Wirecast™
Version 3.5.8
Titling Capabilities — Creating New Templates

Not supported using Wirecast user interface

The templates that Wirecast uses are not edit-able within Wirecast.

A no user interface solution

Despite a user interface not existing for templates, you may create new ones yourself.

Wirecast looks in your preferences directory for the directory "Vara Software". Inside this directory, Wirecast looks for "Wirecast_User_Titles". It is here you can put your own titles.

Examples

An example Wirecast_User_Titles directory exists on our server: http://www.telestream.net/downloads/wirecast/titles/Wirecast_User_Titles.zip

Download this file, decompress it, and then put it in the "Vara Software" Folder in Preferences, or as: {home directory}/Library/Preferences/Vara Software/Wirecast_User_Titles

Getting oriented

There is an XML file called "description.xml" which describes all of your Titles.

You edit this file to add/create/delete your Titles.

Other Media

Any media used by these templates must exist in the same folder. For example, we use "user_scoreboard.png" in one of the example templates and that is included in the Wirecast_User_Titles directory.

Editing the XML file

Please read the header of the XML file for a list of rules and descriptions.

Make backups of this file before editing as simple syntax errors will cause Wirecast to not parse the file.
