Urdu languages. In these languages we write from right to left. Please help me as I consider you to be my teacher.

Hi Justin,
great video. What do you think about using a powerpoint presentation with a remote control? That keeps you talking conversational instead of reading, as you only type some keywords in bullet points on each slide. You can mirror-flip the slides with ppt-mirror and you are ready to go....?
