Teleprompter
A convenient text overlay to read your script word by word. By default it is disabled. To use, enable Teleprompter in Settings.
You can type your script directly into the textfield, or you can paste into it.
Tap on the T↓ button to scroll down.
Resolution & FPS & Stabilization
These settings can be accessed in the camera config button at the top right of the red record button.
The app allows configuration of the individual back & front cameras, up to 4K resolution and 60 FPS. Depending on the iPhone model, certain configurations would not be supported, so you have to try out to know.
The same stabilization will be configured for both back & front cameras. Do note that Cinematic stabilization will have a lag in the preview video. This lag will only be experienced during recording in the live preview video, but will NOT have any lag (or de-sync) in the recorded video file.
