Broadcast Live Events

1. Open a project or create a new project for a live event.
2. In Setup, update project settings that are unique to the next broadcast, such as the graphics, data sources, videos, and outputs. For details, see Creating your first project in Vegas Stream.
   
   

   When you finish updating the project's settings, click Done in Setup to save the settings to the project's current session. Then, if you want to save the project's settings for future sessions, click File > Save from within the playout interface.

   Important!

   • We recommend you create a unique project for each type of live event that you plan to broadcast. To create a new project with settings that are similar to an existing project (such as the video sources, audio sources, and outputs), open a similar project, click File > Save As and save a copy of the project with a different name, then change only the settings that are different in the new project.

   

3. In Vegas Stream's playout interface, click a graphic in the playlist to preview it and, if applicable, enter names, titles, or other information.
