Wirecast: Shots and Layers - Video 5

Описание: One of the unique features of Wirecast is the way it organizes media sources that are part of your production. The software uses two terms, Shot and Layer, to describe the interface on how it works.

Shots

Shots are the basis of any production. A shot is made up of some type of media, be it sound or video, and any associated settings. At the most basic level, a shot can be just one piece of media such as a camera feed, video clip, or graphics. However, the real power of a shot lies when multiple elements of media are combined. Media can be combined or "layered" for more complex and visually appealing shots. This could include a camera shot with a separate sound source, overlaid title, and/or additional graphics. A shot can even be a playlist of shots rotating on a preset basis.

Layers

(Overview of layering system inside of Wirecast)

To create rich multimedia shots, Wirecast uses the concept of layers. When you look at the Main Shot List window, you will see a total of five layer rows. To assemble a shot, you can select one source from each layer just by clicking on it. You cannot choose multiple shots in the same layer, but you can select one shot from each layer. All of them will be displayed in the Preview Window (or the Live Window if you are using Auto Live). They are displayed in a layered manner, with layer one being on top, five on the bottom, and the rest in between. If the source in layer one is opaque and fills the whole screen, you won't see the rest of the sources in the window. However, by resizing sources and using different types of overlays and transparencies, the five layers can create a visually rich shot. Layers will be covered in more depth in another chapter.

Layer Windows

By default, the Main Shot List and the five included layers are positioned at the bottom of the main window. However, for more flexibility, each layer can also be displayed in its own separate window. This may be helpful, especially to users with multiple or large screens. Any layer can be opened in a new window using the Window menu and selecting New Layer Window. Everything works the same way. You just get the option of moving your layer windows independently.

LED Indicators

Red and Green LED indicators in the Main Shot List can help you keep track of what sources are being used at any time. A green LED on a source indicates that it is currently selected and showing in the Preview window. A red LED indicates that it is presently in use for the main output and is shown in the Live window. If a source is in both the Live and Preview windows, it will be marked with a red LED.
