Lensgo TC7 Teleprompter Review: Is it Worth the Hype for YouTubers & Presenters?

It's crazy to think this video was posted 19 months ago, but it's recently started getting a lot of attention, and for good reason! Using a teleprompter is one way to improve your on-camera presence, whether you're recording YouTube videos, presenting at work, or even just filming a vlog.

In this video,  I show you how to read a script while looking into the camera using a teleprompter. I'm using the Lensgo TC7 teleprompter, but there are many other options out there.

👉The main component of a teleprompter is the angled one-way mirror. It's a piece of reflective glass with a hole behind it for the camera to look through. You place your script in front of the glass, and you can see it while the camera only sees your face.

👉To attach the teleprompter to your camera, you'll need to choose the right size adapter ring for your lens. Then, you just slide the adapter into the slot behind the teleprompter and place the camera with the teleprompter onto your tripod.

👉You can also use a teleprompter with a smartphone or iPhone camera. Just pick the right size shading ring for your phone and push it into the adapter slot. Then, put your phone into the provided phone holder and adjust the position so that the camera sits nicely over the slot.

👉Once you have the hardware set up, you'll need a teleprompter app for your script. I use the TCQI app by Huangxi, but there are many other options available. Just paste your script into the app and give it a name. When you're ready to present, just tap on the script and press play. The mirror image script will start scrolling slowly. You can adjust the font size and scrolling speed in the settings.

👉There are a few cons to using this teleprompter. First, you can't see yourself while recording unless you have an assistant or an external monitor. Second, you can't use the ultra-wide camera lens unless you want to see the teleprompter app. And third, it takes a little practice to read the script smoothly.

I think a teleprompter is a great tool for anyone who wants to improve their on-camera presence. It can help you look more confident and polished, and it can also help you avoid ums and ers.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
