Create Replays In Allows replays to be created in master layers or playlists. You can still
move the shots to other layers at any time after they are created.
After Creating Replay Shot When checked, the Replay shot is displayed in the Preview
window. This allows you to set the In and Out points for the Replay shot rather than
having to open the shot editor to set them.
Activate Replay On You can choose to start the buffering of Replay (activate the
Replay system) manually, when you start recording, or when you start broadcasting.
The problem with Manually is that you may forget to turn on the buffering. So Record
and Broadcast options are provided to allow this to be automatic.
When Deleting Replay Shot When deleting a shot, you can choose to have Wirecast
ask (prompt) you if you want to keep recording, or just to keep recording without
asking you, or to just delete the recording.
Replay Shot Template Allows you to select an existing Replay shot to act as a template
for other Replay shots, or no template at all (by choosing None). For more information
see Replay Templates.
Use As Defaults Click this button to make all the settings you have made to be the
default used in all created Replay shots.
Replay Activation
To activate Replay, select Replay > Activate. When you do this, the Activate menu item
becomes Deactivate and several new buttons are added to the Wirecast main window:
Set Replay Endpoint and Create Replay Shot (same as selecting Replay > Create Replay
Shot).

live sources) in the Replay buffer on disk. The amount that is saved when the Create
Replay Shot button is pressed depends on what value was entered into the Default
Replay duration setting.
Start playing a clip (while Replay is activated), then click the Create Replay Shot button.
Since the Default Replay Duration is set at 30 seconds, a Replay shot of 30 seconds
(backward from when the Create Replays Shot button was pressed) is created. The new
