YOUR FIRST TAKE, STEP BY STEP.

A little guidance.
Then you’re rolling.

From a blank script to a video you can share.
Follow the steps on your Mac or Windows PC.

BEFORE YOU START

Have your script ready, check your camera and microphone, and choose a quiet place to record.

01
START WITH THE WORDS YOU WANT TO SAY.

Prepare your script.

Paste a script you already have or write a short one. Keep each paragraph focused on one idea and read the opening out loud before you record.

SMALL TIP

A script you can say comfortably is easier to follow than a paragraph written only to be read.

02
SHOW THE RIGHT PART OF YOUR STORY.

Choose your recording setup.

Choose screen, camera, or both for your recording. Prepare the window you want to show and check the camera and microphone you intend to use.

The recording setup: Screen + cam mode, a window picked as the source, the camera bubble in the corner, the microphone and the prompter preview
SMALL TIP

Make a test before filming anything long. Check that unrelated windows and private information are outside the recording area.

03
KEEP YOUR ATTENTION WHERE IT MATTERS.

Put your words near the lens.

Place the teleprompter close to your camera. Adjust the text so you can read it comfortably, then speak a few lines to check the voice-scrolling pace.

SMALL TIP

Look toward the lens as you read. If a line is difficult to say, change the wording before starting the full take.

04
A FEW SENTENCES TELL YOU A LOT.

Make a short test take.

Record a few sentences, pause, then finish your thought. Play the clip back and check the picture, audio, and whether the script stays out of the final recording.

SMALL TIP

Adjust one thing at a time. A short test makes it easier to see what an adjustment actually changed.

05
KEEP WHAT HELPS THE STORY.

Finish and review.

Record your full take, then review it. Trim the beginning and ending, check any captions you add, and export your finished MP4.

SMALL TIP

Watch the exported video once before sharing it. Check that the full message is there and that captions match what you said.
