Saving your Settings

available settings on each block of your ATEM switcher. The Select All checkbox is
enabled by default. If you save with Select All enabled, ATEM Software Control saves

ATEM Software Control saves your settings as an XML file together with a folder for ATEM
Media Pool contents.
After you have saved your settings you can quick save at any time by selecting File>Save, or by
pressing Command S for Mac, or Ctrl S for Windows. Doing so will not overwrite your previous
save, but will add a new XML file to your destination folder which is clearly identified with a time
and date stamp. This means you can always restore a previous save if necessary.
With ATEM Software Control you can save and restore all
your switcher settings for your live production, including key
settings, transition styles, media pool contents and more

Restoring your Settings

1 Go to the menu bar in ATEM Software Control and select File>Restore.
2 A window will ask for the file you want to open. Select your save file and click Open.
3 You'll now see a window containing active checkboxes for your saved settings on
each block of your ATEM switcher. Leave Select All enabled to restore all your saved
settings, or select only the checkboxes for the settings you want to restore.
4 Click Restore.
If your switcher settings are saved on a laptop, it's easy to take all your settings with you on
location. Connect your laptop to any ATEM switcher and quickly restore your switcher settings.
