Do you use Macros on your ATEM? If so, put below some examples of your macros so we can all pool and share our best ones! If you're new to Macros, I hope you found the videos useful!

@jimwarakois2817 Год назад

It's about time. A concise discussion and tutorial about macros..Thank you ever so much.

@AlexPettitt Год назад

Thanks so much Jim, I'm glad you found it useful. I'm glad you used the word concise too...when I was making this and I saw it had reached 30 mins long, I was worried people would feel it was too long!

@davidlane42 Год назад

Yes, more companion information with ATEM and Hyperdecks!

@KevinJamesVideo Месяц назад

Some great suggestions in here. Thanks for putting this together!

@benjaminrydberg522 Год назад

@AlexPettitt Год назад

@recruitlings Год назад

I would love to see a Companion tutorial that functions with OBS as it does with macros in the ATEM Mini. Specifically a button on a Stream Deck that activates a Source to run such as an animation. When the animation is complete, the Source button automatically returns to its OFF state. I’ve requested this feature directly via email with Elgato.

@PiperBlush Год назад

You have been really useful to me since my Blackmagic setup, I would really appreciate a tutorial on how I can record my stream into the Atem, if that make sense I am using Wirecast.

@AlexPettitt Год назад

Can you describe a little about where wirecast fits in your current setup?

@PiperBlush Год назад

@@AlexPettitt Never mind Alex I totally ditch Wirecast, I got an Hyperdeck and do everything with the Atem and Restream, again thanks for ALL your videos

@gaips Год назад

What we need in 2023 is a 4K Atem Mini Extreme ISO with Ultimatte 12 included in it, and videos with alpha channels in the media tab folders.

@AlexPettitt Год назад

I would love that too, but I wonder if BM just can't justifying doing that, as it would cannibalise the sales of their dedicated products like Ultimate 12.

@gaips Год назад

@@AlexPettitt I would love to use an Ultimatte 12. Btw not many know about Ultimatte 12, there are no tutorials on youtube.

@AlexPettitt Год назад

@@gaips Running you should say that. I have just got a unit and am in the process of building out my green screen studio to test and record tutorials on Ultimatte 12. So expect to see some videos on it in the coming months :)

@gaips Год назад

@@AlexPettitt months? Lol by the time you post, NAB will have new products. Really looking forward to your videos. It’s pretty simple to use (There are no real-time motion tracking options.) Please mention I/O when you use it, I think you always need to use the ethernet cable to run the each unit.

@gaips Год назад

@@AlexPettitt do you have an eta? Do you absolutely need ethernet to work these devices?

@AlexPettitt 5 месяцев назад

@enewlife 10 месяцев назад

please make a companion tutorial please, we don't have a stream deck so knowing how to upload our macros to the companion buttons would be helpful!

@DigitalCreations2012 Год назад

Yes, more companion stuff please

@AlexPettitt Год назад

You got it!!

@MrClassicRobot Год назад

I haven’t experimented yet, but can you use the bitfocus companion macros/buttons with the Streamdecks multi action?

@philipp_thielen Год назад

What I'm looking for is a macro that puts camera 3 to the side and activates camera 1 on the right just like you showed, but not as a super source but for atem mini pro. Next step would be deviding my camera 1 in 4 sectors an crop into the sector so that you have kinda like a zoom on different positions within the frame. Give each Sector a new macro and put it on a stream deck. so in the end I would have a big screen camera 3 with 4 macros of different positions zoomed in in camera 1 and each of the macros on a stream deck button. Is that even possible? Anyways, you helped me A LOT with understanding macros as a beginner so thank you sooo much

@pieman123456 Год назад

@GG-rs5wr Год назад

Hey any chance you can do a video on the websites that provide xml editing of the atem backup, i ask chat gpt and it said that it was posible and that there are some websites that do it, what you think?

@henryhamm600 5 месяцев назад

Question: does the Atem Software have to run for the stream deck to trigger macros? In other words: are the macros stored and executed in the software or on the Atem mini?

@GG-rs5wr Год назад

Hey Alex have you done any video with the atem and the Ground Loop Noise Isolator

@AlexPettitt Год назад

Haven’t done a specific video on it, but I have used a Ground Loop Isolator before with ATEM Mini & Rodecaster. It definitely helped

@AM-mr8or Год назад

BitFocus companion tutorials. Any info on Mixeffect as well would be nice.

@AlexPettitt Год назад

Great suggestions! Will do

@akmediaproductions Год назад

Agree on the macro part.. thanks for your time on this..however I Would say BMD kind of lost the game when compared to Yolobox on the graphics integration etc.. and you know well they won’t listen to small customers needs..

@AlexPettitt Год назад

I'd be interested to hear what your customer needs are re GFX. I think BM's stance with graphics is they'll provide basic stills stores etc, but as soon as you need to do something more complex like title generation...then they'd look for you to incorporate an external graphics engine and bring that in as an input.

@ejking5625 Год назад

Hi Alex question, can I switch between macros but using dissolve transition and how to do it??? may be using Companion?? Let me know and thank you so much for your help and work.

@AlexPettitt 10 месяцев назад

It depends what your macro's are doing to be honest. You can use macro's to dissolve between cameras if thats what you mean

@elmaldonado Год назад

Hi Alex. Have you recorded a video showing how to bring in guests as interviewees that are remote. I use ecamm as well but because I can’t see how to easily bring in folks over the web. Thanks!

@AlexPettitt Год назад

Hey Ernest, as far as I can remember I haven't done a dedicated video on bringing in remote guests. With the ATEM there's nothing inbuilt to do it, so you need to use an external service and then feed that in via a HDMI input. The tricky bit is usually handling all the audio workflow, as you need to make sure your guest doesn't hear themselves back. Ecamm is great for that as it handles it all for you :)

@RomainPruneaux Год назад

Hi Alex, do you know any good alternative to ecamm for Windows?

@AlexPettitt Год назад

@@RomainPruneaux when using Windows my go to is always VMix :)

@connectdigitalstream9725 7 месяцев назад

Hi Alex very helpful video . I use supersource to create macros so I can change cameras and graphics and e.t.c. But supersource doesn’t record to external disk , is there a solution about this ?

@AlexPettitt 7 месяцев назад

Glad to hear the video was helpful. The only way to include the SuperSource in the ISO record / DaVinci File is to feed the SuperSource out of one of the HDMI outputs and back into a spare input. Hope that makes sense :)

@MessianicJudaism Год назад

You know, NewTek Tricaster has a complete training course on the functions, and practical tip, and tricks, plus a certification program to use their product. I've yet to see something come from BMD that comes close to what they offer. You can tell me me everything about the ATEM until I'm blue in the face. But until I see it in action with setup, scripting out the event with lower 3rds, A and B roll clips in the cue, and audio setup. It means nothing. That's why I am having a hard time coming to BMD from NewTek.

@AM-mr8or Год назад

You should probably stay with NewTek. Take the complete training course and get a certificate.

@roto_makara Год назад

Then stay with newtek. This is not the complaining department sheeesh. Alex is doing great tutorials here👍

@avi8r66 9 месяцев назад

Features like this are a great example of how BMD offers some very cool products but seems to have a knack for stopping just short of making them good. In this case, a simple way to re-order the macros, and/or assign macros to the atem extreme macro buttons rather than simply hard linking them to positions 1-6 in the list. This kind of 'stop just short of making the product great' thinking is carried throughout the BMD product line up, and for the premium dollar they charge this should not be acceptable to anyone.
