Course Description
The Wirecast master class is a complete video production course based around the popular live streaming and recording software. This course will review the basics of professional video production and live streaming which include: titles, overlays, capturing content, live streaming, recording, controllers, shortcuts, working with images, audio, graphics, building cameras shots and much much more!
Wirecast is one of the top live streaming and video production software solutions available today. The software was initially released in 2004 and it has been updated over the years to meet the needs of modern video production. Wirecast is maintained and developed by it’s parent company Telestream, which is headquartered in Nevada City, California, USA. The software is available for both Mac and Windows operating systems.
Today, there are more options than ever for video production, live streaming, and recording. They range from inexpensive software packages to professional studios costing tens of thousands of dollars. For those on a tight budget or simply looking for a highly flexible solution, a software solution like Wirecast is a great option. Within the wide range of software options, Wirecast has become one of the best professional-grade options with a price point within the reach of many users. While there are plenty of other options, including OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), xSplit, and eCamm Live, you have likely found that Wirecast standouts for its stability, reliability, and ease of use.

A good course maybe more hands on and configuring wirecast to work with wowza etc. Realise it may not be possible but a few more variety would help in reenforcing concepts.

Good general overview, digging enough into the weeds to be helpful. Would like a little more in the "advanced features" section.
By Roderick R Smith on 1/23/2023
I think the instructor pace was too quick. I think he should have proper sample videos and graphics ready so that he does not have to search for them during the class. The random samples were notreally good samples especially for the virtual sets. He speed through the section and I could not even see what he was clicking. The pace was quick and the explanations was not concise. Not that good for me.

Hasta esta parte del curso esta bastante bien explicado, solo que me hubiera gustado que fuera también en idioma español y no solo con traducción, por eso el motivo de mi calificación

Something is up with the audio. Otherwise it has been clean and easy to understand. Also, This tutorial is for Wirecast 7, while wire cast 8 is what is currently available. But still informative and easy to understand

Informative, but the low production values of Udemy content drives me nuts! The mic cutting in and out on this course is highly distracting.
By Nicola Grace on 3/4/2017
Great basic overview. Better than Wirecast official site. So glad I bought this course. Looking to learn more.
