#PROPROMPTER 4 INSTALL#
Can I install my software on more than one machine?
#PROPROMPTER 4 WINDOWS#
For Demo Videos on YouTube – Windows and Mac. We built our software for ease of use, and messing around with screen resolutions is complicated, so we utilize a comparable space on the operator screen. A lot of competitive products make you switch screen resolutions on your operator screen (usually a laptop) to match the screen resolution that is being displayed on the teleprompter screen. Owners of previous versions should contact or call 41 for upgrades.” Why is there a blank space at the right and/or bottom of the operator screen when I use dual screen mode?
#PROPROMPTER 4 UPGRADE#
Upgrading will save you money over simply purchasing version 4 alone.” Should read “Can you upgrade from a previous version? Yes, you can upgrade from version 5 of Script-Q or ProPrompter to version 6 of Script-Q from the website. Can you upgrade from Script-Q version 2, 3 or 4 to version 5? Script-Q works on OS X 10.13 (High Sierra) 10.14 (Mojave) 10.15 (Catalina) and 11 (Big Sur).
#PROPROMPTER 4 SERIAL#
You will just need to install the software on your new computer and enter the serial # to use Script-Q.
#PROPROMPTER 4 SERIAL NUMBERS#
All of our serial numbers work on both Mac and Windows Installations. I’ve switched from using a Windows computer to a Mac (or a Mac to a Windows computer). If you can get a picture from your Windows or OSX-based computer to the prompter screen, Script-Q will work with it. Script-Q works with most standard prompting equipment. Will Script-Q software work with my existing teleprompter hardware? Script-Q V6 is designed to run on Catalina and subsequent 64 releases of OS X. Lower cost, upgrade pricing is available to owners of previous versions of the software. Catalina requires that all software that runs on it be 64 bit. I just installed OS X 10.15 (Catalina). Will your software work with it? Bring the camera closer, or let the text mover a few inches further from the lens, and the sightline is less acceptable.UPDATE & FIXES What platforms does Script-Q V.6 run on? It's all a matter of geometry - if ALL the text is VERY close to the lens, then you get away with it nicely if the camera is far enough from the subject that the difference in sightline is only a degree or two. One additional note - it works a lot better if the talent has excellent vision - and the camera can be further away while keeping the text small. If I try to do cue cards and someone moving them, I will most likely not get what I would call an acceptable eyeline. Obviously there's no scrolling going on, so the quantity of the text for each take is limited. We've done this a number of times, and print with 14pt narrow text and minimal line spacing, no more than about 5" wide. After failed initial attempts to get the talent to memorize what they needed to say, we took to taping their lines to a french flag (just above the lens) and to the bottom for the lens shade (for below the lens.) Though the eyelines aren't dead-on, they are acceptable. It may be a bit of a walk to get to the location, so we need to go light. That said, I have one client who has non-actors doing little stand-ups in remote exterior terrains (no amenities such as power or roads nearby), usually hand-held. If you need to be dead-on into the lens, then you need to be shooting through glass and using a prompter. I guess it depends what you mean by acceptable. Maybe it's been done and someone has a link? Personally I'd avoid anything that doesn't give you speed control using a mouse or external keypad, since you really want to be able to control it from several feet away.Ĭan you ever get acceptable results with the subject reading from cards (close to the lens) compared to a prompter? I think a test is in order. Though Prompt! is a little clunky on the editing side, I've been very happy with it, and considering its cost keeping it on the laptop has been a no-brainer. It's a whole lot better than when someone comes in with a pile of cue cards, which typically result in a lot of extraneous eye movement and noise switching pages. (If they can't get through the first sentence in their first 10 tries, that's a pretty clear indication that they need help.) I usually prop the laptop just below the camera lens and control the prompter software using a mouse. Though I'll normally hire a prompter person (with gear) when I know I'll need a prompter, having something on my laptop has been incredibly helpful on numerous occasions, particularly when someone comes in with a complicated sound bite and can't seem to get it straight. A few years back I bought an inexpensive prompter program called PROMPT! from - ready made video
