Automatically Load Graphic with Camera Angle Switch - ATEM Mini Pro, ATEM Mini Tips 02

Want 4+ hours of pure ATEM training?

If you want a different graphic to come up with each camera angle automatically, you'll need to build a Macro on your ATEM Mini or ATEM Mini Pro to do that. And I'm going to show you how!

If you have time when producing a live show to load the next shot into the Preview, load the graphic into the Preview, and then bring it to live — that's great. But you don't always have the time or luxury to do that! Plus, if you only have one Media Player (like the ATEM Mini, ATEM Mini Pro, and ATEM Mini Pro ISO have), then you can't preview a different graphic anyway. So, macros to the rescue!

In this video tip, I'll show you how to create a macro that simultaneously changes camera angle and loads up the graphic you want. This could be a lower third (someone's name), a team name, a logo, or anything else you can put in the Media Player!

When creating macros, there are some rules you need to obey. For example, macro assumes nothing. For example… just because you're on CAM1 when you start recording the macro, that doesn't mean you don't have to record switching to CAM1. The macro only records what you do, so if you don't switch to CAM1 (even if you have to switch away first, then come back), the macro won't include that command!

Creating multiple similar macros, though, can get tedious and are prone to error. In the next ATEM (mini) Tips, I will show you how to record just one macro and then build the other three using an XML editor!

The “ATEM (mini) Tips” collection is an ongoing series of small tips for your @BlackmagicDesignOfficial ATEM hardware — no matter which model you use. Offering answers and solutions to common questions and problems, these tips are bite-sized videos to help you get the most from your investment.

I like how you've edited these videos: turning to address the camera. Subtle, but effective. If you get time to do a meta-tutorial, on how you light and film these, we'd love that. Great audio and exposure too.

[tobiolatunji]

The next one cannot come soon enough! These are great!

[DavidFosterVlog]

Just got my extreme ISO today. Ready to start getting it into production.

Photo Joseph I want thank you from the bottom of my heart for these tips. I’m following your instructions on creating these lower thirds Macros. Thank you!! I would love to see a tip on setting up the 810 mini for live streaming with the 810 Mini Iso

[DaveColes]

This was an excellent way to introduce the marvels of macros. I look forward to Tip #003!

[scouter-xnzi]

A great tutorial, to-the-point, really cleared things up for me.

[Foxhoyle]

This is a great video! I am working on introducing lower thirds (not even with a camera switch) and I learned a ton. Thank you for making these videos!!

[London_drives]

Another great tip. Keep them coming..!

[garyjonesjr.]

Thanks, I was thinking about this feature recently

[Alscameracorner]

Love the atem mini tips keep them coming.

[artjohnson]

You are sooo good. Great detailed explanation. THANKS!

[videodudecarl]

Creating LT's. I don't have PhotoShop. Can I export graphics from FCP to ATEM Media Pool?
Thanks
ps: I thought I heard that you are in Ashland, Oregon. I just drove through there and could not believe the damage done in Talent ! Hope you are doing well.

[mathew_pang]

Is this only feature for pro and pro iso ? I mean the standard Atem Mini don’t have it ?

Hi, love all your videos. I go to tech conferences and record interviews. I use 3 cameras. One of them (CAM3) is just on the guest. I need to change the lwr 3rd for each guest. Do I need to create a new macro for each guest? Or does the macro load the graphic that's in the specific media player?

[Kapstadtarniii]

Thanks for the new series, Joseph! Can you show us how to change existing macros? For instance if I wanted to insert a 0, 5 second fade between switching camera angles.

[samsyanks]

Hi is it possible u can do a tutorial about the new software update regarding tethering an iPhone?

[tugwilson]

These are excellent!
It would be great if you could attach macros to the switcher buttons. i.e. when you hit button 1 do the switch then run a specified macro. The Extreme allows that for the 6 macro buttons so it should be possible for Blackmagic to do it for others.
One question: it can take some time for a macro to run (because of pauses) and you can loop a macro. Can you run another macro whist the fist one is still running?

[gibblsworthiscool]

How can you fix audio sync issues when using a macbook even when its running audio through the camera. Another great video would be the best way to route audio so things can be played from VLC while also running a zoom call.

[A.L.T.A.F]

Great Video, There aren't many videos covering pattern subject. Is it possible to customize the shape of the square pattern to parallelogram or trapezoid, By moving the outlines of the pattern? or is it possible to upload a complete customized pattern shape via photoshop?

[FlyingJackalope]

You're killing it with these tips Joseph. So helpful. I'm trying to see if there is a way to import animations as lower thirds and my only thought/hack is to use my computer as a source and play a full screen QuickTime file that has a chroma key built in. I would use it in place of a picture and picture upstream and have it on a loop, etc. If you know of another way to do an animated lower thirds or any overlay graphic I would love to learn that.
