8.3(33368) | January 19th 2018 | First Beta Build

Good afternoon,

Over the past month and a half we’ve been very busy here at Telestream working on Wirecast version 8.3. We’ve decided to try something new and do a public beta of this version. We would appreciate any feedback – positive or negative – that you may have. In this version we’ve added video feed output from Wirecast to Rendezvous participants and we’ve enabled RTMPS support for Facebook. Wirecast 8.3 is also jam-packed with bug fixes and improvements! Please remember that this is a beta version and is not a representation of the final quality of the product, it could potentially have bugs and should not be used in a production environment.

TESTING NOTES:

We changed the underlying format of crops, so please test every aspect of cropping and make sure that it still works as expected.

Please test using different transitions and switching between different transitions.

Please test copying and pasting different types of sources.

Fixed Live audio shots reset when switching shots in another Master Layer:

• Make sure any parameter changing (volume, pan, crop, rotation, etc.) sends shot live

• Make sure new shots get sent live

• Make sure shot changes get sent live (including changing to ‘empty shot’)

• Make sure adding sources in a shot get sent live

• Make sure deleting sources in a shot get sent live
