The prompter

Mirror mode and prompter rigs

How to flip the text and frame it for hardware prompters.

Pro4 minAll plans

By the end you will have: Glow working behind beam-splitter glass on a real prompter rig.

Steps

  1. 1

    Mount your device

    Place your phone or tablet under the beam-splitter glass.

  2. 2

    Turn mirror mode on

    Text flips horizontally so it reads correctly through the glass.

  3. 3

    Set size for the distance

    Rigs sit further away — go a size or two larger than usual.

  4. 4

    Record on the rig camera

    Use Glow purely as the prompter and capture on your main camera.

Tips

Keep the screen brightness high; the glass eats a lot of light.

Lock your device orientation so nothing rotates mid-take.
