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. Templates are pre-defined configurations used for displaying the
sources of a shot. The templates contain place holders, labeled A, B, and C, that define
where the sources in a shot are located. For example, you can select a two-source
template that displays one element in full-screen and another, superimposed in the
bottom left corner. When a different template is selected for the shot, the sources stay
the same but their locations are redefined.
Templates provide an easy way to add several sources to a shot, all pre-arranged and
organized in popular scale, angle, and position patterns (left/right, stacked,
superimposed, etc.). Some templates have a single place-holder, some have two, and
still others have three.
To add a set of template-based sources to your shot, click the Add Presets button to the
right of the Sources List title.
