Teleprompter

Rundown Creator's built-in, web-based teleprompter turns almost any desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile-device into a teleprompter. It pulls its content directly from your rundowns and scripts, and updates in real-time as changes are made.

How it works

1. On the rundown page, click on the title/date of your rundown to bring up the rundown menu (shown below).

2. Click on the "Teleprompter" link.

3. When using a desktop or laptop computer, use the scroll wheel on your mouse, your trackpad, or the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard to change the speed/direction of the text. When using a tablet or mobile-device, simply scroll using your finger, like you would with any other web page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I adjust the font size?

Click on the "settings" button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. That'll bring up a dialog box that allows you to adjust the font size, color, and more.

Can I make the teleprompter fullscreen?

It depends on what operating system/web browser you're using. Chrome, for example, has a "presentation mode," which you can activate from the View menu. Safari, when run on Macs with Lion (10.7) or higher, has a similar full screen mode, which can also be activated from the View menu. Since things vary so much from browser-to-browser and operating system to operating system, our advice is to simply look in the View menu on your web browser. It might have a full screen mode feature. If it doesn't, you might be able to hide unnecessary toolbars instead.

Can I edit a script in the teleprompter?

Yes, just double-click on the script. That'll bring up the Script Editor, which you can use to make changes to it.
