How media is stored in a Wirecast document

Wirecast stores a path to your media in the Wirecast document.

This means if you move media around, Wirecast will no longer be able to find the original media.

If media has been moved, you may use the Reassign Media dialog to specifically point to the new media location.

Keep your document and media together

Wirecast does keep track of the "relative" path to your media.

This means if you you have a piece of media in the same directory as the document, and you move both the document and media to a new position, Wirecast will still find the media.

In addition, if you store all of your media in a folder that is in the same directory as your document, then Wirecast will be able to find the media if you move the document and the directory containing the media. This is akin to the very common practice of using an "images" directory for HTML pages.

For example, here using this sample directory tree:

	MyWirecastDocs
		Presentation1
			presentation.wcst
			image1.jpg
			MediaDirectory
				movie1.mov
				image2.jpg
					

You could move the directory "Presentation1" to a new location and when you open presentation.wcst, Wirecast will find the 3 pieces of media: image1.jpg, movie1.mov and image2.jpg.
