Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Chroma Key and Picture in Picture Overview + Set-up

[@SassePhoto]

Wow love it!!!!!!

[@dvestore]

SassePhoto thanks! We’re using Reflecmedia for the backdrop!

[@josephestes7076]

Well done. I stumbled into this technique for doing titles / lower 1/3s, live captions, timer overlays, logo bugs, and stuff like that. It's tricky to show every step, but you pulled it off. Great demo!

[@arnelcayabyab453]

You're the MPV for showing that screen at 1:25 lol. I was going crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't staying.

[@inneractive]

Great overview Guy. The chroma key demo was helpful. I'm still a little puzzled about the PIP buttons on the ATEM but I'll do some more digging and play with it.

[@curtisjudd]

Really helpful - thanks for this Guy!

[@dvestore]

Glad to help, and thanks for all the knowledge your share so freely as well!

[@CNC-Time-Lapse]

This was quite helpful. Thank you!

[@ScottyFranchyze]

Great video. How do I crop a green screen that’s not a full background?

[@ShaLaLaLaProductions]

Great video Guy. We're curious do you have a video out showing how you're able to work the chroma key with multiple cameras cutting to different shots (non-pip) maintaining the chroma key background ?

[@davidp158]

Thanks for the video demo. The ATEM Mini is quite impressive for such short money!

[@timhughes4259]

Thanks so much. I've watched a few times since last year and each time I learn more. You packed so much into this!

[@dvestore]

Thank you for the comment. Glad that the information helped!

[@JamesonsTravels]

I saw you on a youtube video helping with gear for a studio setup. Appreciate you style and demeanor. New Sub. I will be using you to buy my gear and will be checking out your website.

[@dvestore]

Thank you. Look forward to serving you in any way we can!

[@ScottCate]

Thank you - just seeing the first few seconds was helpful for me, I didn't know the default was "cut bus" and changing to "program preview" is available. Red/Green keys are soooo helpful. Thank you. if BlackMagic reads this, i'm curious why Cut is the Default, Preview seems so much more natural. Thx again, this video is extremely informative.

[@Mitchell3701]

For a dedicated keyer, I am trying to decide between a the 1080p ATEM Mini or the 4K ATEM Production Studio. Does 4K do a much better job at fine hairs and edge detail?

[@karimine]

Good night can i make green screen and picture in picture in same time with atem mini

[@RayFranklin]

Very helpful. Thanks Guy.

[@dvestore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Jonny10001]

Good job describing the functions 👍👍

[@Bdiers]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Really helped me out with my keying!

[@pjcalder1990]

Can you transition (mix) the key on and off, instead of it just cutting on and off when you hit the key buttons?

[@preprighteducationalinitia5246]

Very nice video! Helped me a lot!! 1. Can the flying key be controlled by Atem Mini device or it can be controlled only through the software? 2. In relation to PIP feature, can we custom size or we need to stick to uniform size?

[@leebenworld]

very good demonstrations!

[@mathiasegeland1941]

Awesome!

[@ChenWagshall]

hi man. this is a great video, thanks. my question is if you know a way to record a quicktime file with RGB + Alfa ?

[@weekendwargamers]

Love the video. If you were around my location I’d buy my gear from you!

[@adventurefilms]

They have shipping, lol

[@bunavision5891]

Sir, first you learn well and then teach others.thanku

[@MMABeijing]

stfu. He is not a teacher or trainer, and he has another full time job. He is simply sharing how to use this device, he is doing it whilst giving explanations and holding a mic. First be grateful, and then stfu

[@palpu]

Hello, please tell me how good is the live streaming with Atem Mini Pro?

[@FRIENDSofCAP]

Great video… I know this will sound strange but I’m a legally blind videographer and got my degree in video production back in the late 80s and I’m currently working on a contract for a local Dave school doing a promo video and I am building a studio where I purchased a lot of black magic designs equipment including the ETEM mini pro ISO switcher. I’m currently running Mac OS X latest BIGSUR version and I’m trying to find where to download the control software that is free for this unit. I saw your tutorial and I liked it a lot but you didn’t give any links that I saw in your production notes on the KZbin channel page… I did visit their design page but hit list all kinds of software but nothing for the ATEM mini pro ISO switcher or other switcher is in fact. I have and use their search option in the webpage and it still didn’t return any results. If you have a direct link you could share that would be great. Thank you… Tim

[@OilyCadre]

I would like to get an affiliate link for you guys. Can you help me out.

[@jebasingh105]

Is this Device Can Use a Live Streaming Output ?

[@pharelwawi]

Hi, Can i do picture in picture with Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K

[@Vidyograf]

Hi ! Do u know if it’s possible to assign the same background to for instance the cam 1 and cam 2 ? Or assigning different stills for cam1 and cam2 ? (Yes with atem mini)

[@dvestore]

Might have to use Media Player 1 and 2 for the BG, then use a macro to swap with the take.

[@robinmordasiewicz]

The USB output of the Atem mini is locked to a compressed MJPEG. If you connect another USB capture device to the HDMI OUT and compare the picture quality to the built in USB output you will notice that it’s very compressed and not a very good picture quality.

[@TheAustroCam]

Maybe you have an idea. I want to have a chroma key for the studio environment BUT ALSO a DVE to have a PIP placed in the scenario. But I do not find a way to use both at the same time. Has anyone an idea? It would help me VERY much ;-)

[@kipling1957]

I'm using this for simple PIP. I want PIP to turn on automatically whenever I switch to a particular input instead of having to hit the PIP ON button each time. Is this possible? Thanks.

[@jeffgough]

Yes it's possible. I'm on a Mac, but probably similar on Windows. There are two pieces of software on your computer controlling the ATEM: "ATEM Software Control" and "ATEM Setup". Open the ATEM Setup application and click on the picture of the ATEM Mini to configure it. Once in there, scroll down to "Panel Settings" and choose the radio button "Stay on with transition" under the "Picture in Picture keyer" section. This means the PIP will persist across transitions.

[@joshuakimbril8434]

I had a question, are the two outputs able to send different signals? Or are there just two different outputs sending the same things?

[@dvestore]

Program will always output to USB. HDMI Output is selectable in ATEM software to preview HDMI 1,2,3,4 or PGM

[@PaulStephenson003]

@@dvestore For beginners/newbies to ATEM and live video it would be great if they would have labeled Output to HDMI Output or been a little more clear in the UI :). I had a hard time reproducing what you were showing until I realized that I was only using USB-C (webcam) view which only shows program (to your point). Thanks for the education!

[@PaulStephenson003]

Thanks for this! Great review. Question: Can you do any transformations on incoming video - like flip horizontally? This would be crazy good for us if possible since we are trying to create a live lightboard streaming solution. I have the mini, and am new to ATEM. :) lots of experimenting and learning and not sure if this is possible but don't believe so currently.

[@dvestore]

Hi Paul, I double checked the manual and unfortunately there is not a way. We do sell a lot of Decimator MD-HX converters which will do this easily. www.dvestore.com/decimator-md-hx-miniature-hdmi-sdi-cross-converter-with-scaling-frame-rate-conversion/

[@LaurelPapworth]

Thankyou! Once I realised that you had the screen on Camera 1 and your talking head camera on Camera 3 all good! (I got turned around :P) Can I confirm you cannot use the normal PiP with Keyer? you end up with a green background in the PiP? So we HAVE to use the ATEM mini control and flying key buttons to move back and forth? I'd really like to set the flying key (top left, bottom left, full) to a hardware button on the mini, not have to find it with the mouse when I'm streaming. Any thoughts? Maybe a macro or keybinding on streamdeck or something? thank you!

[@gaips]

What mic and camera are you using? How are you plugging your audio into the camera?

[@dvestore]

GAiPS RODE performer. It is the RODELINK rack mount version for studio / live use. Plugged directly into ATEM Mini. Had a few mics to choose from, yet this one was already out and ready to go

[@gaips]

@@dvestore so the Rode rack is a 3.5mm output to 3.5mm input on the Atem?

[@dvestore]

GAiPS RODELINK performer has XLR with a MIC/LINE switch. We set it to mic and used an XLR to 3.5mm cable

[@BobKartyMusic]

DVE Store In other videos about the Mini, it was said that the microphone inputs need to be delayed to sync with HDMI video, which is has an inherent lag of a few frames. Maybe I missed it, but there didn’t seem to be sync issues between your voice and image. Why not? Thanks!

[@connor-betts]

Any one else having issues with the flying key working? It's greyed out for me.

[@IrixGuy]

Thank you for this! I know that the current software will only allow still images to be loaded as a Chroma Key backdrop. I'm making the switch from Wirecast and being able to use video backdrops was nice. If I plug the camera in front of green screen into HDMI 1 and then a laptop into HDMI 2, any issues with using the video being played by the laptop as a Chroma Key video backdrop? I haven't had my hands on this device but I'm assuming that your backdrop could have been a full-screen video playing vs. your Mac's desktop? Sub and Like added!
