A straightforward and user-friendly teleprompter software designed for Mac users.
PromptPuppy is a software-only teleprompter that is essentially the junior version of PromptDog. This software has been tweaked extensively on the set and afterwards until it worked perfectly to very high standards.
If you're wondering why use a teleprompter, it's because teleprompters are cool. With PromptPuppy, putting a laptop or a second monitor above or below the camera lens is a great way to save the trouble of memorizing lengthy scripts and make shoots go faster, smoother, and better.
Professionals who use teleprompters on shoots know that they can be expensive and not designed very well. Professional teleprompters can cost more than a thousand dollars. This is why we consider it highway robbery. Small LCD monitors can easily be purchased for under $100, and half-silvered mirrors and boxes are also not too expensive.
PromptPuppy saves you the trouble of hunting for preferences or searching through menus. All controls for text size, font, line spacing, and inverting text for black-on-white display are easily accessible right on the main page. Every second counts on set, so this is an essential feature.
If the talent flubs a line, PromptPuppy has a feature called QuickRewind. With just a flick of your finger backward on the mouse wheel, the text will rapidly skip back a few lines at warp speed so you can retake the section. Other prompters require you to work very hard to scroll back a few lines.
PromptPuppy features smooth, quiet scrolling. Instead of using noisy keystrokes, it uses your laptop trackpad or mouse scroll wheel for very responsive and quiet, easily adjustable scrolling speed. If you don't have a scroll wheel or trackpad, up and down arrow keys work as an alternative.
Overall, PromptPuppy is an affordable and easy-to-use teleprompter software with excellent features and functionality for a smooth and efficient shoot.
