Wirecast

There is always great interest in new ways of producing your videos. Wirecast, from the folks at Vara Software allows anyone with a decent computer and a few firewire cameras to produce a live show, that can be either broadcast out to the internet or recorded to disk. Wirecast’s abilities seem endless when you first open up the app. Live chroma keying, HDV support, 3D titles, and lower thirds are just a handful of features Wirecast has to offer. The app allows switching live between firewire sources, and multiple desktop sources (via a local network). This revolutionary application for the mac is simply put, a live production studio in a box. Don’t take my word for it, check out the demo for yourself at www.varasoftware.com
