Can I read a sponsor ad read to camera without sounding stiff?

Yes. Reelvana auto-scrolls the script at the speed you set, so you can hit the exact sponsor wording at a pace that fits your delivery while keeping eye contact. Keep the overlay near the top of the screen so your gaze stays natural.

Does it record video for a video podcast?

Yes. Reelvana records the video itself, in HD, and you can record with your intro or bed music from another app still playing. It is aimed at solo pieces and clips rather than multi-camera studio capture, so it is ideal for intros, ad reads, promos, and vertical clips.

Can it clean up ums and dead air in my clip?

Yes. On-device detection finds silent gaps and filler and trims them with lead and tail padding so cuts breathe. There are Podcast and Tight presets, or you can tune the threshold and re-run, all on the device.

Is my audio and video kept private?

Yes. Reelvana runs on the device, so your video never leaves your phone. The teleprompter, recording, cleanup, on-device captions, and editing all work in airplane mode. Two optional features use the cloud only when you turn them on: cloud captions (send the clip's audio) and AI script writing (sends your topic).

A teleprompter for podcasters and video podcasts

Q: Why would a podcaster use a teleprompter?

Podcasts have scripted moments: the cold open, the show intro, sponsor ad reads, calls to action, and the outro. A teleprompter lets you deliver those word for word while looking at the camera, which matters now that most shows publish video and cut vertical clips. Reelvana lets you pace the scroll to your delivery on a words-per-minute slider (80 to 360), so the read sounds natural, not recited.

Podcasts are video now. The intro, the sponsor read, and the vertical clips all face a camera, and all of them have lines you need to get right. A teleprompter you can pace to your delivery lets you nail the wording while still sounding like yourself.

Short version: Reelvana lets you read intros, ad reads, and outros to camera with a prompter that scrolls at a pace you set, records the clip on the device, keeps your bed music playing, and cuts the ums and dead air before you export. One private app for the scripted parts of your show.

The scripted parts of a podcast

Most of a podcast is unscripted conversation, and it should stay that way. But every show has moments that need to be exact. The cold open that has to land. The intro that names the show and the guest. The sponsor ad read where the wording is contractually specific. The call to action and the outro. Fluff those and you either retake or you publish something loose.

A teleprompter fixes the scripted moments without making the rest robotic. The trick is a scroll you can pace to your own delivery, not one that forces you to chase it.

Ad reads that keep the exact wording

Sponsor reads are where a prompter earns its keep. You often have to hit specific phrasing, a promo code, and a URL, but read it verbatim off a fixed scroll and it sounds like a hostage note. Reelvana lets you set the scroll speed on a words-per-minute slider, so you can deliver the sponsor's exact words at your own natural pace, with your eyes on the lens. Keep the overlay near the top of the screen and the read looks like you are just talking to your audience.

Record the video, keep the bed music

For a video podcast or a promo clip, Reelvana records the footage itself, in HD. And because it uses a mix-with-others audio session, your intro sting or bed music from another app keeps playing while you film, so the vibe is there from the first second. It is built for solo pieces and clips rather than a multi-camera studio, which makes it a clean fit for intros, ad reads, promos, and the vertical cuts you post to grow the show.

Cut the filler before you post

Podcasters know how much dead air and how many ums hide in a take. Reelvana's on-device cleanup finds the silent gaps and filler and trims them with lead and tail padding so the cuts still breathe. There are Podcast and Tight presets, or you can set the threshold and re-run. Then you can:

Caption the clip. Transcribe on the device and burn in animated captions so your vertical cuts read on mute.
Trim by transcript. Transcribe the clip, then strike out words to cut them, which is a fast way to tighten a take.
Find the strong moments. The Auto Shorts finder surfaces punchy segments as ready-to-post candidates.
Brand and share. Add your show name or logo as a watermark, then export and share it to any app through the system share sheet.

Your video stays on your device

Guest material and unreleased episodes are sensitive. Your video stays on your device. The prompter, the recording, the silence cleanup, the caption transcription, and the editing all run on the phone and work offline, so your video never leaves it. No ad SDK either.
