Introduction Introduction This guide is intended to help you understand how each feature of Wirecast operates and to provide you with information to help you make the best presentations possible. Topics Editions and Options Wirecast Workflow Tutorials Two Ways to Use this Application Using AutoLive Main Window Layout Scripting APIs Editions and Options Wirecast is available in multiple editions.
Introduction Wirecast Workflow Features that pertain specifically to Wirecast Studio are indicated by the Studio icon (shown below): STUDIO Wirecast Pro is the professional edition of Wirecast and includes all the features of Wirecast Studio. It adds an audio inspector, advanced audio controls, virtual sets, scoreboards, and many other professional features.
Introduction Wirecast Workflow Below is a diagram of the basic Wirecast workflow. In general, you will capture your live input devices (such as live camera feeds, iOS cameras, computer desktop, web feeds and more), produce your show using the full range of Wirecast production features (chroma key, graphics, titles, scoreboards, etc.), and then stream it live to web, LAN, or record locally.
Introduction Tutorials Wirecast works with cameras, capture cards, audio devices. It prepares media and then outputs it either by streaming to the Internet, CDNs, multicast/unicasts via LAN, locally via virtual output or second display, or Pro's Blackmagic Output feature. Go button Tutorials It is suggested that you first work through the tutorials in the Tutorials section. They are quick, informative, and the easiest way to become familiar with Wirecast.
Introduction Two Ways to Use this Application • Presenter Plus Operator The presenter concentrates on the content and someone else operates Wirecast. In this mode, the presenter never needs to know in detail how Wirecast works. Presenter Is Operator In this mode of operation, the person conducting the presentation simultaneously operates Wirecast.
Introduction Using AutoLive • Use the Inspector window to open and edit shots The Inspector window acts exactly like the edit window but always edits the last shot you changed. To open the Inspector Window, click on the Window menu and select Inspector. Using AutoLive Some users of Wirecast may want to single-click a shot to make it become live. Other users may want to make several changes to the broadcast before making them live. You can use both methods in Wirecast.
Introduction Main Window Layout Main Window Layout Wirecast enables you to select which functions are displayed in the Main window. These functions are added or removed from the main window using the Layout menu. There are three layout options: Preview, Master Audio, and Main Shot List. Each option represents a pane in the Main window and is turned on or off by selecting it. A check mark indicates that the option is turned on.
Introduction Main Window Layout Preview STUDIO Preview displays what the broadcast will look like when you click the Go button. (The Go button is only active when AutoLive is off.) To display the Preview window, click select Layout >Preview.
Introduction Main Window Layout Master Audio The Master Audio panel enables you to control the output volume level, mute audio output, and mute the line-out feed for Preview and Live displays. To display Master Audio for Preview and Live displays, click Layout > Master Audio. Click again to hide the Master audio controls.
Introduction Main Window Layout Main Shot List Normally, the Main Window displays the shot list at the bottom of the window. However, you can hide the shot list display by unchecking Main Shot List in the Layout Menu. This is useful if you want to open up multiple Shot List Layer windows. (Shot List not display at bottom of window) Control/Status Bar Control buttons and status information are displayed at the top of the Main window.
Introduction Main Window Layout • CPU usage (percentage) This displays the current load on your CPU when streaming or recording in percent of usage. The encoder affects the CPU usage more than any other parameter in Wirecast. If this value is high, you should use a different encoder, or modify your encoder settings. If the CPU usage is near 95%, use a lower quality video output to lower the bandwidth. Note: To avoid decrease in video quality, Wirecast should not be used at CPU usage above 80%.
Introduction Main Window Layout Layers STUDIO Wirecast displays five layers in the Main Shot List window. They are numbered 1 through 5 along the right side of the window. Each layer contains shots that can be selected by clicking them. A red LED light indicates that a shot is Live. (If AutoLive is turned on, when a shot is selected it is displayed in the Live window.) If you select multiple shots -- by selecting shots on multiple layers -- they will all be displayed in the Live window.
Introduction Scripting APIs Layer Windows STUDIO You can also open the Shot List in a separate window. Select Window > New Layer Window to display a list of the layer windows you can open (Master Layer 1 through 5). Select the layer you want to open and a new, separate layer window is displayed. This panel works exactly like the Shot List panel in the Main window, but enables you to open multiple layer panels.

Tutorials Introduction The best way to get started using Wirecast is to quickly work through all its main features. This tour presents a series of three tutorials, each designed to help you understand how to create and broadcast presentations using Wirecast. As you work through these tutorials, you will also become familiar with important Wirecast concepts and how you can use them to deliver high quality broadcasts.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts The goal of this tutorial is to provide you with a quick but successful experience creating and broadcasting a presentation using Wirecast. This tutorial requires that you open the tutorial document in Wirecast. To do this, select Create Document for Tutorial from the Help menu in Wirecast.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts The Wirecast Main Window shows the AutoLive LED as turned on.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts The Main Window Wirecast has two main display areas: Live Broadcast and Shot List. The Live Broadcast area is in the upper portion of the window displaying what Wirecast broadcasts to your viewers (or what it records to disk). The Shot List, in the lower half of the window, displays the shots available for broadcast. Live Broadcast Area Shot List What Is a Shot? Wirecast uses the concept of a shot to construct presentations.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Switching Between Shots Individual shots are displayed in the Shot List. Click the Ripples shot in the Shot List area and the image fades into the Live Broadcast Area display. This is called “taking a shot live”.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Click the shot labeled Blank Shot and the Ripples image fades to a blank screen. The Blank Shot enables you to display nothing, which is sometimes useful. Blank Shot in Live Broadcast Area Click Blank Shot Transitions In the previous examples, a fade occurred when you clicked on a shot. This is because a smooth transition is the default. Transition controls are located just below the Live Broadcast Area where two kinds of transitions are shown: Cut and Smooth.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts transition to assign to the button. You can also click the transition button and drag the mouse downward until the menu of selections is displayed. Click arrow to open menu Select a transition type For example, to change the first transition button from Cut to Swoop, click the Cut button and dragging downward until the menu appears. select Swoop from the menu. Swoop should now be selected for the first button.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Layers Note: Before you start this section, please select Smooth as your transition. STUDIO Wirecast enables you display several shots in the Preview and Live windows at the same time by rendering them one on top of another according to Wirecast's Layer system. This is an excellent way to add and remove objects in your broadcast. Wirecast displays five layers in the Main Shot List window. They are numbered 1 through 5 along the right side of the window.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Layers are displayed in a particular order: Layer 1 is on top, Layer 2 below it, Layer 3 below Layer 2, etc. This tutorial, so far, has been operating on Layer 3. Blank, Ripples, River shots and Movie shot are on Layer 3 (as seen previously in this tutorial), but Layer 2 has only a logo and a blank shot. Master Layer 3 Each layer can be turned on or off by clicking the white LED light on the far right side of the layer window.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts single-click method is that you can only see one shot change at a time. Once you click a shot, your viewers also see it (with no preview of how it looks on your part). Turn AutoLive Off An LED light, next to the Go button is lit when you are in AutoLive mode. AutoLive LED Make sure AutoLive is off by unchecking AutoLive in the Switch menu. A dialog box is shown informing you that AutoLive is off and transitions must be made using the Go button.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Multiple Changes The benefit of having AutoLive off is that you can make several changes first and then have them occur all at the same time. To do this, first verify that AutoLive is off. Click Sample Title in layer 1, click Blank Shot in Layer 2, and click the Ripples Shot in Layer 3. Click the Go button (or Command+G) to make the Ripples and Sample Title shots live at the same time.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Select Preview from the Layout menu. A preview window is displayed to the left of the Live Broadcast window. Click the River shot on Layer 3. The River shot is displayed in the Preview window. The Preview windows uses a green LED light to identify it. The Live Broadcast window uses a red LED. When shots are selected they display a green or red LED to indicate selection for preview or live broadcast.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Click the Go button to make the River shot live. Click Blank Shot in Layer 1 to remove the title from the ripples shot. Click Go button Click Blank Shot Note: Taking a shot live will set the Master volume slider to the value of the Preview volume slider.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Click the Go button again to make the Ripples Shot live. Notice that the Ripples and River shots LED’s have change color because the Preview and Live windows exchanged images. This lets you know what your last live window looked like as you prepare your next shot in the Preview window.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots You create shots for use in broadcast presentations. Shot editing enables you to make shots you need for your broadcast. Shots can be configured in different ways. Some shots have only titles and some just a logo, others may have only a picture. When you broadcast you are choosing -- in real time -- the shot you want to display. Note: Before you start this tutorial, create a new tutorial document by selecting Create Document Tutorial from the Help menu.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots The Shot Editor window has three main areas: Shot Preview, Configuration Area, and Source Layers. Shot Preview Configuration Area Source Layers Shot Preview This area shows exactly what this shot looks like to your viewers when you take this shot live. Configuration Area This is where you make changes to the content of the shot, and set its parameters. The configuration area changes appearance depending on the selected Source Layer.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Source Layers The bottom left part of the Shot Editor window lists the sources that make up your shot. Source Click on the Logo icon (source) in the Configuration Area. Notice that the Logo is displayed in the Shot Preview area. Click the Ripples icon (source) and the Preview switches to Ripples. This is how you change the source media for this layer in the shot. Template Window The Template window icon is located in the controls bar in the middle of the window.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots portion to it. Two different sources can be assigned to A and B, but for now only A is assigned (with the Ripples source): Sources in Wirecast can be assigned either A, B or C in the Source Layers list. To change the assignment, click the A (or B or C) icon and make a selection. This makes choosing a new template much simpler because Wirecast automatically positions the correct sources on screen.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots For example, to change the media for the source that is identified as B, select the source identified as B, then click the River icon in the Configuration area.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Titles STUDIO You can also add a title to a shot.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Select the title template called Blue Banner 3 (items are not listed alphabetically) and your preview adds the title: Select Blue Banner 3 Blue Banner 3 displayed Next, click the T icon in the Attributes bar to enable text editing: Click T icon Wirecast User Guide | 154809 53
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Type text into lines 1 & 2 to display it in the preview window: Text lines displayed Type two lines of text Effects/Motion Positioning Objects The sources in a shot can be positioned anywhere on the screen. Make sure Blue Banner 3 is selected. Click the Effects icon in the Shot Editor. Select Blue Banner 3 Click the effects icon Though the title element is initially placed in the bottom middle of the Preview screen, it can be moved anywhere.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots also move the title to an edge, corner, or center by clicking on one of the repositioning buttons in the configuration area: Click a button to move an element You can also resize or rotate the title. To resize the title (while respecting aspect ratio), hold the Command key down while moving the mouse vertically. To resize (independent of the aspect ratio), hold the Command key and the shift key down while moving the mouse vertically and horizontally.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Motion for Objects All objects (including the title) can have motion assigned to them. Click the Motion tab, to open the Build-In/Build-Out configuration panel: Click the Motion tab Build In / Build Out configuration panel Motion only occurs during a transition (when you click Go, or click a shot in AutoLive mode). Motion defines how to add (Build-In) or remove (Build-Out) a shot element. There are two forms of Motion: 1.
Tutorials Tutorial 3: Broadcasting To see this behavior in action, you must go back to the Main window and trigger the Build In action. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Close the Shot Editor window (optionally) by clicking the X in the corner of the window. 2. In the Main window, make sure Smooth transition is selected. 3. Click on the Blank Shot, then click the Ripples shot (recently edited). Notice that when the Title appears it comes in from the left.
Tutorials Tutorial 3: Broadcasting 0 to 999 seconds. However, greater delays require greater memory use. The amount of memory used is displayed when you enter the amount of delay. 7. Click OK. Select Bambuser Select an encoder Enter user name Click Authenticate and enter password Select Channel To stream your presentation, click the Stream button at the top of the Main window. Click Stream Click Record If you have not already selected a destination and logged into it, a dialog box displays.
Tutorials Tutorial 3: Broadcasting If the connection is ever broken, the green bars are reduced to a single red bar, then immediately a no connection icon is displayed in place of the bars. No connection icon When the connection recovered, the no connection icon is replaced with the green bars. Click Stream again to stop streaming. You can also record your broadcast by clicking Record.

Adding Media Introduction In addition to live video from your cameras, Wirecast enables you to work with media created outside of Wirecast. This section introduces some common media types you can use with Wirecast. There are three ways to add media to Wirecast: 1. Drag & drop into a new shot. The simplest way to add media to a shot is to drag & drop the media directly into the Shot List in the Main window. 2. Drag & drop into an existing shot.
Adding Media Keynote Movies Some GIF images use transparency for much of the image. However, near the edges of the visible data, transparency cannot be used. This happens quite often when there is a shadow near the edges of the visible data. The author of the GIF often assumes a certain background color (white, for example) and that color becomes embedded in the actual image. When Wirecast displays these types of images, the edges of the visible data shows the background that was saved in the GIF.
Adding Media Supported Codecs Windows Media Windows Media Files (WMV and WMA) are not supported by Wirecast. The solution is to convert the media into a different type, such as MPEG-4. Real Media Real Media Files (.RM) are not supported by Wirecast. The solution is to convert the media into a different type such as MPEG-4. Supported Codecs Shown below is a list of supported video and audio codecs.

Shot Editor Shot Editor Layout Shot Editor Layout The Shot Editor is comprised of four major sections: Preview Area, Source List, Attributes Toolbar, and the Attributes Editor Panel. Preview Area Attributes Toolbar Source List Attributes Editor Panel The preview area displays a preview of how the shot looks. As you edit a shot by changing its attributes, visual changes are displayed in the Preview area. The Source List is a list of sources (live sources, images, and title banners) currently in the shot.
Shot Editor Sources Sources Sources are specific resources made available to Wirecast that include configuration settings. These sources can be titles, live camera feeds, graphics, etc., and they are incorporated into shots used in a broadcast. You can place up to seven sources in a shot, where they are placed as layers that reside in front or in back of each other. Templates Wirecast also provides pre-built source sets, called templates, which you can add to your source list.
Shot Editor Sources Wirecast displays a Template window with two tabs: Templates and Virtual Sets. Click the Templates tab and select the template you want to use, then click Apply. Select Angled In Click Apply The Preview has changed in the Shot Editor window, and now shows the Ripples image on the Left side. This is because the template selected has an A and a B portion to it.

Shot Editor Shot Editor Media Panel Shot Editor Media Panel The Shot Editor Media Panel provides a library of your shots, enabling you to easily assign media to a given source. You can assign three types of media to a source: Live Feeds, Media Files, and Title Banners. The Media Panel displays each category separately, making it easier to categorize and identify your media.
Shot Editor Shot Editor Media Panel Media File Sources Click the Media Files button (document icon) to display, manage, and select your filebased media sources. Media files include: video and audio files, video-only files, audioonly files, and raster images (TIFF, JPEG, PNG, etc.). Media files are created outside of Wirecast using media editing tools, then are added to the media list for easy access during broadcasting.
Shot Editor Shot Editor Effects Shot Editor Effects The Effects Panel enables you to adjust the location of sources and configure opacity, matte, aspect ratio, and scaling as needed. To open the Effects Panel, click the Configure button (2nd button in the toolbar). Clicking the position buttons (arrows) enables you to quickly change the position of the media in the preview display.
Shot Editor Shot Editor Effects Opacity The opacity control is a slider bar on the Effects Panel. Opacity controls how much you can see through the media. As an object becomes less opaque, it becomes more transparent Note: If you want to turn off the media altogether, do not set opacity to zero since this still uses CPU cycles. Instead, you should turn off the visibility of the source. Opacity control Matte A matte is an image that is used to define the opacity of another piece of media.
Shot Editor Shot Editor Effects Aspect Ratio The Respect Aspect Ratio is located under the Matte menu on the Effects Panel. When checked, the source retains its aspect ratio when its size is changed. Some sources do not allow you to set this option. Aspect Ratio control Reposition Buttons The are three repositioning buttons on the Effects Panel: Reset Position, Scale To Fit, and Horizontal Flip. Click the Reset Position button to reset the media to its original position, size, and rotation.
Shot Editor Shot Editor Cropping Shot Editor Cropping The cropping control enables you to cut off unwanted portions of an image. To open the cropping control window, click the cropping control button. There are four sliders and four text boxes used to control cropping. Select an image, then slide the slider until the selected side of the image is cropped as needed. Notice that as the slider is moved, the value in the text box changes. This value is the number of pixels that have been cropped.

Broadcasting Introduction Note: Wirecast will not prevent your computer from entering sleep mode. Therefore, to ensure uninterrupted streaming, you should disable sleep mode on your computer while using Wirecast. Note: To avoid a decrease in video quality, Wirecast should not be used at CPU usage above 80%. See the Telesteam Web site for suggested configurations.
Broadcasting Canvas Size Canvas Size The first menu item in the Output menu is Canvas Size. When Output > Canvas Size is selected, a drop-down menu with various canvas sizes is displayed allowing you to select the canvas size you want. You can also select Auto. This automatically sets the canvas size to the highest resolution that was selected when the encoder was chosen.
Broadcasting Virtual Camera Keep in mind that resizing down is good but resizing up reduces quality. As a rule, you should try to keep your resolution as constant as possible from source to output. There is no benefit from using an HD camera if you’re only broadcasting a low resolution stream. This only increases the work your computer must do without any increase in output quality.
Broadcasting Output Settings Note: After selecting Virtual Microphone, you must re-start Wirecast to enable Virtual it’s operation. Note: Virtual Microphone can only be installed during Wirecast installation. Output Settings To configure output settings select Output > Output Settings. When the dialog box displays, select a destination and click OK to open the Output Settings window. Select Destination Click OK You can also click More to display a list of all available destinations.
Broadcasting Configuration The Output Settings window displays the destination you selected. Each destination window has a unique set of controls including a way to authenticate your connection. Multiple Output Settings Wirecast enables you to specify many output settings for your presentation. This means you may configure Wirecast to broadcast multiple data rates simultaneously, or even broadcast and record with different encoders at the same time.

Encoder Presets Introduction STUDIO Wirecast supports a wide variety of encoders (also known as codecs). An encoder is a program that compresses the audio and/or video output of Wirecast for broadcast. Without an encoder, the uncompressed data is too large to successfully broadcast across a network. This is why encoders are so important. The settings for encoders range from simple to very complex. Because of this, Wirecast offers presets of the most common settings for encoders.
Encoder Presets The Encoder Presets Window Creating New Presets The default encoder presets cannot be changed. However, you can make a copy of any preset, modify it as needed, and save it under a new name. You can refer back to the default presets at any time since they are never modified. To create a new preset, you must make a copy of an existing preset.
Encoder Presets MainConcept H.264 MainConcept H.264 STUDIO To modify a MainConcept H.264 preset, follow these steps: 1. Open the Encoder Presets window. 2. Select an encoder preset from the Encoder Presets menu. Select a preset Select Main Concept H.264 Note: To use a newly created preset (See Creating New Presets). 3. Check the Video Encoding checkbox. When checked, the video for your broadcast is encoded. When unchecked, a blank video screen is provided.
Encoder Presets MainConcept H.264 compresses the video to approximate this target. However, at different times during your broadcast the bit rate may be higher or lower than the target rate. 9. Select an encoder profile from the Profile menu. Three profiles are provided: Baseline, Main, and High. The Baseline profile is commonly used in mobile applications. It is also used in other applications which operate with limited processing power, storage capacity, and/or bandwidth.
Encoder Presets MainConcept H.264 15. Select the number of channels: Mono or Stereo. Mono uses less bandwidth than stereo, but stereo is more pleasing to the listener. 16. Select the audio bit rate, in Kbits (1000 bits) per second, from the Target Bit Rate menu. This is the target bit rate of your audio. Higher numbers provide better quality. The connection speed of your audience is a significant factor in determining your target bit rate. The encoder compresses the audio to approximate this target.
Encoder Presets x264 x264 STUDIO Note: The x264 implementation of the H.264 standard results in better quality and lower CPU usage for any given bitrate, but at the cost of higher memory usage. The default implementation is based on the Mainconcept codec and uses less memory. To modify a Flash x264 preset, follow these steps: 1. Open the Encoder Presets window. 2. Select an encoder preset from the Encoder Presets menu.
Encoder Presets x264 7. Select the desired frames per second (FPS) of your broadcast. This value is a target value for the encoder and the exact value is not guaranteed. 8. Enter the average bit rate in Kbits (1000 bits) per second. This is the target bit rate of your video. Higher numbers provide better quality. The connection speed of your audience is a significant factor in determining your target bit rate. The encoder compresses the video to approximate this target.
Encoder Presets x264 second range. When Keyframe Aligned is enabled, absolute timestamp is also enabled. 15. Check (optionally) the Timecode Every checkbox and enter the number of frames between timecodes. Wirecast can generate timecodes embedded in the flash stream. If a frames value of zero is entered, the timecode is never sent. Wirecast sends metadata along with the frames. This data looks like an ONFi call. Various timecodes and timestamps are also sent with the stream. 16.
Making Great Presentations Introduction These topics provide helpful information about how to prepare for creating great presentations. Topics Overview High Quality Audio Good Lighting Broadcast Settings Overview There are many ways to make a good live event even better. But this appendix focuses on two main things to remember about video streaming: • High Quality Audio Input Great looking video with poor audio input appears unprofessional.
Making Great Presentations High Quality Audio High Quality Audio Audio has an artistic aspect to it. You can make a great live event even better by remembering to focus on a few details. Here are some suggestions on producing clean audio. • Use a Good Microphone Though this may sound obvious, a good microphone can make a huge difference. Most DV cameras have an audio input for an external microphone. Use this, whenever possible, instead of the built-in microphone that comes with the camera.
Making Great Presentations Good Lighting • Beware of having too much light on your subject. If your subjects are people and you must use a lot of light, use make-up to compensate for the overly bright lighting. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but you must choose how much effort you want to go through to make a good live event. If your lighting balance is excellent, you will can avoid make-up on your subjects.
Making Great Presentations Broadcast Settings Broadcast Settings Once you have good video and audio coming into Wirecast, the final item of importance is make sure the Broadcast Settings are configured correctly for your presentation. Though there are many broadcast parameters to modify, there are three that are the most important: bandwidth, motion, and encoder settings. Bandwidth The first item of importance is knowing how much bandwidth is available.
