Choose Guided or Free recording

Before you start

Allow camera and microphone access when prompted. Guided recording also uses speech recognition and needs a saved script with at least one nonempty line.

Choose your approach

Guided recording: use a saved script when you want help delivering prepared lines. The guided camera offers Line-by-Line and Continuous modes.

Free Record: speak freely without choosing a script first.

Free Record with Script: keep a saved script available while recording in the free workflow.

Instructions

Step 1: Open the recording chooser

Tap the app’s record button to open How do you want to record?

Step 2: Choose your starting point

For an unscripted take, tap Free Record.

For a saved script, tap Saved Scripts, then select the script. You can also open a script from Library → Scripts and tap Record.

Step 3: Choose a guided mode

For a regular recording-ready script, the guided camera offers:

Line-by-Line: work through the script one line at a time, with spoken prompts.

Continuous: use the guided script in a continuous take.

Choose the mode before you begin recording.

Step 4: Use a script in free recording

In the recording chooser, open Saved Scripts, long-press a script, and choose Free Record with Script.

Text saved with Insert raw text opens the free recording workflow when you tap Record.

Step 5: Check the preview

Confirm that the camera preview and selected script or mode are right before starting. Follow the recording controls, then continue into review when your take is ready.

What happens next

The completed take opens in the video editor, where you can review it, adjust captions, and export.

Troubleshooting

Saved Scripts is empty

This picker shows scripts that have not yet been recorded. Use Library → Scripts for the full list, or tap Create a script to make one.

The recorder asks for a script line

Reopen the script and add at least one nonempty line before trying again.

I already filmed the video

Choose Import a Video from the recording chooser and select a video from Photos. You do not need to record it again.
