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.

However, you can also create a shot which has only title data. This is very useful if you

want to place the same title over several different shots or if you want to modify the

title independent of the shot you are choosing. But you must decide, based on your

type of broadcast, if you want your titles tied directly to specific shots or if you want

them to be independent. Wirecast seamlessly supports both methods -- even both

methods at the same time.

Seminar Title

You may want to broadcast a seminar and have the title of the seminar appear and

disappear while switching between several other shots or cameras. In this case, create a

shot which has only the title in it, enabling you to move this title to a Foreground layer.

In this configuration, you can bring the title in and out of your broadcast by selecting

between a blank shot and the title shot from your foreground master layer. By placing

the title in this separate layer, it keeps it independent of the all other shots you have

created.

Interview Title

If you are broadcasting an interview, the shot which contains the camera for the

interviewee may have a title in it. In this case, when you cut to the shot of the

interviewee, the title appears. When you cut to the person asking the questions, the

title does not appear because it is a different Wirecast shot.

Note: Since you can turn visibility of a title on and off inside the Shot Editor, you can

still turn the title on and off in the shot. To turn it off, make the shot live, then open the

Shot Editor. Click the shot icon and then click Go (or press Ctrl+G). To turn it back on,

click the shot icon again and click Go.
