When shots are created, they are assigned to a specific layer. They exist on that layer
until they are moved or deleted. (See Layers.)
Resizing the Shot Icons
You can resize the shot icons on any layer by clicking the up or down arrow on the left
side of the layer window. Click the up arrow to make all the icons larger; click the down
arrow to make them smaller. Clicking the down arrow when the shot icons are in their
smallest state causes the layer window to become hidden.
To show a layer window, click the side arrow that is displayed.
Layers
Wirecast allows you to put shots on any of five different layers. Layering shots enables
Wirecast to merge them together, from back (lowest layer) to front, to form a single
visual image during broadcast.
When Wirecast first opens, two of the five layers of shots are displayed. You must scroll
down (or expand the window) to see the other three layers.
