How to Use Wirecast to Create IGTV (Instagram TV) Content Quick and Easy – Geekazine.com - Geekazine
I love streaming software programs. They can make my job easier by letting me create content live, as well as recorded for later posting. Just a couple weeks ago, Instagram stepped up their videos with IGTV – or Instagram TV. For most, you can record up to a 10 minute video, then post to the service. I already knew how to make 9:16 content in Wirecast. This was a perfect opportunity to start working in this medium more.

How to Set Up Wirecast for IGTV
Wirecast Resolution (click for larger size)
The first thing you want to do is open Wirecast.
OK. Now go to Output – Canvas Size – Custom. Change your settings to a 9:16 video. Instagram will take a minimum size of 720p, so you will set the video up 720 (width) by 1280 (height). You can also do 1080×1920, or higher, but keep in mind Instagram has a maximum file size (650 MB for 10 minute videos). When you hit “OK”, your video screen will reflect a 9:16 screen.
Set up the Output for 9:16

Next, you need to create a recording video output. Choose Output – Output Settings and choose Record to Disk – MP4 Simply use any pre-set profile, and save it as “IGTV” (or whatever you want). Then go into the resolution and flip the numbers to represent the 9:16 resolution. Save the new profile.
Wirecast Overlays, Audio, and More.
Like I said, I can create titles, graphics, lower 3rds, and more using this program. Therefore, I can record, then post, for almost live video.
With that, you have created your IGTV profile (or any 9:16 video format).
You can watch the Video on Instagram! (feel free to follow while you’re there…)
