Record Over Slides with a Teleprompter
Record over your FoxCue slide deck with a camera bubble, speaker-notes teleprompter, 3-2-1 countdown, markers and keyboard shortcuts for every control.
The slide recorder records you presenting a slide deck, with your camera in a bubble and your speaker notes in a teleprompter. Open a script's Slides tab and click Record Video. It has a 3-2-1 countdown and keyboard shortcuts for every control.
For camera-first recordings with layouts, background blur and voice tracking, use the studio recorder instead.

Frequently asked questions
Studio recorder or slide recorder: which should I use?
Use the slide recorder to present a deck with speaker notes, keyboard shortcuts and a countdown. Use the studio recorder for talking-head, screen and mixed layouts, background effects, voice-tracked teleprompter and cues.
Where does my slide recording go?
It's saved to the script's versions, and a transcript is generated in the background. Find it in the script's Video tab and in Outputs.
