The All¹Mix Teleprompter element allows the announcer to read the text on the monitor without losing eye contact with the audience. Teleprompter uses the All¹Mix Rich Text element as its text source.

Rich Text

To create a Rich Text element, select the Rich Text tab in the MEDIA panel and use the (+) button.

The 'Rich Text' element can be used as a text source for the 'Teleprompter' element, and as a media source for other All¹Mix elements (slots, titles, 3d scene textures, etc.). Therefore, in the editor settings (right side of the editor window) there are two property columns for both cases - "Main Text" and 'Using as Media Input'. In this case, the font size (Editor Font Size) in the "Main Text" column only affects the font size in the 'Rich Text' editor window (only for ease of editing).

At the top of the editor window, in addition to the standard text editing icons, there is an icon Icon markaschapter.png, for assigning the selected part of the text as the title of a chapter of the text. The selector to the right of this icon is intended for quick scrolling to the title selected from the list.

'Rich Text' is part of the project and is saved in the project file. However, if necessary, you can use the import (*.html, *.htm, *.txt) and export (*.html) buttons.

Attention! It is not allowed to use the same 'Rich Text' both in the teleprompter and as a media source for other All¹Mix elements. In order to free 'Rich Text' for use as a media source for other All¹Mix elements, you must select <empty> as the text source for the teleprompter:
