ScrollCue smooth scroll is a GPU-accelerated, compositor-only animation with velocity easing. It has Live, Normal, and Fast presets plus a fine slider from 10 to 240 pixels per second, adjustable mid-roll with the scroll wheel. It is free with no account.
It should not judder, and it does not
A teleprompter that stutters is worse than no teleprompter, because your eye locks onto the stutter instead of the words. ScrollCue animates on the compositor, which is the part of the browser that does not care what else is happening on the page, and eases the velocity so speed changes ramp in and out instead of snapping.
Controls
- Presets — Live, Normal, and Fast, for when you do not want to think about numbers.
- Fine slider — 10 to 240 pixels per second when you do.
- Scroll wheel — change speed mid-roll on desktop without pausing or reaching for anything.
- Drag to scrub — grab the script and move through it directly.
- Remaining time — recalculates live as you change speed.
Smooth scroll or Voice Follow?
- Smooth scroll for rehearsal, and for anything with a runtime you have to hit exactly.
- Smooth scroll when you want identical pacing across every take.
- Voice Follow when recording, because your real pace on the day is never quite the number you picked beforehand.
The word highlight
The current word is tracked in strict reading order as it crosses the cue line, and it stays correct even when your script mixes text sizes. That matters more than it sounds: if you glance away and back, the highlight is where your eye lands, and you have not lost anything.
Frequently asked questions
What speeds can I set?
Three presets, plus a fine slider from 10 to 240 pixels per second. Change it mid-roll with the scroll wheel on desktop.
Can I change speed while recording?
Yes, with the scroll wheel, without pausing. Though if you are recording, Voice Follow usually saves you from wanting to.
Is smooth scroll free?
Yes. Smooth scroll, the presets, the fine slider, and the word highlight are all free with no account.
Why does the speed ramp instead of changing instantly?
Because an instant speed change is a jerk, and a jerk pulls your eye off the words. Easing the velocity in and out keeps the movement invisible.
