![]() ![]() One way to set up a PIP would be to create one shot on a Main Shot Display layer that contains one Layer showing the live camera AND another Layer showing the slide/screenshot/other camera angle. There are a few ways good to create PIP shots in Wirecast. A PIP shot allows a speaker to show a slide or another camera angle, while also keeping their camera on screen. Picture-in-Picture or PIP is a great way to compose a shot that is informational or tutorial in nature. (See above screenshot) So when they want to turn the title on or off – – they switch between their 2 camera shots on Main Layer 3– turning the title on, or the title off. Then they will create another shot with JUST the camera (no title). Some people might create one shot that has Shot Layers of a camera and a Title. These Shot Layers will appear on this Shot EVERY time I switch to this shot on the Main Shot Display. In the screenshot below, I have added the Royal Title as a layer to this shot (which actually contains several layers – a graphic and 2 text layers). You can click the (+) to add a new layer to this shot in the Shot Layers panel. To do this, select your camera shot and open the Shot Layers panel to the left of the Preview window. ![]() So this allows you to overlay elements that can be added and removed independently.Įxample of using the Shot Layers for a TitleĪn alternative way to add a lower third title onto a camera is to add the title directly to the shot using Shot Layers. When you want to remove the lower third graphic, simply Clear Layer on Main Shot Display layer 2 and that graphic will disappear, but the camera shot will remain live. This would allow you to, for example, switch to a camera shot on Main Layer 3, then while that’s still live, turn on a lower third shot from Main Layer 2 (which will then be overlaid onto your camera shot from Main Layer 3). One typical set up using Main Shot Display layers would be to add logos on Main Layer 1, lower third titles on Main Layer 2, camera sources on Main Layer 3 and audio or microphones on Main Layer 4. ![]() At a high level, using the Main Shot Display Layers lets you composite shots on the fly, whereas using Shot Layers lets you create contained composites all in one shot.Įxample use the Main Shot Display layers for a Title There are good reasons to use one or the other to composite your shots, and generally, it’s going to come down to your preference. There are five (5) “Main Shot Display” layers that are located beneath the Preview and Live windows in the Wirecast UI.Īnd for each “Shot” on the Main Shot Display Layer, you can add additional “Shot Layers” in the Shot Layers panel to the left of the Preview window. This article will talk about some ways to think about setting up your Wirecast documents using layers so you can accomplish your live streaming goals. There are a lot of ways to set up your documents to create complex composite shots. The beauty of Wirecast is its flexibility. Or, you might have some computer audio you want your audience to hear, only when you make a particular screen capture shot live. ![]() For example – you might want a lower thirds graphic to appear on screen for just 30 seconds every time one of your cameras goes live. One of the most powerful features of Wirecast is the ability to composite very complex shots using different layers. ![]()
