Abstract

Systems and methods for rendering video with teleprompter script overlays are described. A video rendering system provides a user interface for displaying a script for use during the rendering of the video (e.g., while the user records and/or streams the video). The script is arranged such that it at least partially overlays the video feed and is positioned within the display of the user interface to produce a line of sight of a user corresponding to first region of a field of view of the video capture device. When a user'"'"'s line of sight is fixed upon the script overlay (i.e., when the user is reading the script) and aligned with the first region of the field of view of the video capture device, a viewer of the video rendering is given a visual perception that the user is looking directly at the viewer (e.g., making eye contact).

Claims

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by a processing device, a script comprising text; and

generating, via a user interface of a user device, a display comprising a video feed comprising data captured by a video capture device and a script overlay comprising the text of the script at least partially overlaying the video feed, wherein the script overlay is arranged at a position of the display to produce a line of sight of a user corresponding to a first region of a field of view of the video capture device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the script comprises receiving a selection of the script from a plurality of scripts.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the script comprises retrieving the script from a database storing a plurality of scripts.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the script comprises receiving a file comprising the script from a user computing device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more script parameters comprising at least one of a scrolling speed of the text of the script, a font size of the text of the script, a font type of the text of the script, or a color of the text of the script.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising initiating a recording of at least a portion of the video feed.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising terminating the recording of the at least the portion of the video feed when a last portion of the script reaches a termination point within the display.

8. A system comprising:

a video capture device configured to capture a video feed;

a processing device operatively coupled to the video capture device; and

memory to store computer-executable instructions that, if executed, cause the processing device to;

generate a script comprising text based on one or more inputs;

generate a display comprising a video feed comprising data captured by the video capture device and a script overlay comprising the text of the script at least partially overlaying the video feed, wherein the script overlay is arranged at a position of the display to produce a line of sight of a user corresponding to a first region of a field of view of the video capture device; and

provide the display via a user interface of a computing device.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more script selection parameters comprising at least one of a selection of the script from a database comprising a plurality of scripts, a script type, a script format, a script name, a script template, a script length, a script tone, or a script genre.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more script parameters comprising at least one of a scrolling speed of the text of the script, a font size of the text of the script, a font type of the text of the script, or a color of the text of the script.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more video rendering parameters comprising at least one of a start recording instruction, a stop recording instruction, a pause recording instruction, a save recording instruction, an instruction to start streaming the video feed to another computing system, an instruction to stop streaming the video feed to another computing system, or an instruction to pause streaming the video feed.

12. The system of claim 8, the processing device to initiate a recording of at least a portion of the video feed.

13. The system of claim 12, the processing device to terminate the recording of the at least the portion of the video feed when a last portion of the script reaches a termination point within the display.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

store, in a database, a script comprising text;

generate a display comprising a video feed comprising data captured by the video capture device and a script overlay comprising the text of the script at least partially overlaying the video feed, wherein the script overlay is arranged at a position of the display to produce a line of sight of a user corresponding to a first region of a field of view of the video capture device; and

provide the display via a user interface of a computing device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 14, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more script selection parameters comprising at least one of a selection of the script from a database comprising a plurality of scripts, a script type, a script format, a script name, a script template, a script length, a script tone, or a script genre.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 14, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more script parameters comprising at least one of a scrolling speed of the text of the script, a font size of the text of the script, a font type of the text of the script, or a color of the text of the script.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 14, wherein the display further comprises a controller configured to receive one or more indications from the user to control one or more video rendering parameters comprising at least one of a start recording instruction, a stop recording instruction, a pause recording instruction, a save recording instruction, an instruction to start streaming the video feed to another computing system, an instruction to stop streaming the video feed to another computing system, or an instruction to pause streaming the video feed.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 14, the processing device to initiate a recording of at least a portion of the video feed.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 18, the processing device to terminate the recording of the at least the portion of the video feed when a last portion of the script reaches a termination point within the display.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 14, the processing device to stream the video feed to a computing system via a network.
