Focus using smartphone (self.videoengineering)
submitted 1 year ago by shermozle to c/videoengineering@lemmy.film

I'm recording some face-to-camera videos with a Google Pixel 6 through a cheap Ali Express teleprompter but I'm having a hard time getting good decent focus on my face.

I've tried using a printed focus target taped up at the same distance as my face but evidently the sweet spot of my focus is way narrower than that.

Any suggestions? Any Android apps that can automatically keep a face in focus perhaps?

So the Pixel is doing the teleprompting as well and you're using the forward-facing camera?

No the Pixel is just recording the video. I have a cheap phone doing the teleprompter (and a Rasp Pi + small screen on order to do it more effectively)
