When you click Start on the bottom, it will automatically connect and then show the encoding log while you’re live, which shows you on-the-fly information about your stream. You may click Connect if you want, but it’s not necessary. Don’t share this key with anyone unless you want them to commandeer your stream. Lastly, where it says “Stream” you should enter your unique stream key, which is associated with your account. Backup URL is for streaming to another site at the same time (do not do this unless you have the bandwidth for it!). The one in the image is for Justin/Twitch TV. To actually send this video to your stream account, enter the FMS URL associated with the site you use. The rest of the settings depend entirely on your Internet connection, computer specs, and what type of stream you’re trying to do. Click the wrench on the right for device options. How to use: Choose your device, and you will see cameras you have connected, hardware capture devices (not all are compatible), and CamTwist. FMLE is the only truly essential piece of software if you want the bare minimum. All settings and previews are done in one window. This software takes your video sources, compresses them, and uploads directly to your live stream account. This does not happen in (Snow) Leopard, so keep it in mind for live broadcasts! Keep everything you want to monitor in the same desktop. Special note about Lion: Whenever you capture Desktop+ video and switch to another desktop space, the video in CamTwist turns to a black screen. I assure you that it’s really much faster and easier to actually do all this than to explain it. That’s really all it takes for basic CamTwist usage. You can instantly remove them all by clicking “Clear” on the bottom right. To remove them individually, click the corresponding button and it will turn orange, then click Cut, Dissolve, or Effect. Everything in the Program window is on air (if you’re streaming, that is), and the buttons in use will be highlighted red. When you want it to go on air, click either Cut, Dissolve, or Effect on the right (the effect used is whatever you have chosen from the drop box below it). Nothing in the preview window is live, so it’s a great way to choose your sources with ease while running a live broadcast (in the image, you can see my timer and text overlay is being previewed, but not live). Once you have your sources prepared, click the button squares to highlight them, they turn green and appear in the Preview window. Your options available appear in the bottom left section. Furthermore if you want the option to scale/move/combine sources like in the image, highlight the element you want (Desktop+ in this case) and click on PIP. When I took the screen shot with Sonic and Melee, I had the CamTwist window overlapping the emulators and they did not appear because I confined capture to only those apps. Desktop+ has an extra option that lets you confine capture to a specific application. Webcam and Desktop are straightforward, they let you capture video from a camera or your computer screen. Click on “New Button” and the list on the top left will say “Untitled.” To its right, click “Elements” and you can choose a video source and effects you want. How to use: When you load CamTwist, press ⌘S to open up the studio window. Note: It cannot record or stream anything on its own, you must combine it with other software! I can change their size/position freely, add a camera if I wanted to show myself playing, you can even restream someone else’s stream when you’re doing live competitions. As shown in the image, two emulators are being displayed in the same screen. There’s a huge variety of special effects that can enhance the video, and you can add text/graphic overlays, background, and even enter IRC servers and display IRC channel conversations. This application lets you capture, combine, and manipulate multiple video sources.
