Teleprompter studio: write in beats, record, retake one beat, export a video.
CueUp is a small studio for talking-to-camera videos. Write your script, read it right beside the lens, and record it one beat at a time. Fluff a line and you redo that beat, not the whole video.
WRITE IN BEATS
Write or paste your script as plain Markdown. Each "##" heading starts a beat: a short section you record on its own. Cue cards, lower-thirds, pictures and private notes go right in the script, where you'll see them while you record.
READ IT BY THE LENS
The teleprompter scrolls over the camera preview, just under the selfie camera, so your eyes stay close to the lens. Set the speed, text size, tint and reading line. It never ends a take on its own: a beat is done when you say so. Tap to start and stop, or hold to record and let go to stop. An optional countdown gives you a moment to settle.
FIRE CUES AS YOU TALK
Press Next cue during a take to bring in a text card, a lower-third with your name, a picture or a full-screen image, right on the word. Cards can pop, fade or slide in. You can rehearse your cues before you record, and they're drawn into the final video exactly where you fired them.
FIX ONE BEAT
Every take is kept. Play any take back, pick the best one for each beat, or retake a single beat. The other beats stay exactly as they were.
FRAME AND PUNCH IN
Set the zoom and framing for each beat, and add punch-ins (a hard cut to a tighter shot) to hide the jump between separately recorded beats.
REVIEW AND EXPORT
Review plays the whole video in order, with your cues. Export renders a 1080×1920 portrait MP4 on your phone, ready to share or save to your gallery. Your recordings are never changed, so you can adjust framing or edit a card and export again without re-recording.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no sign-in
• No cloud: projects stay on your phone
• No AI and no speech recognition: nothing listens to you
• No ads and no tracking
Nothing leaves your phone unless you share it.
FREE, WITH A ONE-OFF UNLOCK
Everything in CueUp is free to use. Videos exported from the free version carry a small "Made with CueUp" mark in the corner. A single one-off purchase removes it from new exports, for good. No subscription.
Have a script in another format? CueUp can copy a ready-made conversion prompt for you to paste into any AI chat you already use. CueUp itself never contacts an AI service.
New to it? A one-minute tutorial project walks you through recording, review and export.

• Video clips as cues: import a clip and play it picture-in-picture or full screen while you talk, once or looping, at the volume you choose.
• Animated GIFs: imported GIFs and WebPs keep their animation in the preview and the finished video.
• Cues can pulse or sway gently while they're on screen.
