Margie Barkley: You can still enjoy the Hippo with these 5 video features!

You’re not the only one who is camera-shy. Many people are nervous when they’re on camera. This can prevent them from creating video content. In fact, camera phobia is one of the most common objections we hear from users. We found that people who record videos can feel as if they are talking to a blank wall, or worse, to no one. This leads them to make fewer videos, or even stop making videos altogether. Video content is now more important than ever. Do not let your shyness stop you from creating content which could lead to increased sales, partnerships and followers. This is a great opportunity to build your brand and connect with your audience. Hippo Video can help you overcome your camera phobia and create great video content. Here are five features to help you get going:

Hippo Video Teleprompter: Exclusive Features

Hippo Video’s teleprompter is not your ordinary teleprompter which scrolls through the script. The teleprompter is intuitive and designed to help you at a pace you feel comfortable with. You can choose between two different scrolling options for the script.

There are two options for the teleprompter.

a. Autoscroll: In this mode, the script can be customized to your liking. You can adjust the speed, the line spacing and the text size. You can pause the recording mid-script by pressing the space bar. Then, you can resume the scrolling with another press of the spacebar. You can do it!

b. Video flow: Hippo Video is the only company that offers this feature. It will forever change how you record videos! This feature scrolls the script based on your voice. The script will stop scrolling if you pause speaking. This is like having a personal assistant track your script as you deliver your message.

Additional tips when using the Teleprompter

It is easier to remember and deliver lines when you break your script down into smaller chunks. You can use this feature to make notes to yourself and to remind you of important things. Play with fonts in your teleprompter to enhance the video. You can highlight the words that you wish to emphasize and reduce the font size of the sections where a more subtle touch is required. The teleprompter will help you engage your audience with your tone and pace.
