Instagram Rolls Out In-App Teleprompter for Easier Video Creation
Instagram is testing a new in-app teleprompter feature within its Edits app. This feature aims to help creators deliver more natural and engaging video presentations.
App researcher Alessandro Paluzzi shared a preview of the in-stream rolling text display. This teleprompter will allow users to read their scripts directly on-screen while recording.
Users can customize the text speed and size for optimal readability. This eliminates the need for off-screen cue cards and promotes a smoother, more professional presentation.
Improved Video Engagement with Natural Presentation
This update could significantly improve video engagement. Studies show that incorporating a human presence in videos boosts audience connection. The teleprompter helps creators maintain eye contact and deliver their message more effectively.
Instagram confirmed this upcoming feature in an interview with Wired. The teleprompter is one of several new features being developed primarily for the Edits app. This strategy aims to enhance the app's value as a dedicated video creation platform.
AI-Powered Features Coming to Edits App
Instagram also plans to introduce AI-powered features to the Edits app. These include background generation and video translation capabilities. These tools will offer creators more creative options for video production.
While some AI elements are still under development, they are continuously improving. The combination of the teleprompter and AI features promises to empower creators with robust video editing tools within the Edits app.
