Transitions Wirecast has three transition buttons that can be assigned any transitions
(cut, smooth, etc.) that Wirecast supports. The Switch menu lists the currently assigned
transitions by name. These three transitions can also be selected by pressing the
control key and either the 1, 2, or 3 key. (See Transition Controls to modify which
transitions appear in this menu.)
AutoLive Toggles (turns on and off) the AutoLive feature. It can also be toggled by
changing checkbox AutoLive in the Main window. AutoLive is a fundamental feature of
Wirecast which enables you to control how you make shots become part of the live
broadcast. (See AutoLive.)

New Desktop Presenter Launches the Desktop Presenter program. If Bonjour is not
installed on the computer running Desktop Presenter, you may need to manually enter
the TCP/IP address of that computer. If you want to add a Desktop Presenter before it is
available you can use this menu option to pre-configure your document. You can also
change the IP address to a Desktop Presenter in the Asset Manager dialog.
Show Asset Manager Displays devices that can be configured. Some devices (cameras,
etc.) may be configurable. For example, you can configure a USB camera to manually
change its focus, contrast, brightness, etc. Other devices have multiple inputs you can
choose (AlchemyTV Card, etc.). (See Using the Asset Manager.)
Note: The Configure Devices menu selection is present only if a device is connected
to Wirecast. 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.
