The Multimedia Team uses iPads and the Promptsmart Pro app for teleprompted videos. When working with scripts our team will be using to film videos, you will need to create a folder for the specific course you are working on using the eCampusvideo Google Drive. This is necessary in order for us to be able to more easily bulk import scripts. See Example scripts folder.
Best practices
one script per video
120 words = approx 1 min
scripts should be a max 700 words or 5 mins per video
create and share scripts for courses by making a copy of the eCampusvideo Template scripts folder

The easiest way to work with teleprompted scripts is by utilizing 2 iPads—one iPad that will sit in the stand using the Promptsmart Pro app (A) and one iPad using the Promptsmart Remote Control app (B). You can still utilize voice tracking from A and follow along using B. Should you need to backup at any time you can use B remotely to scroll to the appropriate script location.
