Here’s our easy guide to the questions you should ask….now click on to find out the answers!
Autocue Teleprompter Free
It’s not true for all teleprompters, but Autocue Starter Series prompters use a fully adjustable riser system that support all cameras up to ENG size. They also include adjustment in the hood of the prompter allowing you to position the lens of the camera centrally in the glass to get direct eye contact from talent while they read the script. So with Starter Series prompters your main consideration will be whether your support system (fluid head, tripod, etc.) has the capacity to hold the weight of the prompter you have selected.
The second fundamental factor in your search for a teleprompter is the distance from the talent to the camera. Get something too small, and it will be hard to read. Get something too big, and the audience will be able to see the talent’s eyes scan across the screen. A great rule of thumb is one inch per foot. If the talent is 12 feet away, then you should get a 12” screen on your prompter.

You might consider going with a plexi beamsplitter if your teleprompter is going to be traveling all the time, but plexi will cloud and even become discoloured over time so Autocue Starter Series only use the high quality glass that’s included with our broadcast teleprompters. We recommend using a case to protect your investment on your travels. And remember iPad Prompters are a great solution for difficult or unknown locations because they don’t need a constant power supply.
As you will know by now, QStart can be controlled by a keyboard or mouse. For regular prompting we’d recommend treating your operator to a more ergonomic scroll wheel controller like the ShuttleXpress. We also suggest considering if it will improve your workflow to purchase one of our talent controllers, like the great value wireless mouse hand scroll control.
All Starter Series teleprompters come with MAC and Windows software included, giving you the ultimate flexibility.
You might find that you still need some feedback and information to help make that final decision. We have the widest range and knowledge of prompters in the world, with over 100,000 users of our systems worldwide – so always feel free to contact us for advice, we’re here to help!

READY? START TELEPROMPTING!
ABOUT US: And now, a message from our sponsors--us! A lot of you have been asking how I've recorded hundreds of YouTube videos. Right now, I’m standing in front of a chromakey backdrop. By combining a green screen with a teleprompter, I’m able to script all my lines in advance, adding the visuals in post processing.
I'm going to let you in on a secret: a teleprompter is simply a beamsplitter mirror that displays my script in front of a camera. Using a teleprompter allows me to thoroughly research detailed scripts in advance and deliver them effortlessly.
The magic is in the highly transparent mirror, which provides tint-free visibility for my camera to record through. Because my script is in front of the camera lens, I can keep direct eye contact with my audience.
Hi, I'm Krista, videographer, actress, and anything else I want to be when using my teleprompter! I made this program to help you deliver your lines quickly and confidently on camera.
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful for sharing your message with the world!
