EDITS TELEPROMPTER TEST
Source-checked, not a guaranteed device fix. Keep accessibility settings you need.

PRESERVE
Full script saved outside Edits:
Existing takes independently opened:
Original project media backed up:
Phone / operating system / Edits version:
Creation mode:
Do not clear storage or uninstall to perform this test.

OBSERVED FAILURE
[ ] Option missing
[ ] Text stays still
[ ] Jumps to end
[ ] Scrolling too fast
[ ] Scrolling works, recording fails
Exact action:
What happens next:
Selected speed:
Selected text size:

HARMLESS FOUR-LINE SCRIPT
This is line one.
This is line two.
I will pause before line three.
This is the final line.

CONTROLLED COMPARISON
Baseline result:
Typed directly or pasted:
One changed variable:
Result:
Original setting restored:
Do not change script, speed and phone settings at once.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE
Reduced/remove animation setting:
Needed for comfortable or safe device use? Keep it.
Optional comparison comfortable and appropriate? If no, skip.
If tested: original value / brief result / restored value.
Anecdotal workaround is not proof of a universal app defect.
No developer settings or unrelated permissions changed.

FILMING FALLBACK
Tutorial's one useful takeaway:
Thought 1:
Thought 2:
Thought 3:
Thought 4:
Read thought, look at lens, speak, pause, check take.
Short cue beside lens:
Usable take filenames:
No need to race through the entire script.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
Four-line test jumps immediately.
Preserve script and evidence; use thought-by-thought takes if the test remains unreliable.
Outcome is not a measured device test.

SUPPORT REPORT
Exact reproduction with harmless script:
Mode, speed and text size:
Does camera/audio recording itself work?
Relevant accessibility setting:
Update/reopen result:
Safe screen recording with notifications hidden:
Keep originals while waiting for support.
