Have you entered to win $25 and started getting free highlights and compilations from Sizzle.gg here, yet? ► bit.ly/SenpaiSizzlegg
Look at you, becoming an artiste with the dramatic opening! Can't wait to see where your journey in production values takes you.
don't think the link is working, just redirects to the Sizzle homepage
I have entered another time, when there was no chance to win the $ 25 and feel a bit cheated now :D
Also, I wish it had some more not shooter games ^^
Can we just appreciate how beautiful and well crafted that whole intro sequence was 👌🙏
Getting it perfect took like 5 hours 🫠
@@Senpai it was worth it! Fantastic end result!
ONG
dude yes! omg that was fantastic
It was very MKBHD-esque and it was awesome!
Three years ago I rigged up a teleprompter for Zoom calls / Skype interviews, specifically so I could see the person I was talking to while also looking directly into the camera, and at the time I searched TH-cam to see if anyone else had been using the same setup, and I found literally only ONE video, and the guy was just as excited as I was to have thought of the idea. It is a game changer for interviews and calls. I almost wish Elgado didn't make this, cuz now everyone is going to be doing it!
Ha, me too!
Mark Dice is in da house!!!
I got the Glide Gear TMP100 on Amazon and use SpaceDesk on an old Android phone. Since SpaceDesk makes that Android phone a wireless monitor for my PC I just run the Teleprompter Pro and control it with a mouse.
Shouldn't you be happy that Elgato is doing it so that everyone can use it?
... kind of a shitty attitude foreal
What monitor did you use? Can it flip the screen so I'm not looking in the reverse?
As a podcaster, I use a teleprompter for making the connection feel more real for the guest and viewer. They are also amazing for making ads and other content in one take which I love as a busy dad and husband who doesn't have hours to make a single piece of content. I'm super pumped for this!
It's dope how you show what you're doing while you're doing it. Super helpful. Thanks!
The problem with a larger teleprompter (as in your suggestion for a "full size monitor" version) is that if you read text from it, your eyes will very obviously be darting left-and-right, which honestly makes the reader look like an idiot. It helps to put the monitor/teleprompter (and camera) farther away, but that puts you back to the problem of trying to read it, as well as making it hard to use a webcam which is designed to be up close. The Elgato Prompter looks to be about the right size: Big enough to read clearly, narrow enough so your eyes won't be jumping around. I'd say Elgato did their usual good job of thinking it through for real-life use. Of course a "Prompter XL" would be fine for the "eye contact" illusion in meetings where you're not actually reading rows of text.
Irrespective of the size of the screen, when using it as a teleprompter, you can limit the width of the text to, say, the middle third of the screen, to avoid the problem with your eyes scanning. Too much text on the screen at once makes it too easy to lose your place, anyway.
@@Ron_Ventura True!
Not for people reading 8 - 10 feet away
The production quality of this video and the transitions look fantastic!
I absolutely love the pan out from the prompter at the beginning of the video. Very cool. Seriously, very cool touch.
Ordered one this morning. Excited for it! I've been waiting for something like this to try tackling my on-screen voice work
I can only imagine how hard that first shot was to do. Just want to leave a note that I respect that you took the time to do it. Really impressive!
I'm guessing it was 3 separate clips... One where Harris introduced the product, one of a zoomout of the prompter (while it displayed the first clip) and then one panning to the side where Harris has the prompter in front of him. That's just my guess :)
💯
Quite easy. That's what makes it even more impressing and great handicraft. It's just three clips and dissolve transitions.
Nice review - I think I have found my next purchase! :) Loving the fact we can cast a screen from our computer directly to the teleprompter screen. This saves me time copying and pasting my script into an app, then using my phone under the glass!
Am so amazed of how talented and creative you are the first section of this video is absolutely amazing. The cuts the scene is amazing.
I LOVE this teleprompter, I use it for everything, work, streaming, recording, i've legit never found anything so versatile.
Can we just admit that this video is low-key a masterpiece...In many ways 👍 Love the way you do things, Harris! Learning a lot! And the Elgato Prompter is absolute 🔥
They have my attention. Definitely will shortlist when they get a 12-inch+ model released as that would be far more useful generally, IMO.
Really cool intro, one of your best tbh, which is saying a lot considering how many you have, very MKBHD feeling!
Dude. Seems like I can always rely on this channel to have the kind of video I'm looking for. The other videos I found reviewing this were fine but they were a bit of a mess. Thanks for making this. Hope y'all have a merry Christmas as well :)
Looks nice - I do think that voice controlled scrolling is a must have for modern day teleprompters.. It's soooo much nicer having it scroll at your own pace. (the app Teleprompter Pro does this)
Can't wait for this to be available! 😎
And great idea with a Prompter XL, will buy that in an instant!
I'm not sold on a Prompter XL because if you are not looking at the center of the (large) Prompter than you lose "eye contact".
Great video, such a good job done in presenting this new prompter. Thank you!
Love your videos Harris, you have become a benchmark for me when it comes to new streaming equipment and advice ❤.
Elgato has done it again. Releasing something I don’t really need but really want.
and? will you buy it?
Elgato always coming in to change the game!! I’ve been working with a workaround setup that does all the same but with like 5 cables lol
I also vote for a bigger one - actual monitor size would be dope!
I've used one for software tutorials for a while. You are look the screen and the camera at the same time. It makes it almost look like your narrating over previously recorded footage. It's also great for chatting you just bring up the site and zoom in on the chat window, if it doesn't allow you to pop it out. It works great.
I DIYed my second prompter when I didn't like my original parrot prompter. Too small and you can't use a real monitor. But less than $50 in parts and an old monitor and I was in business.
More recently I purchased a professionally made prompter for $150 then got one of those 15" portable monitors for $100. It's working great and your in the ballpark of the price of the Elgato one that's only 9". I highly recommend it.
great production value on all of your videos!
I think one thing to consider about a larger, full-monitor prompter is that it would telegraph more eye movement as you scan from one side of the screen to the other, especially at closer ranges. It would become clearer on camera that you're reading and break the "immersion" factor that using a prompter is geared towards.
I think the point would be that you can be farther from the prompter if it's bigger, but you're probably right that people would use it much closer than they're supposed to. It would mean it would be a useful second monitor for when you're not using the prompter features though.
just do what people do (or did) on TV then. huge letters.
want to keep the prompter and monitor away from you for any reason? ok, zoom in the camera on you.
there's nothing new to prompter technique, its a technology from the time cathode-ray tvs were the deal
@@bzipolithe letters were large on tv promoters because they're across the studio
You can both increase the size of the text and increase the margin size so you're not reading across the full wide space.
I think the other thing to consider is just how far you'd have to be away from it: the base is a monitor, so bigger and bigger models would force you to be increasingly further from the picture.
Been using a teleprompter working remotely for over 2 years now. With a similar setup albeit for about twice the price but it’s a slightly larger display and higher resolution.
The Lilliput A11 is a 10” monitor that allows for in display rotation with zero latency. It works great paired with a Glide Gear TMP500.
I use the same monitor on my teleprompter setup, wish it was tad wider, 12” perhaps, to better see content shared on video calls.
This product looks amazing. Almost exactly what I’ve been looking for to solve my problem when recording video and reading scripts. Also the twitch chat integration is a huge plus. I hate looking away from my camera to engage with chat
You can also adjust the opacity so you can preview your camera and see your script at the same time!
amazing video, can’t wait to get one of these
I use a 19" PrompterPeople one and swapped out the screen for a high bright Lilliput monitor. Its a full size monitor at this point.
I need the full monitor version. Like seriously. It’s a great idea! Please Elgato
@@travisminneapolis That's great idea. What exact Lilliput monitor are you using?
This looks sick! Appreciate the quick video on it!
I havint been streaming for a while. But I can say this sounds and looks like a game changer! Feel like this is a good step in the right direction of creativity. Great video Harris!
This looks super cool, but maybe it’s just me, during the sponsor segment it still looks like his eyes are constantly darting off camera? Idk if it’s because he’s actually looking away from the camera, or maybe the prompter screen is too big and so his eyes aren’t technically always looking at the lens?
He looks away a handful of times and blinks, looking staring straight ahead 100% of the time is uncomfortable for speaker and viewer
It takes a bit of skill to read text without looking directly at it. It’s doable and you can get used to it, but it’s not intuitive. Maybe he’s suffering from this? Anyone can learn to properly read from a promoter though
I immediately went straight to Elgato and ordered this thing.
Its sold out since weeks here, in Germany, unfortunately :/
Great explanation, as I wondered what all the fuss was about with this new Teleprompter. Makes total sense now that you showed it in action. Thanks for posting this video.
I’ve been using a Teleprompter on my channel for 2 years now; it’s been a game changer. It makes my whole production process more streamlined, being able to write my script, ensure I say the right things, and it cuts down editing.
I have had a similar setup to this through different components, but it’s all been jank - so having an AIO setup, so much cleaner.
if they had a 24" and 27" telepromter size then they will definitely be selling big in the media studio production space. That being said, I'd buy it just for my corporate video clients.
Besides the recorded videos Im teaching 300-400 students maths in zoom meetings and looking in the eyes was important for me but I couldn’t do it with the cam I was streaming but with this Im so excited. As a huge fan of Elgato I’ll defitely get one. Thank you so much Harris for this. Best
Love the beginning of the video. Love the Elgato idea! Thanks for the review! 🤯🤯🤯
Remember, if the prompter gets too big, then your viewers will start to notice your eyes moving from left to right as you read the script. That’s why I think it serves a function for it to be small.
Then they could just add a adjuster to move where the words are in the prompter then have it as a big screen otherwise/
Lol, too expensive. I can get a second hand Desview teleprompter for below 50 bucks if I only want the teleprompting part. 279 is ridiculous, even with a 'second monitor'. The second monitor I can make by buying a 7 inch screen on Amazon or Aliexpress for 50 bucks and then connecting it to an hdmi port on my GPU. Total cost < 100 bucks if you include a second hand teleprompter. You would essentially pay 200 bucks for the software alone. Granted, that is okay if you actually use specific features. But this product should be 80-100 bucks cheaper if you think about it.
if you want to pay price of cost for everything you own in your life without paying for convenience you'll always think everything is too expensive
@@SuellioAlmeidaI’m a pretty handy guy, I can usually put new parts in my computer, could probably build one from scratch, I can clean my house, fix broke furniture, do gardening etc…
But I also have a full time job that I earn money for: I spend that money so I can save my time later.
@@SuellioAlmeidaStill a company trying to squeeze the most amoun of money with a product that should obviously be cheaper is not that good. They are pandering to the dumb rich audience. Like Apple selling cheap things as expensive stuff. Like diamond sellers that inflate prices out of nothing. That elgato price is ridiculous for reasonable people. Not unreasonable for rich people.
@@SuellioAlmeida In five minutes on Amazon I found a comparable (1024x600, 9in, IPS) screen for $60. The convenience of all-in-one is pretty minimal.
The idea of a $280 teleprompter being accessible to everyone (seriously, everyone) is pretty laughable.
For me it looks like it should replace gears for around $800 so it seems pretty cheap and get better integration with stream deck
First, thank you for your work. Always neat and straight to the point.
Second, this gadget happens to solve a lot of my problems with recording scripted videos and the chat idea is AWESOME! I hate when I read the chat and I have to remember to look at the camera for engaging.
Thank you so much Senpai!
Your lighting is the best. Love the videos brother.
I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while. I’m so glad that I don’t have to try to piece one together. Thank you for the great video!
This thing is so good and so useful...So many use cases and well thought thru.
Oh man, perfect timing! Been looking for something like this for my training calls. Can’t wait to purchase this!!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. THANK YOU!
Yup, I need this. Excellent run down as always.
Oh daang that looks awesome! I have 0 use for it but dang it looks sick! Great work Elgato.
Fab video as always Mr. Harris!
That's a great demonstration and explanation thank you. I've used a teleprompter on and off for years and this would be a nice upgrade. The monitor connected to the computer is a great addition.
Great review! Thank you
This is super interesting. I was never interested in getting a teleprompter, but this looks like a really neat and useful product that I can totally see using myself. I have sooo many zoom calls and this could easily make them all better.
Seems like a fantastic product, will definitely add it to my wishlist.
Love the content, Harris!
Thank you. I have an Elgato Stream Deck (for productivity, not streaming) and was thinking of the Elgato Prompter for my content creation to add to my Panasonic G7 camera. Your review was insightful and is a big help to my deliberations.
This looks awesome! Can't wait to try this!
I’m excited to see people start using this. It’s a big step forward
the bokeh, the lighting, the colors, geez Harris this video is beautiful
As an all-in-one setup this is truly awesome. I agree. Prompter XL to go 16 in screen or larger would be awesome, but obviously that targets industry groups and would need other features that aren't their current demographic market.
I look forward to seeing this paired with the footpedal though in smaller studios or student production houses to cycle the scripts up and down. It'd be like a more affordable news studio at that point.
This is freaking amazing. I've had a $200 teleprompter sitting in my closet for a couple years that I used for like one project and that was it, but the screen feed on this one is mega sauce.
I use a teleprompter outside a lot and having a SUPER bright screen would be the best feature for me, so hard to read off the mirror outside in sunlight, any prompter will work in a dimly lit studio like yours. Larry
I have been waiting for this for years. I have been workshopping budget ways to make one in my free time. Now I can just buy it. I'm pumped. Promoter for chat, then prompter xl for the game. Always just staring into the audiences soul.
this is a pretty cool. nice to see some new ideas coming into focus for streaming,
Very nice, I think I might actually add this to my Christmas list :)
This is actually an incredible product, great examples. I'm sold.
This is fortuitous indeed! I've been on the prowl for a good Teleprompter and was looking in all the expensive places (here's looking at you B&H!) and should have looked at Elgato again! Thanks for the video, and as a fellow BYU grad, nihongo to ganbatte ne!
I find it gamechanging, I've always done this with an extremely small display which is exactly on the right side of the camera, so you can read the chat perfectly and look almost into the cam. But with this, especially because you can control it as an additional monitor is perfect. I like this idea very much.
I have one of those small prompters that uses a phone, and while you make some great points... there's one thing that this can't do that mine can. I can use the Prompt Smart Pro app that will scroll the text as I talk. It's listening to what I say and will scroll as I complete sentences. If I stop speaking, it's stops. I've not seen another prompter software that can do this. For me, that's worth dealing with it being flimsy and a slight PITA. And I just use one of my older phones anyways, that way I can use my current phone as a remote for the app. If this had that ability... I'd be all for it, but without it, all those other benefits are moot for me. I will also say that a bigger prompter sounds nice, but not with a wide lens as being that close, it will become apparent that you're reading rather than having, what looks like, a genuine conversation with your viewers.
HAHAHAHAHAH I laughed so loud in the end when you mention the full size monitor because that was what I was thinking from the first minute of the video! I felt like you read my mind 😂
it is very helful and innovative. cant wait to see what else they make
Wonderful video. Fantastic intro!
I was looking into building one of these for a while and now it’s here what? Great demonstration of this promter
Looks great, thank you! I bought one and it's backordered, should arrive by January... 😮
I have a teleprompter Glide Gear through Amazon and seeing this now has me drooling. exactly what I need. dammit need to save up more money. Great Video!!!
This will be an absolute game changer for me - I always trip up on my words etc when in front of a camera as I'm still pretty camera shy and get anxious about it. I'm always conscious of looking over at the camera flip screen and not the actual lens often as well, as I'm always making sure the shot looks good. Was wondering what the next step for Elgato would be, and this is an amazing (if not my favourite) addition.
Wow, this is another product that can help my office setup. Thanks!
Love the Freudian slip in the video info "Elgato PROMOTER". Seriously, I'm planning to redo my home office and I will plan some space for this. The Prompter-XL would absolutely change the world of web meetings.
Seems neat. I have always tried to have my chat as near to my camera as I can, just to try and get that "I am looking at you" vibe when I read it
When I wrote about that being Apple's tactic, a marketing lecturer got mad and gave me a bad grade!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is how they operate vs "everything was invented by Apple and they are creative, innovative and great". I would argue being last to market, so you can refine an idea and streamline the experience of using it, is still innovative in it's own way, and I wasn't saying that was their strategy to detract from them.
This was an awesome video, thanks!
I love it! I've made various DIY teleprompters in the past, but they're never quite up to par and they also require one of my devices like my phone or tablet. Definitely not clean enough for a streaming setup. The fact that this works as an external monitor is amazing! But does it take one of the video outputs from my graphics card? I assume it does. I can work with that.
Adding it to my Christmas list.
when you said "Use 1" i thought to myself, this would be great for reading chat (not just Twitch) and i was blown away by "Use 4". i literally have my chat and cam as close to eye level as i can get so i'm looking towards the viewer. couple this with a switch to camera output, then stream output, then obs, then back to chat. absolute endless use cases i can also think of. i'll also admit that the price is really modest as the people that NEED something like this is not the beginner streamer/content creator... its the people that make their income from content. can they afford NOT to buy it?
Dang it Harris, you made me buy the Lumix S5IIx and now this LOL. Thanks for the awesome reviews!
This is exciting I would love to see some larger options but I think they are adding some awesome options for creators here.
I can already see a Prompter XL in the works. This is Amazing.
Yet another elgato device I never knew I need till right now ❤Thank you as always Harris 🙌
Thanks for this dude!
Almost certainly will add this to my setup sometime in the next couple of months.
Nice recommendations. Thanks.
bought one this morning. I've wanted a prompter for a while now and this one was just too tempting to pass up. i cant wait to try it out
I'm actually excited for this. I put off doing "talking head" shots on my vids because of issues with my script and looking at the camera (nvidia ai has helped a bit here), but this is another level.
Genuinely, as somebody who wants to go into more tutorial type of videos but have issues remembering everything that I need to talk about, this is definitely a game changer. I hope that with this I should finally feel comfortable enough to make the videos I've been planning and working on for the last few months
rt
I would have never thought a teleprompter would be so huge for streamers. This really opened my eyes.
Nice vid…will be planning how to incorporate this into my virtual classroom setup.
I have 4 teleprompters and always fall back to my first one from 20 years ago that I put a newer Lilliputing 11” monitor in. But it’s kludgy and I was close to shelling out the 2k plus for an ikan model. But this looks amazing. Ordered as soon as I saw the thumbnail for this video.
Thank you - this looks fantastic.
Would love to see elgato set up an XL version. I've expressed this directly to our business development rep. 15" would be ideal for two reasons:
1) large enough to see multiple faces if using zoom, google meet, or any video conference software
2) small enough that anywhere you look within a 15" should mostly keep your eyes in frame
the current model, while you can see a couple faces, it's really only idea for a 1:1 or using in speaker mode, not in a gallery mode with more than 4 people.
We currently use a 16.5" teleprompter with a 15" portable monitor just to capture the zoom calls, so it would be awesome if it had USB-C pass through as well so their facecam pro camera can be run on the same line. newer standards of USB-C, TB3, and TB4 all support enough bandwidth and power throughput for this.
First video of yours I've stumbled across, but great video
Never thought I would see Harris reviewing a teleprompter of all things
This is great! Thank you!
