Wirecast™
Version 3.5.8
 Edit: Scene — Channels

Definition

A channel is a place where media can exist in a Scene.

Think of them as place-holders in the scene for media.

How are channels used in Wirecast?

Today, channels are only used as place-holders in a Scene. In the future, this concept may be expanded.

Editing Channels

At the bottom area of the shot element area, you will find three elements "Channel A", "Channel B" and "Channel C".

When you select these shot elements, you are able to control the channel by using these panels:

  • Media -- the media on the channel (yes, another way to select the media)

  • Effects -- Some of the effects settings (not all of them)

  • Playback -- Playback settings

  • Motion -- How the channel moves

  • Chroma Key -- Chroma Key settings for the channel

Editing Restrictions

As of version 2 of Wirecast, it is not possible to edit some settings on the Effects panel.
