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. This mode is very useful for those users who want to set up all of their shots
at once and then single-click them as they run their presentation. But the disadvantage
of this single-click method is that you can only see one shot change at a time. Once you
click a shot, your viewers also see it (with no preview of how it looks on your part).
Turn AutoLive Off
Turn AutoLive off by unchecking AutoLive in the Switch menu. A dialog box is shown
informing you that AutoLive mode is off and transitions must be made using the Go
button. Click OK in the dialog box to continue.
Try clicking the Ripples and River shots. Nothing happens because AutoLive mode is
off. Now click the Ripples shot and click the Go Button. The Ripples shot is taken live in
the Broadcast area. Click the River shot and, as expected, nothing happens. Click the Go
button and River shot becomes Live.
