There will be a watermark on the Reverend Sasquatch video because it will cost $500 to license Wirecast to lose the watermark and, frankly, I don't think God will mind. That's a hefty kick when Nicecast goes for a tenth of that so I'd be just pleased as punch if RogueAmoeba had written it but, regrettably, they didn't.
Note: Nicecast is audio only. Nevertheless, it's a good example as it's so good it has largely monopolized audio streaming for Apple machines. They could have jacked the price stratospheric but they didn't do it.
So, watermarks.
There is also a Wirecast for iPad or iPhone and I downloaded it but there doesn't look to be any particular reason to use it as there's nothing I can't do better with the desktop version.
Patching Skype into the audio feed is a problem unless I can capture all system audio and it's not clear yet whether that is a Pro option. There is the option now to select this input source or that one but not all of them. More to be discovered there.
Streaming was successful this time at 720p for a substantial increase in video quality. It can go up to 1080p, even on the demo version, but there's no particular reason to burn that much crank power for a talking head. At 720p, it's suitable for full-screen without excessive pixellation.
The free version is high power and is a good teaser for their Pro version at $500. You will almost certainly want the Pro version but to save $500 you will be likely be able to live with the free demo version. After that it starts talking 'enterprise' and any time you see that word you can multiply all the prices by at least ten as corporate budgeting is run by people with the minds of Wisconsin cheese.
There's been good progress but it's time to set it aside for now. I have decided it is a design requirement to have Skype access. That's what will make this real. It's real in any case but anyone can tell you that. When someone calls in with who knows what then that's a whole new deal of real.
Estimating a couple more days to get this to the point of being satisfied it is ready to go truly live in announcing it, etc, etc.
Someone connected to it when I was testing it just now and who knows how that person even knew it was there. It's not unrealistic to believe it has some potential and there's quite a bit of turmoil about doing the right thing. It's not that I'm concerned about knowing the right thing but rather the concern is about hurting anyone inadvertently or any other kind of way.
Mystery Lady, there won't be anything you will find offensive as I suspect you don't have a whole lot of use for preachers who ask their people to buy them jetplanes so they can go off to preacher parties at Puerto Vallarta. The preacher in the little church down the street won't have any problem with it ... unless he's hard-core fundamentalist and they have a problem with just about everything.
But so does everyone as Facebook is like an anger cartoon and you can scroll through it looking at all the pictures which make people angry. If you're not angry when you go in there, you will be by the time you've scrolled through all this stuff and it won't be from all their causes but rather that they're all angry all the time. Kee-rist, people, you give me a fookin' headache. Some of them post flowers instead but they just cover up their anger and this is a warning of heavy baggage which will all land on you.
Reverend Sasquatch doesn't care about their causes. He's more interested in the genetically-modified marijuana-eating rabbits. On Facebook they want me to know what Donald Trump is doing but there's a tiny problem: he's not very interesting.
More experimenting to come as Miss Mona hasn't played yet and she's kind of kicking back wondering just how crazy I will get with it.
Answer: as much as I possibly can
