Configuring Titles
The basic configuration for a media source is a title bar with text captions. Other
attributes are optional. As you configure the media, you can view your progress in the
Preview area at the top of the Shot Editor window. To configure a title, follow these
steps:
1. Select the Change Media icon in the Attributes toolbar. (Each time you create a new
source, the media icon is selected for you).
2. Click the T icon in the Media Panel to display titling templates. Scroll through the
icons and select the banner graphic you want to use for a title. Be sure to select a
title banner that is graphically designed to display the number of lines (1 to 4) you
intend to use for this source. Wirecast provides many templates, but you can also
create your own.
3. Click on the Visual Effects icon in the Attributes toolbar to adjust the position of the
banner, control its opacity and matting, and set other visual effects. Usually, no
adjustments are needed.
4. Click on the Crop icon in the Attributes toolbar to crop the banner graphic as
needed. As you adjust crop values, you can see the effect in the Preview window.
5. Click the Text icon in the Attributes toolbar and enter up to 4 lines of text to display
in the title. You can adjust paragraph formatting, font characteristics, and font color
using the buttons to the right of each line.
6. If you plan to chroma key the title, click the Chroma icon in the Attributes toolbar to
enable and set up the chroma key. See Shot Editor Chroma Key to learn how to
enable and configure chroma key settings.
7. Click on the Motion icon in the Attributes toolbar to set up your builds.
Note: For more detailed information on the above steps, see Edit Menu.
