It's not an inexpensive application by any means.

Wirecast was the answer, and now I'm a happy owner of Wirecast Pro (US$995). During the broadcast and recording of a podcast a while back, he did some tricks that totally amazed me, so I asked what he was using to produce the show. That's when I heard about Wirecast from friend and ace blogger Rene Ritchie of iMore. I needed something that would ease my duties while still offering video that was as good or better than what had been produced earlier. Since it's a one-man show, I don't have the luxury of having a technician running the software - I have to do it all by my lonesome. On occasion one of the apps would decide to crash (usually just as the show was going live), necessitating a quick "please stand by" tweet and a reboot of the iMac. Sure, it could handle it, but I often had issues switching gracefully between applications, cameras, and demonstrations. The YouTube upload gives the show a wider distribution, while Castfire is used to feed the podcast of the show.Īs you can tell from the second paragraph in this post, there were a lot of apps running on my iMac. When I have guests, they'd join me via a Skype video call and were brought into the video mix through CamTwist.Once the show went live, it was streamed through using Live Media Encoder and recorded locally to disk for upload to our CDN (Castfire) and to YouTube. I used the built-in FaceTime camera on my iMac for face shots and an IPEVO P2V low-resolution cam for shots of iPad and iPhone screens. In the past, I launched LineIn (sound), Soundflower (sound), BoinxTV (video), CamTwist (video), Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder (video), and a number of other apps that were used to capture video from other devices.
In this review, I'll describe some of the features of the latest version (4.1.3) of Wirecast Pro, and how it will be streamlining the production of the show.įor those of you who don't watch the show either live or in recorded form, let's start with a description of how it used to be done.

Over the past few weeks, I've been getting up to speed on using Telestream's Wirecast Pro for Mac to broadcast the weekly TUAW TV Live show.
