Wirecast Tips:
The camera is usually placed on the middle row (layer).
Any files that you want to play INSTEAD of the camera shot, place on the same layer as the camera (middle).
Examples - Introduction video, Moment of Reflection
Any files that you want to play WITH the camera shot (either camera sound or image, place on a layer above or below the camera layer. (graphics, text, video)
Examples -
Pledge to the Flag (waving flag background - below camera),
Titles (lower thirds) or graphics (quotes or images - above camera)
CLASS RESOURCES (GOOGLE DRIVE)
Staff Spotlight- an interview or just a webcam recording of a teacher or staff member talking about their background & showing things they are doing in their class.
Book Trailers- created by teachers or students (using Adobe Spark, Google Slides, PowerPoint, etc.) You are welcome to use any of these winners from our book trailer contest.
When using Adobe Spark, be sure to sign in through SCCPSS email (not Google). To create a video with Google Slides or PPT, be sure to add timings to the slide before exporting as MP4.
