Script Studio helps you say it right the first time. Describe the video, let Vidler AI draft it, then read it from the teleprompter while you record. Open it from Write a script at the bottom of the New video panel, or select Write a script with Vidler AI in the recorder.

1. Brief

  1. Under What's the video about?, type rough notes: names, dates and the ask you want to make. Or select the mic and talk it through. You can also start from an example, such as Project update or Bug report.
  2. Optional: add an Audience, and pick a Tone, a Length (30 seconds to 3 minutes) and a Language.
  3. Choose a Format: Script for full sentences to read word for word, or Talking points for short cues.
  4. Select Generate script. It can take up to a minute.

Prefer your own words? Select Write it yourself.

2. Script

Edit freely. To change the draft, use the quick buttons such as Shorter, Simpler or Add a call to action, or type what to change in Tell Vidler AI what to change. Earlier drafts are kept under Versions.

Anything in square brackets, like [client name], is a placeholder. Replace it with the real detail so you don't read it out on camera. Select Open teleprompter when you're happy.

3. Teleprompter

Set the speed in words per minute (100 to 220), the text size and Mirror text. Select Start practice read, read the script aloud, then Finish practice read. Vidler tells you your pace and offers to set the teleprompter to it.

4. Record

Choose Screen and camera, Screen only or Camera only, add a Video title if you like, then select Record with this script. The recorder opens with your script loaded.

The teleprompter while you record

The teleprompter scrolls only while you're recording, and only you see it; it isn't recorded. Its controls let you pause scrolling, go back to the start, change the speed and text size, mirror the text, resize the panel or close it. With pop-out controls, the script scrolls in the pop-out window.

Turn on Scroll when I speak under Script in the setup panel and the teleprompter waits while you pause.

Your draft is kept in this browser until you select Start over on the brief.
