Titling Capabilities — Creating New Templates

Not supported using Wirecast user interface

The templates that Wirecast uses are not editable 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: www.varasoftware.com/downloads/Wirecast_User_Titles.zip

Simply download and put into the "Vara Software" directory in "Preferences"

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.
