How to use OBS with ATEM Mini Pro for Livestream

[@DWIT3D]

Wow, so glad I found this video. Clears up a LOT for me. I was almost thinking of selling my ATEM Mini Pro, but this changed my mind. Now I understand how to combine the two. THANK YOU!!!

[@crosswhite17]

If you only need to bring in a still or a video to the ATEM, I would just connect a mobile phone as one of the sources. A mobile phone can be used for presentations or anything that can be displayed on your phone. You can even use it as a camera source with the BlackMagic Design camera app.

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I know. It’s awesome! I actually have a short on that!

[@AliHosseinitv]

Hello I can't thank you enough you are awesome ATEM PRO really doesn't do anything important for the stream without OBS and you should use OBS to improve the quality of the stream. As always, great content from you

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Absolutely! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@joelbbarrios1]

Thanks a lot for your help. What the ATEM doesn’t provide it is useful to use OBS for some extra features especially background music. God bless.

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Thanks for watching! They are a good complimentary pairing for sure!

I use atem mini pro and pro presenter for some graphic features thanks for video, will try to use and obs

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Pro presenter is a great option as well!

Question that I'd love your feedback on....our small church plant setup: 1 laptop that does everything....running Worship Extreme, OBS with 2 cameras only....with some cheap Amazon capture cards...that work 80-90% of the time, but do freeze. I haven't felt the need to upgrade to the ATEM Mini since we don't have more than 2 cameras and the laptop has enough inputs to handle everything....but this seems like it would be more volunteer friendly, maybe. So my questions....what would we gain by switching from our current setup to a setup like yours? THANKS!

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I think your setup sounds good for now. If you wanted to add a third camera is where you’d want to look into an Atem. Adding the Atem allows for easy video switching but we run it through OBs so it would add an extra step or two to your process and in turn make the process a bit more complex for volunteers

[@micahc2340]

@@Ministry-Hacks I think next time my capture cards freeze we may upgrade. Super frustrating when that happens lol. Especially when you have a new volunteer. Thanks for the video and the comments/feedback.

Reach out anytime! Just keeping dialing things in and trying new things

How to use OBS Studio + ATEM Mini Pro: Setup Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3u8onSGjLR-hpI

[@safetyhomeloans950]

excuse my limited knowledge, but I've been using OBS Along with a Software called TouchPortal. I have it running both on my mac and as an App inside my iPad v7. This allows me to use it as a switcher while running on my iPad, currently I'm able to add any type of transitions, lower thirds, show the persons title / name as they are giving their talk, and even run a movie clip (intro) and after a set amount of time jump over to any of the camera angles I have pre assigned. Thus allowing a more auto flow from Intro to Live Camera view. Again I'm not sure if I'm missing something the ATEM mini can do that my current set up does not already have. Besides recording multiple cam view and audio *under the new Atem Mini Pro ISO. Any one?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Sounds like you have a nice little setup! Atem is just one way to do it, not the only way. But you can definitely do all those things you mentioned on the Atem using OBS as well.

[@killerplumber]

How do you setup the atem mini pro into OBS? Just trying to stream in OBS

[@Ministry-Hacks]

You need to add a “video input device” in OBS and select black magic design. And if you want the audio from the atem you also need to set an audio input device as well. I’ll try and put together a little video here soon showing how to do this. But I hope this helps in the meantime!

[@killerplumber]

@@Ministry-Hacks that would be awesome to do a step by step for us noobs. Not a lot of info that I could find on getting it setup with a BM

[@sgriffin760]

Also check your computer sound make sure it’s not muted. New to obs getting away from wirecast

[@lancemechaneck4677]

Does the advanced scene switche OBS plugin work with the ATEM Mini Pro?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

OBS works with the Atem mini pro, but the Atem is a video/audio input source into OBS so I’m not sure if the plugin would work to control the Atem if that’s what you’re asking

[@mleindek]

Thank you for your video! Question, do you have any delay or audio out of sync with the video?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Not on the stream that we’ve noticed.

[@MathewVarkey-lp6gp]

Hey nice video. I have a project where 10 different TikTok accounts should stream simultaneously. Each account will have 2 external cameras connected probably to the Blackmagic switcher. Each TikTok account will also have its own recorded voice inputs. What is the ideal infrastructure setup needed?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I’m not super familiar with streaming to TikTok. If you were trying to stream the same video and audio to all 10 accounts you could use a third party called Restream with OBS. It lets you stream to multiple channels at once, but it will be the same stream for all of them. Otherwise I think you’d need something more robust than one atem mini.

[@MathewVarkey-lp6gp]

Thanks@ I guess TikTok doesn’t allow streaming of recorded videos. The plan is for each TikTok account to have its own external camera setup and live-stream content. What product would you suggest besides the ATEM Extreme? I can do some research on it as well. Thanks!

[@nazpasfred3]

We are using much of the same gear. We have one major hurdle to overcome, the sound of the worship singing. No problem with the single microphone use, just when we sing the sound is all choppy and mostly nonexistent. Any idea what to look for?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Worship is the hardest hurdle with sound. Most likely your mix is peaking out and you need to turn down the mix you are sending to your Atem or whatever you’re using. Or if you have a noise gate or threshold set it’s hitting that gate and cutting it out. And then you can fine tune the volume up or down within the atem.

[@chasinglightllc]

Did you add the ATEM mini pro as video source or a display source?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Add the Atem as a video capture device.

[@WTSPod]

can you have a split screen in obs with two different cameras using the atem mini pro?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Unfortunately no, but you can set up a Picture in Picture on the atem that will allow for two inputs on one screen in OBS

[@sorianoenterprises]

Is there a midi controller you use for your ATEM? What is it and how do you use it? Great video and subject by the way.

[@Ministry-Hacks]

No midi controller. Just the ATEM and OBS on our MacBook

[@winnipegmusic]

During our livestream at Church is it possible to bring in a small video from PowerPoint or a Scripture from PowerPoint that our Pastor projects on the screen during the livestream?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

What kind of setup are you running? I know you can with Pro Presenter, not sure about power point but I would assume you could

[@fantasybay9888]

Great Video! I am using an ATEM Mini Extreme Iso and sometimes my OBS cant find my Video Capture Device ( Blackmagic Design (Atem)). It will work for a week or 2 then randomly obs cant find it. I am not sure what is causing it. Do you ever run into this?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I do experience that too. Not sure why exactly, but if you go to properties for your source in OBS and select a different video input and then switch back to the Blackmagic it works.

[@fantasybay9888]

@@Ministry-Hacks Thanks, I really appreciate you responding! Does it ever show blackmagic as grayed out for you? When i am in Properties under device, Black magic is grayed out. So when i click the other device the blackmagic option goes away completely.

[@Ministry-Hacks]

No I haven’t encountered that 🤔

[@AbnerMercado-wu2fm]

Can you add countdown clock in ATEM Mini Pro ISO?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I wish! But you can by adding OBS to your setup

[@onthegreenmedia2438]

Great video and this is looking like something we are going to do! My question, and it might be a dumb one, but are you streaming through the ATEM Mini Pro or are you streaming through OBS and using the ATEM Mini Pro as solely a switcher?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

We stream through OBS and use the ATEM as a switcher. It allows us a little more versatility with putting pre recorded intro videos in

[@hannahlanier1609]

But you can put GFX into OBS right? And utilize it that way?

Yes you can 👍🏼

[@haykalaverdyan6581]

Could you please tell me what settings to put in camera? It’s r6 mark ii. How it has to work in camera?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I would start by setting your camera to 1080p 30fps. You can set the SD card recording to 4k but if you are trying to use 4k out to your atem mini pro, it may not pick it up.

[@gardnerfaithchapel226]

I'm having trouble making a connection to the ATEM like you have for your scene, I'm sure it's simple, but my atem isn't showing up as a source for some reason...

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Check your video source. Try changing it to something else like your computer webcam, then back to the Blackmagic design. See if that works. If you don’t see Blackmagic design as an option make sure everything is connected properly

[@silverkaweesi9796]

Great

[@Ministry-Hacks]

[@minarimon3106]

I have atem mini pro And the resulting video is very laggy regarding that my output is 4k and settings are 800 iso , shutter speed 1/50 Any idea how do I solve the lagging problem ??

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Are you streaming or are you recording? The atem only puts out 1080 resolution either way. But if you are streaming it could be your internet connection causing the lagging. Iso and shutter speed shouldn’t cause lagging.

[@minarimon3106]

@@Ministry-Hacks I am recording not streaming any idea how to fix this ??

[@Ministry-Hacks]

What are you recording to? Are you using the atem to record or a different computer or software? Check your bitrate and resolution settings in atem or whatever you may be using

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Atem mini pro doesn’t have 4k output so that may be part of your problem. It could be clogging up the cache inside the atem because it has to encode all of that, and it will put it out in 1080 max resolution

[@manthony60]

Can the video show through Propresenter?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

We haven't tried, but I am sure there is a way if you setup a new Screen Configuration for the video input

You have to create a source in OBS

Do I have to use a usb c to connect the atem to obs?

Yes. To connect it to your computer. The atem has the usbc output. You could use an adapter if your computer doesn’t have a usb-c port

Make sure all your resolution settings are correct in OBS. And possibly, if your cpu is older it may not be able to handle the work load OBS requires.

[@djxcel23]

I have elgato face cams they are not showing up in the atem mini. So i need something else for the camera to show

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Can you adjust the output resolution on the cameras? Atem highest resolution is 1080. Also adjust the FPS if you can. make sure your Atem is setup for the specific FPS your cameras are set to. Otherwise if your cameras fps is higher than the Atem it’ll be a black screen. I’m not familiar with Elgato cameras tho but that’s my experience with other cameras not working.

[@djxcel23]

@@Ministry-Hacks the atem mini doesn’t power the camera. I looked at some other videos online. I would have to get a cheap camera, mainly a aps-c camera in order to use it. The elgato are basically useless

Hello! We’re a very small church, trying to livestream with all of the latest tech. Our main issue right now is audio coming from our Behringer x32 compact. We have no problem with audio from our computer (videos and mp3/4 files. I guess need help with getting the audio from the Behringer x32, through the ATEM mini pro, to the Facebook live stream. Currently it is silent, even though the ATEM shows volume levels. I am also having issues with getting my Stream Deck MK.2 to control my PTZ Optics camera angles. I’ve been trying to figure this mess out for about a year and I’ve reached my limit. Help!

[@Ministry-Hacks]

Thanks for reaching out! I am part of a small church as well so I totally understand trying to figure everything out. It's hard to say what exactly you need. But I guess let me start by asking what audio levels are you seeing in the ATEM and what is connected that is giving it audio?

[@Ministry-Hacks]

We run a long xlr to 3.5mm from our Midas MR18. From one of the AUX outputs on the Midas to the mic input on the back of the ATEM. Make sure the mic button on the ATEM itself is set to on, or you will not have any audio. The audio you currently see coming through the ATEM may be the audio from the cameras if they have microphones built in. You can mute each camera angle individually on the ATEM. Once you have that setup, you should be able to control all the audio coming through the ATEM via your sound board by making a specific audio mix for the AUX or BUS output. We use the AUX outputs for several things. One goes to the monitor for worship, which we create a custom mix for the worship leaders. Then we have one for livestream which is also custom for livestream. And we use one other mix that goes to a speaker at our front door which we also create a custom mix for. I hope some of this helps. Its hard to diagnose without seeing it, but it is do able. Don't give up!

[@Ministry-Hacks]

I googled the Behringer x32 compact. You should be able to run a cable from one of the xlr outputs or one of the 1/4 aux outputs to your ATEM. You just have to make sure that channel is unmuted on the Behringer and unmuted on the ATEM.

[@timfrancisco3692]
