WIRE-17640: Removed Syphon Inject from User Guide.
WIRE-17639: Fixed a bunch of cropping issues - including the Control key not working
WIRE-17633: We've removed Syphon Frame as a Source Option. Syphon depends on the OpenGL framework, (which Apple is in the process of deprecating), and as of version 14.0, we've moved Wirecast to the Metal framework, which is not compatible with Syphon.
WIRE-17630: Added a warning when you disconnect Rendezvous sources - so you don't accidentally disconnect people.
WIRE-17629: Removed use of the word "Master" in Wirecast and documentation in favor of Main Shot Bin and Main Audio Mixer.
WIRE-17627: Fixed drop shadows being upside down on macOS.
WIRE-17623: Fixed a YouTube authentication issue.

WIRE-17373: Auto-Canvas was sometimes reporting the wrong resolution.
WIRE-17343: Added a font face pop up to more accurately select font variations.
WIRE-17323: Fixed a confusing error that would show a Wirecast crash error upon opening.
WIRE-17315: The websocket connection to the server was closing unexpectedly when using a VPN service with Rendezvous. So now we add a periodic ping to keep the websocket connection alive.
WIRE-17304: Restricted Virtual Camera to only output from one document at a time.
WIRE-17303: Fixed a scaling issue where icons could be erroneously horizontally stretched
WIRE-17302: Input fields in Output Settings are no longer unresponsive following a single factor authentication failure.
WIRE-17291: Fixed a Fatal Application error that could occur when streaming
WIRE-17279: Fixed a crash that could occur if your document freaked out and got into a state where it wasn't ready for the next action. This could occur when attempting a screen capture when an audio driver is not installed, or you have shots programmed to an Elgato StreamDeck.

WIRE-17169: Added a notification when attempting to install on Windows 8.x. (Psst: It requires Windows 10 or higher).
WIRE-17164: Canvas Size limitations are now enforced when using custom presets.
WIRE-17150: If your document was saved with a layer off in a previous version of Wirecast, and opened in Wirecast 13, the layer would not appear. We found your missing layer and brought it home.
WIRE-17148/WIRE-17075: Fixed a rare crash when running the app in the background on macOS.
WIRE-17142: When sending live captions through our WebServices platform, certain platforms are not handling b-frames correctly resulting in garbled captions. To account for that, we added new "Cloud Captioning" encoding presets that turn b-frames off and increase bit rate (to account for inherent quality loss of turning off b-frames).
WIRE-17278: Now your encoding preset won’t spontaneously change after you create an event.
WIRE-17133: Add documentation for sources that can be used with ISO Recording.
WIRE-17126: Selected transition was not used when using Keyboard Shortcuts when AutoLive was enabled.

WIRE-17087: Fixed an error in the YouTube API caused by the reported user's region being unsupported
WIRE-17084: Facebook recently made changes to Groups that restricts any app from accessing certain features, such as the Live API, until an admin grants access to the app. We updated our error message for this so you might actually know what it means and what to do about it.
WIRE-17080: Increased the efficiency of data calls for Facebook scheduled events
WIRE-17065: Fixed an issue using audio interfaces with Rendezvous on macOS.
WIRE-17063: Improved resiliency when dealing with apps that feed us video timestamps that are off from the audio timestamps (e.g. JustWifiCam on iOS).
WIRE-17055: Fixed a crash that could occur while setting up a YouTube event
WIRE-16994: There were some unnecessary horizontal scroll bars on Windows that we removed. Now you won’t be tempted to scroll when you can’t.
WIRE-16973: Made some under-the-hood fixes to reduce CPU on Mac

WIRE-16825: Fixed a rare hang when exiting to Multiviewer while ingesting a BlackMagic source.
WIRE-16820: Added CPU data to the trace log on exit.
WIRE-16811: Added a manual configuration option for audio sample rate that will let you pick the value that matches your incoming source. (Note: you can only configure the audio sample rate when automatic format detection is disabled. We do this to prevent people (we won't name names) who don't know what they're doing, to set it to 196kHz - because they may think bigger is better - and then call support or get stuck because they don't understand what's happening. So, yeah. We're restricting this for your own good. When format detection is enabled, we assume the audio is 48 kHz.)
WIRE-16799: Crash when declining a macOS prompt to install Osaka font.
WIRE-16779: Fixed a crash that would occur when stopping two live streams to Twitter/Periscope.
WIRE-16778: Fixed an issue playing audio from WASAPI devices.
WIRE-16776: We've taken some extraordinary measures to ensure that web stream sources stay connected and don't freeze in Wirecast - even if they restart, end, enter an error state or we stop receiving data for any number of reasons. We now try our darnedest to reconnect.
WIRE-16768: Output Settings UI has some minor alignment issues on macOS.
WIRE-16763: Fixed a crash that could occur if you had a hotkey with no name, and you right-clicked a shot.
WIRE-16762: Fixed an issue that could occur when using a source that produces JPEG frames, on a computer that is not fast enough to decode them in real-time. The result was a backlog of frames that would cause the source's video to be delayed and out of sync with any live audio. (This could've also happened when deinterlacing video from a task source (though less likely since deinterlacing is relatively quick).
WIRE-16760: Wirecast was trying to use deselected/unused output destinations when Live Captions was selected. It won't do that anymore.
WIRE-16747: Fixed our copyright date in the About window.
WIRE-16745: Flash is dead. We're not going to warn you that it's not installed anymore.
WIRE-16713: Reconfigured NDI Output to avoid "clocking" the output which was intended to help file-based outputs but effectively slowed down real-time sources, resulting in for example, dropped frames at 1080p60.
WIRE-16694: Reconfigured NDI Output, which effectively improved several issues- one of which was an observed A/V sync issue on NDI Out.
WIRE-16684: Fixed an issue that cause no video from the Logitech B910 when using Motion JPEG.
WIRE-16643: The option to move a shot from a Playlist back to the Main Shot list… is back.

WIRE-16124: Another scaling-related fix: Certain templates are no longer skewed
WIRE-16020: Fixed it so that frames are no longer being dropped on certain transitions.
WIRE-15781: Now, modifying the canvas size does not cause the Multiviewer to stop updating.
WIRE-15729: Now, when an ISO/replay recording's source becomes unavailable, the recording stops and must be manually restarted. User is informed of the stoppage via the status bar.
WIRE-15632: Beta: Enabled multi-bitrate adjustments in webstream sources for better quality.
WIRE-15586: Fixed an issue that could cause latency to accumulate for certain Sources if they were in a playlist in the live canvas.
WIRE-15483: Fixed an audio popping issue when using Blackmagic source.
WIRE-15296: Fixed a doozie that caused Skype NDI sources to randomly resize.
WIRE-15217: Fixed an issue on Mac where Chroma key was not being applied correctly to media files.
WIRE-15213: Fixed an issue on Windows where you'd see flickering the first time you added Chroma Key to media file.
WIRE-15091: Adding a video clip to a Playlist causes the Scrubber Bar to remain indefinitely.
WIRE-14983: Fix very rare crash that could occur when activating a license on Windows.
WIRE-14633: Users are now prompted to install the Telestream Audio driver when adding a System Audio Capture shot on macOS.
WIRE-14511: We now require a subject to be entered in order to submit zip support file. Our Support department thanks you for that.
WIRE-14453: A longstanding issue fixed with all our scaling fixes - Sources should no longer need to be rescaled when added to a document.
WIRE-14277: Duplicate sources no longer show when adding an iOS camera source.
WIRE-13376: Now we update the Rendezvous Dashboard device list when a device is removed or reconnected
WIRE-12047: Updated the names of some of the properties for text shadow for more clarity.
WIRE-11406: Completely rewrote our text widget, which has greatly improved the quality of text scrolling.
WIRE-6042: Now we provide a warning in output settings if folder you're trying to save to doesn't exist.
Known Issues:
NOTE: As part of the fix for WIRE-17286, on BlackMagic devices, we now identify them via hardware ID instead of enumeration order. The fallout is that if you have a document that once referred to one piece of hardware it may fail to initially reference a different piece of hardware. The workaround is to use the asset manager to replace the references to the new hardware. Once done, that document should save your new sources as expected.

WIRE-16469: More under-the-hood improvements - we updated the Wirecast audio code to use AudioQueue and WASAPI APIs. The only user-facing change in this phase is that audio from multiple open documents will now be mixed together rather than only playing the audio from the topmost document.
WIRE-16467: We updated some wording for our Failed to Activate License warning, and included a link to our license reset tool.
WIRE-16464: When running Wirecast on a Windows machine where a monitor has > 100% scale, the text and graphics are now crisp and clean.

WIRE-16621: Fixed a long-standing annoyance where an extremely long RTMP stream key or name would get truncated and not saved correctly in a document.
WIRE-16614: We found a crash that could occur when closing a document after starting some recordings. We don’t know why you would ever do that, but we fixed it.
WIRE-16605: Put in a fix to alleviate some reported A/V sync issues that could occur when using multiple input sources.
WIRE-16595: On macOS we fixed an error that would occur if you started an ISO recording with an AVCapture video and audio source.
WIRE-16593: We updated YouTube’s branding.
WIRE-16551: Stock Media Warning message was unreadable when in dark mode
WIRE-16549: Rendezvous audio mixer now displays the correct meter values for sources that emit floating point audio (such as NDI) as opposed to 16-bit.
WIRE-16540: Fixed a missed translation in an Output Settings window.
WIRE-16539: Wirecast is no longer supported on Windows 7 after January 2020, so we now do not allow it to be installed on versions lower than Windows 10.

WIRE-16530: For those of us who don’t fully understand the purpose of the Monitor Mix Minus button – we have added a tooltip to help.
WIRE-16522: Bet you didn’t even catch the misspelling. Consoliated is not a word. And now you won’t see that non-word in our app. #embarrassing
WIRE-16519: Fixed an issue where cryptic placeholder strings were displayed in place of text in a navigation menu in several instances.
WIRE-16504 / 16212 /16507: Fixed numerous reported issues with the countdown clock – specifically where it would default to local computer time when stopped – making it impossible to pause the countdown.
WIRE-16499: Stinger transitions on Mac now work and maintain transparency for all framerates, including 25fps, which briefly forgot how to function.
WIRE-16497: Fixed a broken link in the Welcome to Wirecast window that pointed to a video, which you may have wanted to watch but couldn’t.

WIRE-16482: Layer 1 in the Main Shot Bin no longer disappears when switching shots using your shortcut keys.
WIRE-16480: If you were trying to bring in a shot from a remote computer that didn’t have much motion, via NDI– you might have noticed the shot would remain black. This was an NDI bug, which can be fixed by updating to NDI Tools v.4.
WIRE-16474: Fixed an issue where the audio Multi-Track Input Mapper would not show your source until you resized the window.
WIRE-16473/WIRE-16370: We updated all RTMP outputs to use our transport library, which fixed some issues caused by using a different library.
WIRE-16465: The inline audio meters used to incorrectly cause the Main Shot Bin to redraw if the meter reading was 0dB. That was a waste of resources, which we’ve corrected.
WIRE-16463: Drop shadows on text were disappearing or didn’t update properly. Fixed.
WIRE-16461: If you declined usage of a device (like a microphone), then later wanted to use that device, Wirecast would silently fail. Now we will nicely ask you if you still want to decline the device.
WIRE-16451: Updated Twitch and YouTube default bitrate presets to be 4Mbps to be more consistent with other destination defaults.
WIRE-16450: We also updated our destinations, so they default to x264 encoders.
WIRE-16428: When Wirecast is running on Wirecast Gear 110, 210, 220 or 230, live icons in the Main Shot Bin will be now be defaulted to off to conserve system resources.
WIRE-16419/16415: Removed a bunch of old, unused code. That’s all we’re going to say about that.
WIRE-16413: Now you can hot plug your X-keys device, and Wirecast will resume the connection seamlessly, rather than giving you the silent treatment.
WIRE-16406: On Mac, if you close your document while still streaming, the streaming indicator would remain in your Dock, confusingly indicating that a broadcast was still in progress. You now won’t see that. But really, not recommended to close your document while streaming.
WIRE-16390: Fixed an issue where the Twitter account selector box would be obscured or disappear in Output Settings after you had logged into Twitter, making it difficult to switch accounts.
WIRE-16383: Wirecast now properly detects if there is a network disconnection
WIRE-16377: You can now add a Cineform file into Wirecast without it crashing.

WIRE-16337: Updated the help link next to YouTube Event Allow Embedding, to go to a more appropriate and helpful page.
WIRE-16312: Removed the audio icon from a QR Code Generator source in Shot Layers, since QR codes don’t have audio, silly.
WIRE-16310: Relatedly, we also removed some other unnecessary options in Source Properties for QR Code Generator.
WIRE-16262: Fixed a crash that occurs while simultaneously unplugging an Audio Source while trying to change its settings in the Source Properties.
WIRE-16243: Fixed a UI issue on Windows where a black bar appears above Main Shot Bin if you drag enough shots in there and really try to break it.
WIRE-16240: Fixed some more instances where text wasn’t translated when viewing the app in languages other than English.
WIRE-16233: We updated the Create and Open document icons on Welcome to Wirecast window. They’re much more attractive now.
WIRE-16224: We removed the poorly aligned border background image from the Audio Mixer’s FX settings menus and replaced it with a solid color.
WIRE-16208: Fixed a UI annoyance on the Image Carousel where toggling the shuffle checkbox would cause the default image to flash briefly.
WIRE-16112: Fixed some more UI weirdness when switching background color from ‘None’ to ‘Solid’ on Text, Title, and Clocks.
WIRE-16094: We changed the behavior of the Windows Installer to force users to uninstall before downgrading.
WIRE-15975: Fixed a memory leak that occurred while outputting with Virtual Camera.
WIRE-15969: Now you can switch between LinkedIn Live accounts on Windows, without having to change the Post type.
WIRE-15947: On certain Windows machines, Quicksync encoders would be missing from the encoder drop-down. We found them and put them back where they belong.

WIRE-15767: Unplugging or disabling the network adapter(s) now does not cause a spike in CPU usage.
WIRE-15740: When clicking on the "Save as Default" button in the Chroma Key, now actually saves your selection as a default.
WIRE-15680: Fixed an issue where shots that were moved or renamed, then reassigned in a document, could not be taken live until a different shot on the same layer had done so.
WIRE-15633: Multi-viewer on Mac can now identify each monitor, even when Wirecast is assigned to a specific Display in Mission Control.
WIRE-15521: Fixed a bug that caused NDI audio output to stutter – sometimes, and only after more than 2 hours.
WIRE-15466: Now, when creating a Vimeo stream with a custom stream name, the stream name no longer shows as "Untitled, and the actual name created is displayed.
WIRE-15388: Fixed a crash – which may or may not have been related to WebRTC and Rendezvous.
WIRE-14511: When you open a ticket via the support assistant, we now require you to add a subject, which helps us help you.
WIRE-13457: Fixed an intermittent crash when closing a document with an ASIO/WASAPI device.
WIRE-13389: On Windows, we fixed a long-standing issue where colors from Blackmagic Web Presenter looked incorrect.
WIRE-13387: Fixed a somewhat random crash related to our source manager.
WIRE-13187: Added a warning message to prevent you from inadvertently copying over an existing file when you Record to Disk.
WIRE-10394: Now, if you try to record to disk to a subfolder that doesn't exist, the path/subfolder will be created, or the user will be alerted if the location needs to be edited.

New in Wirecast 13.0.2 (Nov 19, 2019)

New in Wirecast 13.0.1 (Oct 30, 2019)

New in Wirecast 13.0 (Oct 4, 2019)

New & Improved:
WIRE-15060 – Main Shot Bin overhaul – We’ve done a complete refurbishment of our Main Shot Bin (that’s the layered area where you add all your shots.) We’re excited about a lot of under-the-hood improvements that reduced our code bloat, which you’ll have to trust us on. But what you will see is:
Greatly improved responsiveness when selecting and reordering shots, resizing windows and scrolling. It’s now smooth like buttah.
GPU accelerated live icons so you can see live previews of all your live shots, without hosing your system CPU.
Refreshed and decluttered user interface – like Feng Shui, but for software.
A bunch of other small but daring improvements like being able to reorder your master layers and more layer resizing options … oh, the power!
WIRE-16006 – Speaking of resizing layers: We’ve added a “Zoom Layers To' menu under 'Layout' so you can set all your master layers in one fell swoop. AND now you can resize all your layers at the same time by holding down the Shift or Alt (Win) or Shift, Option or Command (Mac) keys. PLUS! Extra added bonus: If you double click a layer divider, your layer will resize to its default height. Boom.
WIRE-12584 – You can now also drag & drop a shot by clicking anywhere in the shot, not just on the title.
WIRE-15939/WIRE-159940 – BlackMagic Designs and Direct Show source process separation – We have been working hard to improve the resiliency of Wirecast when dealing with sources. We have updated our code for sources, which for us makes it easier to maintain and support future source updates. You won’t see a lot of obvious changes yet in usability – but this helps us set the stage for future improvements.
WIRE-15590 – More efficiency – We're now allowing Blackmagic, DirectShow and Magewell sources to be more efficient – giving them access to GPU-accessible buffers for better performance.
WIRE-15588 – Added support for MJPEG video in DirectShow sources
WIRE-16368 – Stream to Facebook and other places simultaneously: Facebook recently changed their policy that allows you to stream to multiple destinations when also streaming to Facebook. We have enabled that in our application. So, stream away, anywhere!
WIRE-16394/WIRE-16261 – Facebook 1080p streaming: Now you can stream 1080p and up to 60fps to Facebook.
WIRE-15870 – Integrated Facebook Speed Test – New option in Facebook output settings "Optimize Connection" initiates a Facebook Speed Test to Facebook’s various regional ingestion servers to determine the best choice.
WIRE-16200 – And we now warn busy users that the Facebook Speed Test can WIRE-14429 – PTZ control over NDI – This should allow all NDI PTZ cameras supporting movement controls over NDI to be fully usable in Wirecast. We have not tested every possible NDI PTZ device, but due to the standardization of NDI, all should work.
WIRE-15624 / WIRE-16114 – We also added support for PTZOptics PT12X-ZCam, for which we added a message in the PTZ Control Window that this device does not support pan/tilt controls. (It only zooms).
WIRE-16001 – MacOS Dark Mode – We’re going dark. Or at least you can choose to now.
WIRE-15989 – Larger user camera in Rendezvous – When entering the Rendezvous landing page (to enter the username), now the camera appears in the middle of the page so the user can see themselves more clearly than the small view in the top-right corner. Once the Rendezvous session starts, the camera jumps back to the top-right hand corner.
WIRE-15976 – LinkedIn Live Error Tracking – We improved the error tracking when streaming to LinkedIn Live.
WIRE-15968 – Preference Pane additions – We’ve added more options to the preference pane to give you even more decisions to make, including the look of your shot display, turning GPU Accelerated Live Icons to “Highest Framerate”, “Reduced Framerate” or “Disabled”, and other settings that give you ultimate omnipotence (at least within your own Wirecast document).
WIRE-15876 – Streamlined Buy link – Clicking on the 'Buy/Upgrade' item under 'Help' now opens the web store directly instead of taking you on a leisurely walk-about through another page or two. We’re saving you time.
WIRE-15933 – Warm and fuzzy analytics invite – We made our analytics opt-in pop-up warmer and fuzzier. We really hope you'll help us by opting in to analytics!
WIRE-16123 – You probably don’t care, but we've enlarged the Welcome Window to make room for in-app videos to play in that window.
WIRE-15922 – During the trial period, it is now easier for you to find and press a purchase button.
Fixes:
WIRE-16380 – We fixed an error when attempting to authenticate to Twitch, caused by a change in the Twitch API.
WIRE-16364 – Fixed an issue that caused audio underflow/popping sounds when using certain Elgato capture cards.
WIRE-16361 – We made an adjustment to the way Wirecast responds to changes in properties – one result being that now when you stop and restart the clock widget, it will resume where you left off, instead of restarting at the beginning.
WIRE-16347 – Jetstream aka Streamzilla now shows up in Mac Output Settings without error.
WIRE-16328 – When you replace a shot with another source, it will not automatically display at a ridiculously large size.
WIRE-16305 – Now when you click on the "Enter full screen" button on the video in the Welcome Screen, it will actually display full screen.
WIRE-16283/WIRE-16175/WIRE-16029/WIRE-15892 – Fixed an issue where files were flickering when added as a Web Stream source.
WIRE-16279 – A minor display issue – our cute little Cloud icon was being cut off when enabling Restream and Captions. Now it’s not.
WIRE-16271 – Fixed an issue where most SD video (720x480) from Blackmagic and other devices were coming in with improper scaling.
WIRE-16270 – We have more carefully isolated our media handling from other processes to help prevent crashes.
WIRE-16250 – Fixing some long-standing ‘jank’ where audio mute buttons would display on video-only sources and video mute buttons on audio-only sources. Just more housecleaning.
WIRE-16241 – Continuing with some housecleaning – We've done some additional clean up in the source settings tab of the Shot Inspector so it will only display the appropriate controls for audio-only and video-only sources.
WIRE-16235 – The ISO filename no longer reverts to default after choosing a destination.
WIRE-16227 – We had some over-zealous capitalization on some messages we displayed. They are now proper English. The grammar police can rest easy.
WIRE-16217 – We added back the menu bar, which would mysteriously disappear when you opened the Advanced Rendezvous Audio Mixer on Mac.
WIRE-16214 – We spent way too much time debating whether it’s OK to WIRE-16213 – Eradicated an egregious bug that would cause Wirecast to slow down or eventually hang when the audio properties panel was open. That was a doozy.
WIRE-16209 – Fixed a memory leak that occurred while looping Chroma Keyed video.
WIRE-16201 – Fixed a hang that happened if you took the very specific action to add a playlist shot, move it and then click at the top of Wirecast.
WIRE-16196 – Now when you modify the Source Properties of Blackmagic devices while ISO recording, your Preferences for the device will not become corrupt.
WIRE-16172 – We removed some unnecessary permissions for areas of Facebook that we weren’t actually using, and that have now been deprecated by Facebook anyway.
WIRE-16157 – Fixed an error that occurred on Windows when starting a Program Replay with a canvas size of 854x480.
WIRE-16156 – Related to the bug above – we fixed an indefinite hang that would occur on Windows when initiating Replay in conjunction with another Output while using an 854 x 480 Canvas.
WIRE-16142 – Now, on Mac, reducing your window size will not cause the Preview/Program windows to disappear.
WIRE-16125 – Fixed the Image Carousel – which is also fixed in 12.2.1, by the way.
WIRE-16119 – Grammarians rejoice! We’ve made more minor language changes to standardize the naming of items under the 'Window' menu.
WIRE-16111 – Fixed an odd bug that would cause an indefinite hang in certain documents when you hover the mouse over the Preview Window.
WIRE-16088 – Fixed a bug that didn’t let you assign a hotkey to a shot that's been duplicated.
WIRE-16082 – Instead of immediately starting camera / audio devices on startup, which wastes resources, we now wait until we actually need to use them to start them up.
WIRE-16079 – Fixed an annoying issue where dragging in unsupported media created a temporary shot which overlapped the clear layer icons.
WIRE-16074 – Squashed a crash that happens when opening a document from Explorer/Finder, completing the analytics dialog, then opening and closing the preferences.
WIRE-16058 – Fixed a licensing issue that, when deactivating a license and then immediately clicking Purchase, would open the Web Store instead of the more appropriate Product Catalog page.
WIRE-16057 – Almost not worth mentioning, because most people will never see this, but we re-aligned a logo on a page that comes up when a Wirecast Pro user clicks purchase. (All in the name of making every aspect of Wirecast supremely excellent.)
WIRE-16050 – When you upgrade from Wirecast One, your master layers will also upgrade accordingly. This wasn't happening, which could cause you to think you hadn't upgraded.
WIRE-16049 – Fixed a bug where setting audio channel to both L and R made you think you had to upgrade to Wirecast Pro. Sorry.
WIRE-16041 – Fixed numerous minor layout issues in media source properties panel.
WIRE-16027 – When you upgrade from Wirecast One, you'll now be able to access Wirecast Studio or Pro help and User Guides.
WIRE-16026 – Now, you can’t reorder a shot on a layer to be before the special Clear Layer shot.
WIRE-16014 – When you create a Twitter shot, it will no longer automatically be added to Layer 3. You now can choose.
WIRE-16004 – Fixed a rare crash that could occur when quitting and not saving a document.
WIRE-15993 – We re-enabled UI keyboard navigation on Mac, so you can again tab between controls.
WIRE-15992 – NDI and Webstream sources will now display at full refresh rate in the multi-viewer.
WIRE-15985 – Updated the XKeys 128 Controller SDK, so that it works correctly on macOS Catalina.
WIRE-15978 – We prevented multiple calls to Facebook when it is the most recently selected destination, to reduce load time of the Output Settings dialog box.
WIRE-15920 – Changing the opacity and subsequently hiding and showing the layer in the Shot Layers tab no longer reverts the opacity back to 100%. Opacity now stays the same as whatever it was set to previously…as it should.
WIRE-15908 – Fixed an issue on Windows where mattes were not being ap
plied to NDI or Webstream sources.
WIRE-15879 – MacOS 10.15 is requiring applications to be “notarized”. Part of this update is to enable “hardened runtime” which adds additional protections to the application. We have done this.
WIRE-15867 – Added an error message to indicate when an Elgato device is in use by another app or fails to start.
WIRE-15855 – Increased wait time and publish attempts for LinkedIn Live broadcasts, which could fail due to the latency introduced when using it with Wirecast Live Captions or Wirecast Restream.
WIRE-15853 – Now when you click on the info button to learn about our usage data policies, it takes you to an actual page – not a 404 error.
WIRE-15782 – The preview video no longer freezes when you open source properties, so you can see changes being made live, which is of course the purpose of the preview window.
WIRE-15780 – Fixed an issue that caused signal degradation for NDI Sources with Live Icons enabled.
WIRE-15758 – Fixed an embarrassing oversight that caused a coder-level label to display when setting Exposure Levels settings in PTZ Controls.
WIRE-15755 – Fixed issue that would cause "Use backup server" and "Automatically Start Event" to become unavailable in certain cases, when streaming to YouTube.
WIRE-15735 – Fixed a bug that would cause audio to not be restored when reconnecting to NDI Sources on Windows.
WIRE-15715 – Fixed an issue streaming RTMP to specific URLs on macOS Mojave.
WIRE-15644 – Fixed some more odd license behavior when you select "Buy Wirecast" then close the purchase window on macOS.
WIRE-15643 – Fixed an indefinite hang that occurred on Windows, when using a machine with a dual GPU setup and changing the graphics adapter then clicking restart.
WIRE-15603 – An issue was fixed by Facebook that was causing an inability to switch to live from preview when using the Facebook Live – with User Code destination.
WIRE-15567 – We changed the default encoder to x264 for Livestream.com.
WIRE-15512 – Fixed a variety of scaling issues that occurred primarily when NDI or BlackMagic sources were added.
WIRE-15395 – When Mac users tried to use Rendezvous with a Studio or Trial license, we did not serve up the proper pop-up window to explain next steps. We do that now.
WIRE-15386 – Fixed a rare crash on Windows. Yah – that.
WIRE-15358 – Improved the handling of alpha PNG files to more efficiently decode these files when played in Wirecast.
WIRE-15340 – For users on Windows 10 Creator Studio with DirectX12 installed, our installer doesn’t fail for you now.
WIRE-15265 – We now don’t put dark text on a dark background in the name of selected shot in the Shot Layers panel on macOS. #easiertoread.
WIRE-15007 – Fixed an issue where .wcst documents could not be opened if they contained Cyrillic characters.
WIRE-14905 – You can no longer change the default encoder presets by creating a new encoder preset with the same name.
WIRE-14781 – Selecting a shot with the touch bar caused shot properties sliders/buttons/etc. to be greyed-out and unusable unless you tapped on that shot again in the touch bar. This was not intended. So, we fixed that.
WIRE-14404 – We’re happy to report, we have significantly improved the way in which Wirecast plays ProRes 4444 clips on Windows. We're seeing 2-3x less CPU usage, depending on the file.
WIRE-14228 – Removed some old DX9c code – just cleaning up.
WIRE-13872 – Ricoh Theta V video was coming in upside down. Now it’s not.
WIRE-13828 – YouTube viewer statistics now will continue to update after streaming for more than an hour.
WIRE-13792 – Fixed a long-standing issue that would result in missing media errors when trying to copy a shot from one document to another, if both documents are open at the same time.
Additional Notes:
WIRE-15638 – The time has come to drop support for older DV cameras, since we don’t test them anymore and they are difficult to even find nowadays. Consider official support for these dropped.
WIRE-15214 – Windows 7 users: Note that Wirecast 13 will be the last release that supports Win7. You’ll see a message about this in app but consider yourself warned.
WIRE-16014 – We removed the ability to create a Twitter shot directly from the top nav bar. Don’t worry, you can still do it from the Add Source (+) button in the Shot Bin area.
Known Issues:
WIRE-16400 – On Windows 7, system devices that deliver planar YUV display green video. The workaround for these devices is to set the color space to RGB.

ADD MORE POWERFUL PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES:
Playlists:
Queue a list of multiple videos, images, audio or live shots to play successively. This is great for adding commercial breaks, for streaming archived content during off hours, or it can even be used to rotate live camera views. Automate your broadcast workflow between media and live shots. A separate playlist window lets you easily create playlists and see what’s scheduled. Drag-and-drop new content, trim and edit recorded video, and set what happens upon completion of the playlist - return to your last live shot, loop content, hold last shot, or display current preview window.
Easy media editing:
Easily trim and edit your recorded media (including replays) from the new preview window. With any piece of media you can custom configure its length, and set in and out points. Zoom in on timeline for more precise editing.
Replay (PRO):
Wirecast now lets you capture and replay clips of your live production. Great for sporting events or any live show where you want to go back and reshow a portion of the broadcast. During a live show, simply click the “replay” button to capture a clip and add it to a master layer. When replaying, you can slow it down, speed it up, or scrub across the entire clip to find the exact point you want to show. You can also suppress audio or add another audio track and set up a template for your Replay shots. Easily create highlight reels by combining Replay with Playlists.
EXPAND YOUR CONTENT SOURCES:
COMING SOON! iOS Sources:
Wirecast 6 integrates with a new, free iOS app—WirecastCam. Download the app and use any iPhone (4S or newer) or iPad on your Wifi network as an ingest source into Wirecast. Great for adding more camera sources or user-generated content to your live broadcasts.
NewBlueFX titler integration from Source Settings:
Create infinite title styles for lower thirds quickly and simply with the GPU-accelerated NewBlue Titler Pro for Wirecast. Stylize your titles with custom bevels, textures, layer blending, lighting control and even animation. An array of templates is included to get you started. (Plug-in is sold separately.)
Twitter feed:
Add Twitter messages directly to your broadcast. The new social media editor allows you to search tweets by text string, user name, hashtag, or user timeline and select only the ones you’d like to display. Using Wirecast’s layers overlay Social media messages on your live or recorded shots.
Custom Graphics in Scoreboards/Keyboard Shortcuts for Scorekeeping (PRO):
Skin the Wirecast scoreboards with you own school graphics and logos. Keyboard shortcuts ensure you keep up with the action.
STREAMLINE YOUR WORKFLOW:
Audio Preview:
Check your audio before it goes live. Preview the audio of any shot when it’s in the preview window.
More Keyboard Shortcuts for Shots:
Use new keyboards shortcuts for faster switching, shot set-up, and production.
Recoverable File Format:
Expect the best, prepare for the worst. With Wirecast 6, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that in case of an interruption or crash to your system, you can recover your recording up to the point of the crash.
STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY:
64-bit:
Wirecast now operates in 64-bit mode, which improves memory usage and overall performance. This means better quality for your high-resolution broadcasts.

New Features:
Flash Streaming Server support. Wirecast now streams to services that support the RTMP (Flash) protocol. This includes Adobe Flash Media Server and Wowza Media Server.
Stream using Flash to the most popular streaming services: Ustream and Mogulus are integrated directly into Wirecast to allow quick and easy setup to these services.
Flash to disk. Wirecast is now capable of recording F4V or M4V files to disk as part of your recording session.
For services not yet fully integrated, you can use any FME 2.5 or FME 3.0 XML Configuration file to quickly set up Wirecast to stream to your Flash server. (Only server URL and Stream is used - codec settings are not ingested).
Server auto-reconnect support. If the connection to a streaming server is severed, Wirecast will reconnect to the server when the connection is available. Users can stop an auto-reconnect in progress.
Specifically enable / disable devices for Wirecast to use. You now have full control over which devices Wirecast loads when it launches.
Configure the aspect ratio of your devices. Wirecast now allows you to define the true aspect ratio of your camera or capture device. This allows you to mix and match square and non-square pixel input sources.
Enhancements:
More canvas sizes. Wirecast now supports true 4:3 and 16:9 as well as still supporting DVPAL DVNTSC canvas sizes.
Fixes:
Fixed issue where stale frames could appear when using CUT.
Can now crop past 50% of source. Fixed cropping overlaps.

Do not stop other output sessions when one session fails.
