Wirecast™
Version 3.5.8
Edit: Motion — Overview

Accessing the Motion Panel

The Motion panel is available when you are editing a shot and you have selected one of the following shot elements: Title, Foreground, Background, or Channel A,B,C.

In the example shown below, we are editing the "Ripples" shot and have selected Motion for the Foreground element.

Motion only occurs for Smooth transition

Wirecast only ever performs motion when you are performing a "Smooth" transition.

If you are performing another transition, the Motion settings are ignored.

Build In and Build Out

There are two types of motion:

  • Build In -- occurs when the element is entering the Live broadcast

  • Build Out -- occurs when the element is leaving the Live broadcast

Motion only occurs when the object needs to enter or leave the Live Broadcast

If you have two shots which have a Foreground, and the media in the Foreground is the same, then a "Smooth" operation is performed between the foregrounds. The Motion is not performed.

For example, if the logo.png is positioned in the top left in the old shot, and it's in the bottom right in the new shot, then when you make the new shot Live, the logo.png will actually smooth from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner. The Build-In and Build-Out are ignored.

However, if you have two shots which have a Foreground, but the media is different, then the Build-Out will be run for the old shot, and the Built-In will be run for the New shot.
