Wirecast™
Version 3.5.8
Usage Patterns — AutoLive and usage

Single-click vs Double-Click

Some users of Wirecast will want to "just click once" on a shot to make it become live.

Other users will want to make several changes to the broadcast before making them live.

AutoLive is designed to allow both styles within Wirecast.

AutoLive only affects the main window

The AutoLive feature was designed to make a "one-click" interface possible for those users who wish to simply click from shot to shot.

The Edit window (or other windows) are not affected by the status of AutoLive.

When AutoLive is on...

  • Just clicking on a shot in the main window will make it become "live".

  • The Go button becomes less useful.

  • Command-Control-Click makes load a shot into preview but does not make it live (see "Temporary Toggle" below)

When AutoLive is off...

  • Just clicking on a shot in the main window will only load it in the Preview.

  • The Go button becomes imperative.

  • Command-Control-Click makes the clicked on shot immediately live (see "Temporary Toggle" below)

Temporary Toggle

Sometimes you may want to very temporarily toggle (turn on and off) the AutoLive state.

If you hold down the command and control keys at the same time, AutoLive will temporarily toggle.

This enables you to very quickly switch AutoLive on and off for one action (say, a mouse-click).
