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 Tutorials Two Ways to Use this Application Using AutoLive Main Window Layout Editions and Options Wirecast is available in multiple editions.
Introduction Tutorials Options Wirecast Standard provides support for multiple cameras and inputs, selected Blackmagic, Viewcast Osprey and Matrox Multi capture cards and LiveU video-overcellular backpack. Users can broadcast their computer desktop (including computer audio) using Desktop Presenter. Other key features include chroma key support, 3D graphics, titles, transitions and up to 35 layers of live compositing. Additionally, you can use HDV when you purchase an HDV option license.
Introduction Two Ways to Use this Application Presenter Is Operator In this mode of operation, the person conducting the presentation simultaneously operates Wirecast. Here are some suggestions for using Wirecast when you are both the presenter and operator: • Keep it simple Set up Wirecast to make it easy for you to be the operator and the presenter. Set up your logo and titles so that you need to make very few changes during your presentation.
Introduction Using AutoLive 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. The AutoLive feature is designed to offer a single-click operation for those users who want to simply click from shot to shot. The Edit window (or other windows) is not affected by the status of AutoLive.
Introduction Main Window Layout Main Window Layout Wirecast is designed to be immediately usable with a few mouse clicks. However, after you understand more about how Wirecast works, you’ll probably want more flexibility. Wirecast enables you to select which functions are displayed in the Main window. Most of these functions are added or removed from the main window using the Layout menu.
Introduction Main Window Layout Preview Preview displays what the broadcast looks like if you click the Go button. This is only useful when AutoLive is off. To display Preview, click the Layout menu and select Preview. Preview window Master Audio The Master Audio panel enables you to control the output volume level, mute audio output, and mute the line-out feed. To display Master Audio, click Layout > Master Audio.
Introduction Main Window Layout The Master Mute button controls the mute of the master audio (what your viewers hear). Even when you mute the output, the encoder still generates audio but it is silent. If you don’t want to broadcast audio, modify the Encoder Presets to not process audio through the encoder. The Line-Out Mute button controls what you hear locally. When line-out is mute, audio is not sent to your headphones or speakers, but your viewers still hear it.
Introduction Main Window Layout Wirecast displays the following statistics: • FPS Frames per second This value is controlled by the video part of your currently selected Encoder Presets. However, most encoders use this value as a target, not an exact limit. If this value consistently drops well below your target FPS, consider using a lower-quality video output to lower the bandwidth. • CPU Usage (percentage) This represents the current load on your CPU.
Introduction Main Window Layout Layer Panel To open the Layer Panel, select Layer Panel from the Layout menu at the top of the Main window.
Introduction Main Window Layout Here is what the Main Window looks like with the Layer Panel open: Layer Panel Layer Windows You can open the Shot List in a separate window. Select Window > New Layer Window to display the windows you can open. The figure below illustrates the Master Layer 1 window when you open it as a separate layer: 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 to your viewers (or records to disk). The Shot List, in the lower half of the window, displays the shots available for broadcast: Live Broadcast area Shot List Ripples shot What Is a Shot? Wirecast uses the concept of a shot to construct presentations. A shot contains media, along with the settings for that media. In its simplest form, a shot contains one piece of media such as a photo or a video clip.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Transitions and Go Button 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 Broadcast Area where three kinds of transitions are shown: Cut, Smooth, and Bowstring. When Cut is selected, transitions are immediate. When Smooth is selected, transitions fade in (as demonstrated above).
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts transition in Slow mode, it occurs slower than normal. When faster transitions are selected, the icon changes to display a rabbit. Go Button The Go Button (or Ctrl+G) enables you to make a transition occur at any time. Clicking the Go button does nothing when Wirecast is in its default mode of AutoLive, except to update a live shot if you have made changes to it using the Shot Editor.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts To open the Layer Panel, select Layer Panel from the Layout menu at the top of the Main window.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Layers are displayed in a particular order: Master Layer 1 is on top, Master Layer 2 below it, Master Layer 3 below Layer 2, etc. This tutorial, so far, has been operating on Master Layer 3. Layer Panel Master Layer 3 Now select Master Layer 2 by clicking it. Each shot is assigned to a particular layer, so when you switch layers you only see the shots that are on that layer.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Click on the shot named Logo. Notice that the Logo fades into the top-right corner of the Live Broadcast area: Layers can also be made invisible by unchecking the checkbox for that layer. Unchecking Master Layer 2 causes the Logo to be removed from the Broadcast area. Uncheck to make layer invisible Re-check the Master Layer 2 check box and the Logo reappears.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Auto Live Note: Before you start this section, please make sure that all layers are visible (all layer check boxes are checked), and that you are on the Master 3 Layer, which shows Ripples and River shots. So far in this Tutorial, Wirecast has been running in AutoLive mode. What this means is that any change you make on the Main window is automatically made live in your Broadcast.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Note: When AutoLive is off, you must always click the Go button (or press the Ctrl+G keys) to display the selected shot in the Broadcast area. 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, verify that AutoLive is off and click the Ripples shot (you should still see River in the Live window). Now click Master Layer 1 in the Layers Panel and click Sample Title.
Tutorials Tutorial 1: Basic Concepts Select Preview from the Layout menu. The Left side of the Main window is the Preview area. Notice that it has a small green square with the letter P inside it. The Right side is the Live Broadcast area as before.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Turn off Master Layer 1 and Master Layer 2 by unchecking both checkboxes. This removes the logo and title from the Preview. Now click the Go button to transition the Preview into the Broadcast area: Tutorial 2: Editing Shots The first tutorial used only the Main window, and explained various ways in which you can use an existing shot. But shots can also be created and edited. This tutorial demonstrates how to edit your shots to meet your presentation needs.
Tutorials Tutorial 2: Editing Shots Shot Editor Overview Double click the Ripples Shot. This opens the Shot Editor window. Note: If you save a document with the Shot Editor window open, Wirecast remembers this and re-opens the edit window when the document is re-opened.
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 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 | 104730 45
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 Alt key down while moving the mouse vertically. To resize (independent of the aspect ratio), hold the Alt key and the shift key down while moving the mouse vertically and horizontally.
Tutorials Tutorial 3: Broadcasting 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. Build-In (add) Build-In motion occurs when the shot is added to the Live Broadcast display. 2. Build-Out (remove) Build Out motion occurs when the shot is removed from the Live Broadcast display.

Click Allow Access If a success code is displayed, you can ignore it and close the window. Ignore and close this window Note: If you do not have a YouTube account, click Sign Up (or go to www.youtube.com). 1. Select your YouTube event. 2. Select the format you setup for your YouTube event.
Tutorials Flash To YouTube QuickTime Streaming From the encoder presets menu, select one of the H.264 (QuickTime) encoders, then select a destination. Select encoder Select Destination Wirecast provides five destinations for QuickTime streaming: 1. Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server This talks to a QuickTime Streaming Server and uses the server to send the broadcast to users who view that server. (This is the default destination.) 2.
Tutorials Flash To YouTube Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server Since this is the most common method for QuickTime, you should always consider using this option for your broadcast. To use this feature, you must supply a host name and file location. You need to supply a user-name and password only if your server requires a login. This feature requires that you have access to a QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) or Darwin Streaming Server (DSS).
Tutorials Flash To YouTube Note: Windows Media options are only available when running on a Windows computer. Select encoder Select Destination There are two destinations available for Windows Media: 1. Network The stream is broadcast over the network, using either a server or your local computer. 2. Record to Disk If you want to save your broadcast you can use this option to record the stream to disk.
Tutorials Flash To YouTube Network-Pull from Server The Network-Pull from Server option turns your local computer into a mini Windows Media Server. This enables you to broadcast immediately from your computer, rather than through an ISP. There are, however, some limitations: 1. User Requirement You cannot have more than 50 users connected at any one time. 2. Bandwidth Requirement You must have enough bandwidth on your computer to supply all of your viewers. 3.
Tutorials Flash To YouTube Flash Streaming Select an encoder from the Encoder Preset menu. Wirecast can stream to several Flash Streaming Servers, including Flash Media Server (Adobe) and Wowza Streaming Server (Wowza). Also select a destination. Select encoder Select Destination When you configure Wirecast to stream using Flash, Wirecast displays a Flash queue bar in the main window. The Flash queue shows you how much data is currently buffered on your computer, waiting to transfer to the server.
Tutorials Flash To YouTube Address The address of the selected destination is obtained from your Flash Media Server administrator. Stream Each Flash stream requires that you enter the name of the stream. Open FMLE XML File Wirecast can load configuration files that have been created for Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE). Wirecast reads the RTMP Address and Stream Name from this file, but it does not read any other configuration information from the FMLE XML file (bit rates, codec configuration, etc.).
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 Shot List in the Main window. 2. Drag & drop into an existing shot.
Adding Media 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.
Using Titles Introduction Wirecast offers a wide variety of title banner templates to use in your broadcast. Adding a professional looking title is as simple as selecting a template and adding your text.
Using Titles Adding Titles Adding Titles To add a title to a shot, double-click the shot to open it the Shot Editor: Double-click a shot to edit Wirecast User Guide | 104730
Using Titles Adding Titles Wirecast displays the shot you selected in the Shot Editor window: Adding New Source To add a new source, click the plus (+) icon in the Sources Toolbar at the bottom-left corner of the Shot Editor window. Wirecast adds a new source entry, labeled [no media].
Using Titles Adding Titles Using the tools in the Attributes toolbar and the Media Panel, you can configure your source so it displays as requires: Change Media icon Visual Effects icon Crop icon Text icon Chroma icon Motion icon Config Media Settings Attributes toolbar T icon Configuring Titles The basic configuration for a media source is a title bar with text captions. Other attributes are optional.
Using Titles Modifying Titles Modifying Titles To modify the titles, you have to edit the shot. Double-click the shot to open the Shot Editor. Click the title attributes tool (T icon) in the Attributes toolbar. The title modification screen displays: Title Area Depending on the title source selected, you can modify up to four lines of information. Each line of text has its own justification, font, and font color settings.
Using Titles Placing Titles Note: The only items that Wirecast recognizes in the Font Panel are: Font Family, Typeface, and Size. All other settings are ignored by Wirecast Changing Font Color Click the font color icon to change the color of the font. A standard font color selection window is displayed. Choose the color you desire and click OK. Placing Titles The previous sections describe how to create and edit a title for an existing shot.
Using Titles Creating New Templates Creating New Templates The templates that Wirecast uses are not editable within Wirecast. However, you can create new templates yourself using any graphics creation tool and an XML editor. Example Download the example custom templates from Telestream at: http://www.telestream.net/downloads/Wirecast/titles/Wirecast_User_Titles.zip.

Using Logos Introduction When you perform a broadcast, you may want to include a company logo in your presentation. There are two ways you can do this in Wirecast: 1. Global Logo (logo is its own shot) In this configuration, you create a shot which has only a logo in it. The benefit of this configuration is that you can show the logo independently of all other shots. For example, you can choose to always show the logo in a corner of your broadcast display. 2.
Using Logos Global Logos 3. When the New Name dialog box displays, you can (optionally) rename the layer. 4. Add a new shot by selecting Edit > Add Shot. Edit the new shot by double-clicking the shot named New Shot: Double-click 5. When the Template window displays, select Fullscreen View and click Apply.

Broadcasting Introduction Before you can broadcast with Wirecast, you must configure your broadcast settings. Once configured, broadcasting is started by selecting Broadcast > Start/Stop Broadcasting > Start All. If you broadcast without configuring, Wirecast opens the Broadcast Settings window for you. 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.

Broadcasting Virtual Camera There is also a Custom option that enables you to set the canvas width and height. Set width and height Wirecast can manage a wide variety of input sources, enabling you to have several live camera sources. However, really high-quality video sources can cause more harm than good. For example, an HD camera feed into a Wirecast canvas set to HD resolution, then broadcast out in HD, requires a lot of work for the graphics processor.
Broadcasting Configuring Broadcast Settings Once you have selected an output resolution, select Start to make Wirecast output available to other applications on your computer. Some of the applications Wirecast can work with using virtual camera are: • Google+ Hangouts • Skype • GoToMeeting The Virtual Camera menu also provides two additional options: DirectShow Audio and Virtual Microphone. DirectShow Audio When selected, outputs DirectShow audio.
Broadcasting Configuration Multiple Broadcast Settings Wirecast enables you to specify many broadcast 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. You can also broadcast to multiple Flash destinations while recording to disk in QuickTime and Windows Media formats. At the top of the Broadcast Settings window is a list of the current settings.
Broadcasting Flash Queue (Flash Streaming) QuickTime Destinations There are five destinations offered with QuickTime: • Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server The QuickTime Streaming Server (or Darwin Streaming Server) resides on a second computer and acts as what is called a reflector. From within Wirecast, you send your broadcast to this one server and it, in turn, sends the broadcast to the many viewers that you have.
Broadcasting Encoder Presets The Flash queue displays how much data is currently buffered on your computer, which is waiting to transfer to the server. The meter displays how many seconds worth of data is in the queue. When the meter is full, there are 5 seconds worth of data in the queue. The more bars, the longer the queue (less is better). It is normal to see periodic flickering in the meter, especially if you are streaming near your data limit.
Broadcasting Encoder Presets Filter Click the Filter button to display a check list of encoder presets. Check the presets you want to display in the Encoder presets menu. Click Save when finished. Check presets Click Save New Click the New button to create a new encoder preset. Enter a name for your new preset and click OK. (See Creating New Presets). Enter name Click OK Edit Click the Edit button to modify an encoder preset. (See Creating New Presets).
Broadcasting WM-Push To Server More Click the More button to display a check list of destinations. Check the destinations you want to display in the Destination menu. Click Save when finished. Check destinations Click Save Windows Media Settings Wirecast offers several default presets. The first choice you need to make is whether you'll be using Flash, Windows Media, QuickTime, or some combination as the broadcast technology. This decision depends on what you expect your viewers to use.
Broadcasting WM-Pull From Server the bandwidth strain on the remote server. All you need is a good local connection to the internet to push to the Windows Media Server. Select a Windows Media preset Check Push to Server Configuration Settings Address Enter the Internet address of the Windows Media Server you use to broadcast. Publish Point Enter the name of the file that is put on the server, and that is used as part of the URL that your users use.
Broadcasting WM-Pull From Server This option turns your local computer into a mini Windows Media Server, enabling you to broadcast immediately. There are, however, some limitations: 1. User Requirement You cannot have more than 50 users connected at any one time. 2. Bandwidth Requirement You must have enough bandwidth on your Wirecast computer to supply all of your viewers. 3.
Broadcasting QuickTime Streaming Server Media Player, and enter a URL. For example, if your computer IP address is 192.168.0.24 and your port is 1755, use mms://192.168.0.24:1755. Check Pull from Server Port Number Enter the port on your computer to use as the broadcast port. This can be, effectively, any port number as long as it doesn't conflict with any existing ports on your computer. Be aware that if you have any firewall software installed, you need to enable the port entered here.
Broadcasting QuickTime Streaming Server To stream to a QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server, select an H.264 encoder and select Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server as the destination: Select an H.264 encoder Select Announce to Quicktime Streaming Server. Host Name Enter the name (or IP address) of the host computer that is running your streaming server. File Location The streaming server uses a file on the server to contain the specific settings for the stream.
Broadcasting QuickTime Built-in Server Actions When you have Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server selected, the gear icon has these three actions: • Open in QuickTime Player This opens the stream in QuickTime Player. This is a handy shortcut and saves you from typing “rtsp://…” into QuickTime Player. • Save Movie This saves a QuickTime movie to disk that contains a reference to the configured stream. This Movie file is very small and tells QuickTime where to find your actual stream.
Broadcasting QuickTime Built-in Server viewers, you need use a hosted QuickTime Streaming Server which is selected from Destination > Announce To Quicktime Streaming Server in Broadcast Settings: Select Built-in Streaming Server File Location Enter the name of the file used by the streaming server that contains the settings for the stream. When you send your viewers a URL to use, this file name is a part of that URL. for example, if the File Location is my_stream and the Host Name is www.stream.
Broadcasting QuickTime Unicast view all your streams. QuickTime choose which stream to use based upon the users settings. This is a very handy way to broadcast multiple bit-rates at the same time. QuickTime Unicast Wirecast lets you broadcast to a specific computer. This is called unicast. To configure the broadcast settings for a unicast, follow these steps: 1. Select Unicast under the Destination menu. 2. Enter the address.
Broadcasting QuickTime Multicast 7. Click the Save button to save your settings. Select Unicast Enter Address Enter Video Port Enter Audio Port Save SDP file Click Save 8. Start your broadcast by selecting Broadcast > Start Broadcast in the Main window. QuickTime Multicast Wirecast lets you broadcast to your local network so that any computer on that network can view the broadcast. This is called multicast. To configure the broadcast settings for a multicast, follow these steps: 1.
Broadcasting QuickTime Multicast File dialog window. The SDP file must be given to the user to place on the computer that receives your broadcast. Your remote viewer must open the SDP file using QuickTime player. Note: Your multicast information is not stored in this file. Only QuickTime Streaming Server streams are saved to this file. 6. Save a Multi-stream Reference Movie (optionally present).
Broadcasting QuickTime Multicast provide a way to define uniqueness among all multicast data flowing over the network.

Setting Encoder Presets Introduction 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.
Setting 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.
Setting Encoder Presets Windows Media mobile applications. It includes all features supported in the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional features used for loss robustness (or for other purposes such as low-delay multi-point video stream compositing). The importance of this profile has faded somewhat since the definition of the Constrained Baseline Profile in 2009.
Setting Encoder Presets Windows Media The plus and minus buttons at the bottom enable you add or remove additional streams to your preset. 6. Select the Audio Format. This is a pre-configured audio encoder setting. 7. Enter the Video Size. This sets the width and height of your resulting broadcast. Every stream should have the same aspect ratio. For example, if 640x480 is used, it has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Therefore, all other streams should also have a 4:3 aspect ratio. 8.
Setting Encoder Presets QuickTime Video QuickTime Video To modify a QuickTime video preset, follow these steps: 1. Open the Encoder Presets window. 2. Select a QuickTime preset from the Encoder Presets menu. Select a QuickTime preset Note: To use a newly created preset (See Creating New Presets). Note: Select QuickTime from the Output Format menu. 3. Select the Video tab. 4. Check the Video Enabled checkbox. When checked, the video for your broadcast is encoded.
Setting Encoder Presets QuickTime Audio 9. Enter the height of your broadcast video. 10. Select the quality of your broadcast by adjusting the slider between least and best. Generally, encoders make a trade-off between higher quality (greater bandwidth) and speed (CPU usage). Note: If the Quality scale is greyed-out, quality is a fixed value. 11. Select the desired frames per second (FPS) of your broadcast. This is a target value for the encoder and is not guaranteed. 12.
Setting Encoder Presets QuickTime Audio 3. Select the Audio tab. Select a QuickTime preset Select the Audio tab Note: To use a newly created preset (See Creating New Presets). 4. Check (optionally) the Audio Enabled checkbox. When checked, the audio for your broadcast is included. When unchecked, audio is absent from your broadcast. This is the preferred method of producing video-only broadcasts because the presence of silent audio uses bandwidth. 5. Select the encoder to use. 6.
Setting Encoder Presets Flash H.264 Flash H.264 To modify a Flash H.264 preset, follow these steps: 1. Open the Encoder Presets window. 2. Select a Flash encoder preset from the Encoder Presets menu. Select a Flash preset 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. This is the preferred method of producing audio-only broadcasts. 4.
Setting Encoder Presets Flash VP6 capacity, and/or bandwidth. The Main profile is appropriate for general-purpose applications of broadcast media, such as high-bandwidth Internet broadcasting. 10. Check Key Frame (optionally) and enter the number of frames. A movie is a sequence of images and each image is called a frame. To compress video data, most encoders take a frame and make it a reference (also known as a key).
Setting Encoder Presets Flash VP6 1. Open the Encoder Presets window. 2. Select a Flash preset from the Encoder Presets menu. Select a Flash preset 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. This is the preferred method of producing audio-only broadcasts. 4. Select the VP6 encoder from the Encoder menu. 5.
Setting Encoder Presets Flash VP6 becomes harder for the encoder to distinguish the frame-difference information, especially if there is a lot of motion in the video. Another drawback is if your viewer’s computer misses a keyframe, the video is distorted until the next keyframe is sent. However, you can control how often the encoder makes a new keyframe by setting the number of frames. The more keyframes you broadcast, the more bandwidth required and less compression, but results in better quality video.

However, your changes only become Live when you specifically click Go (or press the Ctrl+G keys).
Using the 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.
Using the Shot Editor Sources 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.
Using the 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.

Using the Shot Editor Shot Editor Chroma Key White Clip Likewise, white areas are also sometimes keyed out when they should not be. The White Clip parameter controls how close the keying is toward white. For example, if the host has a white shirt on, you need to increase this value slightly so that the keying effect is not seen in his shirt. Adjust the White Clip (0 to 100) by using the slider. Getting a Good Key Probably the most important part of getting a good key is getting good source material.
Using the Shot Editor Shot Editor Motion data possible for keying. Wirecast warns you if High Quality Video is turned off when you turn on Chroma Keying.

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 Broadcast Settings ing. 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. The key in adjusting the lighting is to look at your subject and make sure they do not look washed out. • Watch professional events and learn from them. As you watch, notice the lighting instead of watching the program.
Making Great Presentations Broadcast Settings 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. Bandwidth is how much data you can broadcast from your computer. This depends on the speed of your network connection and the type of connection your viewers are using.
Hardware Recommendations Introduction These topics describes hardware requirements and features for use with Wirecast. Topics FireWire Universal Serial Bus (USB) High Definition (HDV) DV Cameras Sleep Mode S-Video & 2nd Display Configure Devices FireWire FireWire is a hardware protocol that you can use to connect devices (cameras, hard drives, etc.) to your computer.
Hardware Recommendations Universal Serial Bus (USB) computer, but they are often all connected to the same bus. You have to add a separate FireWire card to increase the bandwidth. Bandwidth Use If you have a hard disk connected to a FireWire hub and also have a camera connected to the same hub, it may appear to work but the bus can still become saturated. For example, when new email arrives and your email program accesses a file on your FireWire drive, it can cause FireWire saturation.
Hardware Recommendations DV Cameras Note: When working with HDV sources, you may find there is up to two seconds of delay from the video first being captured by the camera, to it showing up in Wirecast. This is a hardware limitation of the HDV connection and cannot be corrected by Wirecast. Many HDV cameras also have a lower resolution DV mode that, when used, will not have the HDV delay.
Hardware Recommendations Configure Devices Configure Devices Some devices (cameras, etc.) can be configured. Choose the device you want to configure from Configure Devices in the Media menu. Note: The configuration user interface is provided by the device maker. It is beyond the scope of this document to describe all of the features available for all devices. See the documentation provided with your device on how to configure it.
