2.   Log in to the auto cue PC. Go to Google Chrome and search for 'Cue Prompter'. Cue Prompter is a free easy-to-use teleprompter service. The browser works like a teleprompter, with no extra software or experience needed.

 

3.   Open the document you want to copy your script from. Copy your text and paste it into Cue Prompter. Click Start new prompter.

  • Change the text colour to yellow
  • Set the size to 95px

Test the speed by reading out loud. Adjust based on your reading and speaking pace - typically, speeds between 24 and 28 are used in our green screen studios. Adjust the slider or alternatively use the arrow keys on the keyboard to adjust the speed up and down. The space bar will pause the text.
