Telestream Wirecast 15.1 was just released and has many new features! Version 15.1 of Wirecast gives producers and live streamers much more power and flexibility for creating quality content. Here are the top three features of Wirecast 15.1.
VST3 Effect Plugin Support

Wirecast 15.1 now supports the use of VST3 Effect Plugins on individual sources or your final output mix so you can professionally control the audio in your live stream.
In a live video production scenario, leveraging VST3 Effect Plugins can be very effective:
- Normalize audio from different sources to achieve a consistent volume level

- Correct or shift the pitch of a speaker or musical instrument feed
- Remove reverb to clean up audio from lower-quality microphones)

Devices like these allow producers to automate a range of actions in Wirecast, such as queueing up shots in the preview window, clearing layers, and pushing shots live. This streamlines many production actions and lets individuals create live video content more professionally and easily.”
