Improve your script with flawless timing on every word
Kapwing brings an online teleprompter straight to your fingertips, allowing you to achieve pristine delivery in your videos. Once you're on the Record Camera feature, select the 'Scan' button to the right of the aspect ratio and it will activate our built-in teleprompter. Type in your text and customize the experience to match your needs — adjust the text size to suit your reading comfort and set the scroll speed to align with your speaking pace. By taking the guesswork out of timing, Kapwing’s teleprompter helps you focus on connecting with your audience, ensuring that your message is delivered clearly and confidently.
Tailor-made aspect ratios to save time on social media delivery
Kapwing understands that after you've finished recording a video, you're going to want to upload the content to various social media feeds. Before launching the Video Recorder, you can select from four tailor-made aspect ratios that fit YouTube, TikTok (Reels/Shorts), and Instagram (Square/Portrait). From there, your new video will be shot in a custom ratio that simplifies the task of posting on social from your Mac, or any other computer or laptop. It's a streamlined two-step process of recording and sharing that allows you to focus on creativity rather than technical details.
