Wirecast User Guide | 154809
Wirecast automatically saves your preferences every time you make a change. The
changes are immediately applied.
Resetting Preferences
To reset your preferences, quit Wirecast and then delete the files located at:
~/Library/Preferences/Vara Software/Wirecast Preferences.
•
Or, you can use Support Assistant to reset preferences (see Send Support Information
under Help Menu).
Note: You should match the output to the canvas size as close as possible to preserve
video resolution and quality. For example, a 800x600 source results in significant loss
of quality if an aspect ratio of 640x480 is selected. Using 720x576, which is much
closer in size, helps preserve video quality.
General
General preferences enable you to setup the Wirecast environment.
Open Last Document on Startup
When checked, the last document you used is opened when Wirecast starts up.
Shot Editor Checkerboard
When checked, a checkerboard background displays in the Shot Editor to indicate an
area that is transparent. Checked is the default.
