You are amazing! I have been recruited to do live-streaming at my church and had no idea how to put together a really aesthetic experience for our online viewers. Watching your videos have helped me so much! We even purchased the Mars 400 S transmitters because of a video I watched of you talking about them! I appreciate what you do for people like me, needing help with these things. Thank you so much!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@jiveaces]

You have by far the clearest and best tutorials for the Atems, thank you!

[@AskJoe]

Thanks! Your videos have not only saved me hours of time, but made things possible that I would've otherwise given up on out of frustration. This technique in particular frees up my Shuttle HD to record, while allowing me a lot more flexibility in the kinds of media I can play. (The Shuttle HD is notoriously difficult when you try to mix videos recorded with different frame rates, audio settings, codecs, etc.). Using your technique I can queue up openings and other clips with a lot more freedom.

[@AlexPettitt]

Thanks again for the support Joe, massively appreciated. And yes agree with what you've said about the Hyperdecks...they like to have everything set to the same framerate etc to be able to be visible for playback. Glad to hear that using OBS as a playout system is working well for you :)

[@AskJoe]

​@@AlexPettitt I tested the workflow you described on the ATEM Mini Pro ISO in my office that I use for Zooms to confirm the workflow and it works flawlessly, thanks to you, Alex. I'll repeat the steps with my studio setup using the Extreme ISO and then re-think using the Shuttle for clips because as I mentioned in another comment, it doesn't seem possible to use one Shuttle HD for both playback and recording and I really need to have a backup in case it freezes again. I picked up a new SanDisk Extreme Pro that claims to have 2000 MB/s read/write speeds and this time I'm going to use exFAT to see if that prevents the problem. Either way I'll also split my final output so I can capture the program on my Atomos. Lastly, I'm re-thinking my primary cameras so I can have even more backups for the individual cameras. I know my 90D can't record to SD while exporting clean HDMI, but my Lumix G85 should be able to do this, so perhaps I'll either get another one, or a BM Pocket 4K. You can never have too many backups. :)

[@erich93063]

This is BRILLIANT! I was going to create a fake Hyperdeck on the Raspberry Pi using PlayoutBee, which I still might do, but I literally just set this up in OBS with 3 videos and used Companion to control the scenes from my phone and it was completely setup in less than 10 minutes and worked perfectly. SO AWESOME.

[@kamenwaticlients]

If you don't mind me asking, what is Companion?

[@erich93063]

@@kamenwaticlients It's free software that gives you hooks in to various software and hardware that allows you to control them with programmable buttons. You can then use these buttons on your phone or computer or with physical buttons on a Stream Deck. bitfocus.io/companion/

[@tfechtenburg]

I have build a Raspberry Pi for the same purpose, playing video files, and for transitions on my ATEM Mini Pro. I use the OMXPlayer, from a command line. Playback is controlled via Companion, and a Stream Deck, and will also do the switching inputs automatically 😀 It’s a bit more advanced to setup, but once it is done, you have a very compact, and stable solution. The same Raspberry Pi is also used as a Streaming Brigde (like the Blacmagic version), so other ATEMs can stream to my device. Thanks for this great video 👍

[@AlexPettitt]

This is awesome Thomas! What raspberry pi are you using for it, a 4? And have you ever had any playback / frame rate issues using the Pi?

@@AlexPettitt I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4 4 Gb I have used the install process below github.com/sosedoff/omxremote I use Companion, to send the commands to control playback, as well as switching input.

[@ceciliahuston1097]

Just wanted you to know that we struggled for many hours with getting our church service audio to come through on live stream until we went through OBS first. The mixer went into the ATEM Mini, then to the laptop, and the audio was baaaddd. The voice audio wasn't as bad, but the organ music was terrible. Our tech guy that set it all up (hired in) was pulling his hair out, since in person everything sounded great. Even tried adjusting the audio in the ATEM, that didn't help. But when we ran the live stream through the OBS first, the sound was fixed! Thanks for your great videos!

[@djortiz]

can you explain how it is setup up to have audio go through OBS first please.

[@ceciliahuston1097]

@@djortiz I didn't personally set it up, our tech guy did, but there's probably KZbin videos out there on how to do it. I do know that the start and stop of the live-stream is controlled in OBS, and nothing plays in the KZbin streaming until we start there. Good luck, hope you can find answers, sorry I could not help more!

[@kjvisual7]

Wow thank you! I just started using OBS this week. The audio routing didn't make sense. Your advice to exit OBS after changing the a sources audio to mon/out w changes everything. This video is encouraging. Now I am considering using another copy of OBS on another computer exclusively for media playback via NDI. I want to see alpha channel over NDI in action. Keep making helpful videos.

[@jmelgraves]

Hi Alex! Great tutorial. I was able to follow along, setup VT's to play after I press my computer source video on the atem and select the video in OBS. Where I'm stuck is at 8:48, I'm trying to understand how you played the video in the atem mini program feed as a clean looking video and it's not showing the obs controls like you have on your background? I don't understand what I might have missed ?? I even went back to the 5:00 mark, but my windows doesn't drag over like yours and even then I'm not sure how you could have started the video so cleanly and not displaying the obs control screen?? How?? lol.. :-/

[@AlexPettitt]

Hey J’Mel, it sounds to me like when you connected your ATEM Mini to your computer, your computer is in MIRROR mode, instead or EXTENDED DISPLAY. Try setting to extended display in widows display settings and all should work fine. Any trouble, just give me another shout here in the comments :)

[@jmelgraves]

@@AlexPettitt Thank you so much !! I did have my computer in mirror mode. There is no way I would have figured that out! I didn’t even know the atem mini can serve as an extended display. I’m not sure if this is the way you did it particularly in your example, but once I moved my full screen projector window over to the mini, I put OBS into studio mode, and I was able see how you can queue other videos to preview and then cut them to the program side smoothly. These are such powerful little tools with so many possibilities! I appreciate you taking the time to help me out and thank you for teaching!

[@younken24films]

@@jmelgraves Thanks, I had this question too. I'm still not sure I understand what you dragged the window over to and need to go back to where I work to try it.

[@jmelgraves]

​@@younken24films You're welcome! And I'll try my best to help you. I'll tell you my setup and hopefully that will help. I have my macbook pro on hdmi 4 of my atem mini (you can use hdmi 1-4). On my macbook, I have my airplay set to "use as a separate display". The hdmi out on my atem mini is going into a camlink 4k into the usb of my imac. When I'm using zoom or a quicktime movie recording.. and I press hdmi 4 on my atem mini, I'm viewing the extended display of my macbook. When I drag any window on my macbook to the far far right over to my extended screen, that is what I will see when I'm presenting in zoom (or quicktime) when I press hdmi 4. What I was sharing about OBS .. I open OBS on my macbook and I put it in "Studio Mode". I go to the program window (the right side), right-click, and select either "full screen projector (program) and select bmd hdmi" and that will automatically play whatever I'm playing in obs as the program. Or if I choose "Windowed Projector (program)" and if I move that to my extended display, whatever I play in OBS that is what will show when I'm on hdmi 4. There are multiple ways to achieve the same thing depending on your setup, but hopefully this helps you with the concept.

Would like to see more on ATEM+OBS this was really cool. I'd also be interested to see how you could do action replay.

[@FrankMulderVideo]

You can setup recording of the last x seconds and with one button it can start a new scene with that recorded replay. I used when I stream the field hockey match. When scored, I press record and then it keeps the last 10 secs since I pressed. The I pres replay and with a plugin I automatically after 10 sec switch to a different stream that plays out that short piece of video at 50% speed. Viewers love it.... 🙂

at 5:33, do we have to have the setup for the OBS operating computer set to have a second screen as a projector? cause if you don't have it set and you select fullscreen projector then your main monitor becomes the fullscreen and you lose all control of scenes and OBS. is this correct?

[@DZPianoMusic]

Hi Alex … I truly appreciate your videos as they’re clear and helpful! I’m an online music teacher, and over the past few years, I’ve had inconsistencies and some difficulties live streaming videos of my students’ seasonal performances. I’d like to NOW stream directly (via Ethernet) into a platform that’s accessible by ANYONE (ie NOT Facebook LIVE), but without a subscription service, as I’ve used before (with mixed results) If possible, could you verify if the following livestream “signal path” seems correct: 1. OBS (on a MacBook) accesses video file(s) that reside on the same MacBook 2. Video and Audio (configured as you described) are sent out of OBS, via HDMI to the ATEM mini 3. ATEM mini is connected via Ethernet to a router (ATEM webcam out is disconnected from the desktop Mac I use for interactive classes) 4. Streaming platform of choice then accesses the ATEM mini, ie video files, live cameras, live audio I suppose that monitoring the livestream broadcast should be from another device (not the same MacBook) THANKS!

[@QuicksilverSG]

On the Mac, there's a video server app called Mitti, which can be configured to emulate a HyperDeck Studio player. That gives you the unique ability to launch video playback from the ATEM Software Control app, or via a macro button programmed on an ATEM Mini. The main drawback to Mitti is the licensing fee, but it's worth it for those who prefer to use hardware controllers rather than a mouse.

[@okfstudioostrov1909]

[@tooshmart6669]

So technically I can..... -also add more inputs through to the atem mini through OBS and other capture cards connected to OBS -Pre-switch a single input of the atem mini with OBS -For example if I have two capture cards plus the Atem Mini, I can add the two capture cards to OBS, then add OBS to the Atem mini through an hdmi input. -Great vid, thanks

[@JenniferLaveryFBE]

This may be a really beginner question, but what are the advantages of having OBS feed into ATEM rather than have ATEM as an input to OBS with OBS controlling the feed?

[@ognyanstrelkov3773]

Because you can’t get different tracks via the ATEM to OBS, essentially, the ATEM becomes a webcam. In effect, ATEM gets 3 inputs, mixes all of the tracks and goes to OBS.

[@evzenkovar297]

when you have ISO you can record OBS output as isolated track directly from Atem Mini iso

[@DihelsonMendonca]

⚠️ I do everything you show on this video all on OBS, including switching, no Atem needed. But I recently purchased an Atem mini Pro to integrate things. Unfortunately, Atem has no control over the sources size. My cameras are different, and they generate images inside a frame. How to make atem mini pro fit correctly the cameras images into the place ? I need to crop, resize, zoom the source, but looks like Atem has no these useful tools. 😮😮😮

Why would you go to the extra step of OBS when you can play videos from your laptop with Quicktime player?

[@AirbrushDownandDirtyTricks]

Thats great. i need to get my ipad to talk t my atem. been having issues

[@enregistreur]

I tried this solution but had some frame rate issues, but maybe it was due to my paricular setup, or the frame rate of the videos themselves. Also, I wanted to use the DownStreamKey on the ATEM, so I tried combining h2r graphics with a window capture in OBS, projecting over itself the Program of OBS. It somewhat worked, but was laggy and less clean than the « native » output of H2R graphics. I’d love to see Blackmagic update their more powerful ATEM’s with the feature of the Mini’s. With 2 cameras + videos/slides + Key&fill, I’m quickly out of available ports on the Mini. 😅

[@AlexPettitt]

Hey Enregistreur, Window Capture always seems to throw up some frame rate issues for some reason, try and give Desktop Capture instead (it seems to be a more stable method in OBS). And I totally agree with you, would love to see some of the features in ATEM Mini brought to their professional switchers.

[@bradley7227]

Can you embed video in a powerpoint - share your presentation from you iPad via apple tv and get the audio to play on the ATEM Mini? I have tried but I can't seem to get the audio.

[@EdwardKilner]

I have used OBS a tiny bit, so I understood most of that. I don’t have an ATEM, so I didn’t get how it fit in, exactly. I could understand the computer running OBS having an HDMI output to the ATEM. What was it/should it be connected to? What else is connected to the ATEM? Would you be operating OBS in addition to the ATEM? And, I gather the iPad topic was separate? I really can’t tell whether you did a good job or not. I did already have you on my subscriber list and will look around your sight.

So this works but I stream from OBS and use Atem as a capture. This setup creates a weird loop but if I had a separate Laptop with OBS and this is gold

[@nielsott]

Some people might prefer doing this with VLC. It can also use a separate fullscreen "projector" /window that you can put on the external monitor output, so into the Atem Mini. In this case, you have to ensure that VLC stops playback at the end of a clip. Which one is better for the purpose, VLC or OBS, depends on your taste. VLC is a bit easier, you can just construct a playlist from all kinds of media (also images). OBS allows for adding text, doing effects, even chroma keys and also has this multiview window that can be operated via touchscreen.... but requires more preparation.

[@bogdann00]

Im actually using it the other way around, im sending the atem into obs. its easier to have the graphics and animated things in obs rather than the default ones in the graphic h2r. the only problem that i have is the audio doesnt instantly cut when switching scenes.

[@dennist.9579]

same here, because I have a team when working on a stream, it becomes such a breeze if there's a lot of inputs like powerpoint slides, videos, or what not.

Actually I used that way... I think it is more easier... just using the ATEM for the camera switching.

As an annotation, with Restream and Streamyard you can do something similar but with the Atem connected as a webcam and I do not know if that in the end deteriorates the quality.

What cable to connect the ATEM from The Mac that is using OBS?

[@jaynandezfilmsinc]

Hey! I followed step by step but the audio isn't passing thru to the ATEM. :(

[@tedz2000]

Alex can you share if possible how to obtain the OBS NETWORK plugin to connect companion thanks....

[@e.leewhite7907]

It would be great if you would do a tutorial on using the Stream deck with the ATEM & OBS

[@silvercranestudios6259]

So obs would recognize the atem as a single source even though you would have multiple cameras connected to it? And you could select the atem as the obs source and then use the atem to switch cameras? Could you preview the atem camera inputs in obs before switching between them?

Hi, great video.. One week before I set up all and it works.. But now, the sound doesnt work in my video and I dont know where could be the problem.. I set up all like you show in video but I dont have in my stream sound from my pre recorded video.. Dont you know where could be problem? Thank you so much

I don't own an ATEM, but I use OBS in combination with a capture card, StreamDeck and a GoXLR. And I wonder, what is the advantage of using an ATEM? To me currently it looks somewhat redundant to the possibilities of OBS.

I am looking for a video about Atem Mini to OBS. Aside from usb, is it possible to send video via Network?

[@iadityagupta]

Is it necessary to connect Lan cable to Atem Mini Pro while streaming on facebook and youtube?

[@djnoji8638]

Do you ever use a stream deck? If so, how would you?

[@oxag1]

Thanks For The video Alex. Can I add stream alerts and laptop cam with this method?

[@PadBoll]

What is a better streaming platform ? KZbin codec's tend to make the video compressed & laggy for live event. Got a good alternative ?

[@paulsloan297]

What program are you using on the iPad? Great video.

[@hyrumql]

please i would love to know, thank you

[@iamxado]

Streamdeck app for Trigger the controls.

[@cornevdlaar6572]

I'm using Touch portal for iOS. Isn't the same as in the video but it works!

[@jeffburkholder202]

Enjoyed the video tutorial. Great job. Though, the iPad app that was the one-button video transition, I'm assuming that's Bluetooth to your laptop and communicating to the OBS? Or is it communicating to the ATEM mini? What is that App?

[@stevejanzen7765]

Hi, Probably a dumb question but when I play my videos through the Atem they do not look good. Does it have to do with the Hue setting in Atem software control? I am totally new at this....

[@jllifestyle656]

Is it possible to have my Atem as an input in obs, and work there in multi view with source 1 (Atem) and source 2 (media) to Safe my 4 camera inputs for my DSLRs and have media as 5th input in obs? Then I could switch my cams on the Atem and play in media in obs if I need to. Does it work?
