How Do I Add Media, GFX, and Commercials To Wirecast?

Introduction

There are two ways that one may want to add video and images to Wirecast, as a layer of an existing shot and as a new shot. We will start by going through how to add an image as a layer of an existing shot and then cover how to add media as a new shot.

Adding an Image to an Existing Shot

First, select the shot you want to add the image to, then open the Shot Editor Panel.

To add your image, click the plus button, and the add layer dialog box should appear. Then, press the 'Add Media' button at the bottom left corner of the dialog box and select your image.

Additionally, you can drag and drop files into the list of shot layers to add them.

Adding media as a New Shot

Adding a media file as a shot rather than a layer is almost the same.

To add media as a new shot, press the plus button on the desired layer and follow the steps detailed above. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files to the Shot Selection area, and a new shot will automatically be created with that media.
