Using Macros

A macro is an easy way to automate a sequence of switcher actions so you can repeat the

sequence at the press, or click, of a button. For example, you can record a sequence of

transitions between several video sources, including key effects, audio mixer adjustments,

camera control settings and more. Record all your actions to a macro button, then when you

press that button all your recorded actions will be instantly performed. Macros are recorded

using the macros window in ATEM Software Control, and are stored inside your ATEM Mini.

You can run all your recorded macros using the software control panel.

To open the macros window in ATEM Software Control, click on macros in the title bar, or you

can also press shift/command/M for Mac, or shift/control/M for Windows. The macros window

is a floating window you can move freely about your desktop. This is so you can always access

the window when moving between the switcher, media, audio and camera pages. While

recording a macro, you can even reduce the size of the window by clicking on the minimize icon

at the top right corner.

Macros can be recorded to any of the 100 macro slots. Up to 20 macro slots are visible on

each page. Move forwards and backwards through pages by clicking on the arrows on the

bottom sides of the window. Clicking on the create and run buttons lets you swap between

the create and run pages so you can record your macros, and then run them during your

live production.

The macros window in

ATEM Software Control lets

you record and run macros

so you can easily repeat a

sequence of complex switcher

actions at the click of a button.
