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.

Decompress this file and copy the XML and PNG files to:

C:\Users\[UserName]\My Documents\WirecastTitles.

The next time you launch Wirecast, the user titles will be available. Any media used by

these templates must exist in the same template folder. For example, if

user_scoreboard.png is used in one of the example templates, it must be located in the

WirecastTitles directory.

Other Media

Any media used by these templates must exist in the same template folder. For

example, if user_scoreboard.png is used in one of the example templates, it must be

located in the WirecastTitles directory.

Editing XML Files

There is an XML file called description.xml which describes all of your titles. Edit it to

add, create, or delete titles. Read the header of the XML file for a list of rules and

descriptions. Backup the file before editing because syntax errors cause Wirecast not to

parse the file.
