My name is Lennart and I am a ret. TV-producer/director living in Stockholm, Sweden. I am +80 and still in business with small productions with musicians. I have 5 semipro-Canoncameras and just bought this fantastic Atem mini. Thank You Alex You are a very good and professional teacher. Keep swingin’ wherever You are

Thanks for the Audio Monitoring tip! This led me to my a solution for recording the ATEM Mini video output on a Mac. If you do a "New Movie Recording" instead, you can choose "Blackmagic Design" for the Camera and Microphone setting and then hit the record button. If you set the Quality setting to "Maximum", Quicktime encodes the video using Apple ProRes 422, for the "High" setting it is encoded in H.264. If I'm not streaming, just want to record the ATEM Mini output and want to avoid having to use OBS or Wirecast, using Quicktime Player seems like a cool trick too?

I've subscribed and love your videos on the ATEM mini. Blackmagicdesign ought to hire you!

I've had to take my business online since Covid and your channel is proving really useful in helping me get to where I need to be.

Thank you.

Alex ... Great video. My question is about the GoPro. What cables do you have attached to it? Is it a Hero 8?

[MicrobeTV]

I use a mixer with XLR microphones. What is a good way to get this audio into the ATEM mini? I've gone from the mixer to the XLR input on the video camera but that doesn't seem optimal.

[MrChromaddict]

Great videos thanks! I am trying to use your monitoring trick but I can only find the quicktime player for windows which doesn't allow the new audio recording option. Is there a safe place to download quicktime pro or an alternative program that will work for windows?

Thanks for the video Alex, appreciate the time taken. When you turned on flying key at 10:35 I was wondering if you could switch between the onscreen record and full screen camera view of yourself at the touch of the camera/preview buttons... as opposed to them being overplayed simultaneously? But I think you done it at 15:15 I'm just not sure on what setup you did to make the screen an input? Great work as always ant thanks again!

Best tutorials on YouTube for ATEM Mini!!! Helped big time!

[radmaxproductions]

Thank you, so much info to take in but very useful, I have Blacmgic studio 4K plus, Atem Mini, BMPCC 4K, looking forward to do my first livestream and my first gig in June, thinking of purchasing a BM video assist for recording the show. Thanks Alex

[LionTree]

Great video! My current queries; 1: Can the PIP be scaled larger? 2: Have you tried connecting a phone to it (via a Digital AV adapter)? 3: Also, have you messed with the audio engine... especially to have decent broadcast level of audio? Should we rely on an external dynamics instead?
Thanks in advance

This is a fantastic walk through of extra features and settings. Thanks for taking the time to share.
It’s pretty wild the features that are available considering the price point of these units.

[visionaryradiotv]

Can you please tell me. is it possible to live chroma keying at the same time with 3 cameras?

[xirtus]

so I really want to be able to push camera1 and get MP1 with chromakey Camera 1 as it's fill source -- you know so I can switch back and forth between camera two on a guest and back to camera 1 but keep my chroma key on me. Any ideas?

[DuFunauxFourneaux]

Thanks mate, really interesting content ! Just received my Atem and your videos are really useful ! Cheers

[MentPlus]

Which GoPro are you using? Do you need adapters when plugging up a GoPro Hero via the HDMI inputs?

[davidarmstrong]

Alex, you always have good stuff to share and teaching is simple and straight forward to follow Thanks. Dave
