Both the ATEM Mini Extreme and ATEM Mini Extreme ISO have six hardware macro buttons on them, which is fantastic! Finally, you can trigger a macro from a physical button on your ATEM. But which ones do they trigger?
Well, that part is easy… they trigger the first six macros in your collection. But what if you want to move a macro from, say, position seven into position one so that you can trigger it from the hardware? To do that, you need to edit the XML file.
It's not that scary, I promise. In this video, I'll show you how. Time to roll up your sleeves, download BBEdit (or just use any text editor, but BBEdit makes it easier), and pretend you know how to code!!
The “ATEM (mini) Tips” collection is an ongoing series of small tips for your @BlackmagicDesignOfficial ATEM hardware - no matter which model you use. Offering answers and solutions to common questions and problems, these tips are bite-sized videos to help you get the most from your investment.

Did you know know this is how you have to move the buttons around? I hope this tip is helpful, and if you want to see more, be sure to subscribe! kzbin.info

Another great lil tip. Thank you

[@photojoseph]

Thanks!

Now I need to upgrade my Atem Mini Pro to Extreme only 😛 But thanks for sharing workarounds like this.

[@photojoseph]

I wish it was easier to do, but this is the way!

[@IngoWoelke]

Thanks man, this is pretty helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@photojoseph]

Thank you!

[@alan.macrae]

Thank you sir. This is most useful.

[@photojoseph]

Awesome!

[@RodrigoLeocadio]

Very good tip!!

[@scouter-xn6zi]

Are there hotkeys for triggering the macros ? (disclaimer : I have googled it before posting this question. All I could find is how to do that in Word, Excel etc. - nothing about the ATEM software)

[@photojoseph]

There are not. Look into bitfocus.io Companion for alternative ways to trigger shortcuts and macros

[@kylelowe]

Joseph lives!

[@photojoseph]

Haha yes… it’s been a busy four weeks!

Hey got your tips in email but the ATEM classes pushed me to pay. Thank

[@photojoseph]

That’s wonderful to hear, thank you. See you in the Discord!

[@ckjjclan]

Nice... thanks!

[@photojoseph]

Glad you liked it!

[@MBugsFan]

I have made 2 macros that can both be triggered by a StreamDeck. I need one to continuously loop, and I need the other to play once only. Is there a way to set this in macro itself (turn and turn off the loop)? I have to manually go in and turn the loop on and off, which really defeats the purchase of the streamdeck. Any thoughts?

[@photojoseph]

Hmm, have you tried recording a macro of toggling loop? And are you using Companion as well? If not, how are you triggering the Macros on the Stream Deck?

[@MBugsFan]

Yes tried to create a macro turning loop on and off, but it does not record the action. I’m using Companion

[@berkonberkon]

Is it possible to run macros on ATEM extreme without a PC? I mean after they've been created previously via the software. Just don't want to be dependent on a PC during a show.

[@photojoseph]

Wow that’s a really good question. I can’t test it now, but I’m going to guess NO. I seriously doubt that those first six macros are stored in the ATEM’s memory. Would be very cool if they were though.

[@berkonberkon]

@@photojoseph Thanks for your Reply Joseph!

[@4theWINMEDIA]

Have you seen any way of selected which angles to iso record. I’m often in scenarios where I have 4 inputs but only wish to record one and master to save on disk space and processing usage.

[@photojoseph]

No, it always records all angles. It has to do with the generated Resolve file. Without the angles recorded it’d have nothing to connect to. However the empty angles are recorded as black and take very very little disk space.

[@Polar-Star]

I have just started to use the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. I have added macros to control our various camera angles, especially using the Super Source. While the buttons work great, they do not light up at all when you're using them. Is there any way to have the buttons illuminate when they are used?

[@photojoseph]

No, because they aren’t “on”. All it’s doing is sending a command, like volume up or down.

[@Polar-Star]

@@photojoseph According to my colleague who sent a request on this, Black Magic Design Technical Support sent back this reply, "As for the Macro Buttons, the they will only illuminate when running the macro, so if it is just a quick switch it will not illuminate for very long, if you add pauses between the selections, the button will illuminate for the duration of the macro." I've tried this but I haven't been successful.

[@photojoseph]

@Polar-Star oh that’s interesting. I don’t have an extreme at the moment to test on, sorry. Make sure you’re on the latest software, build a macro that has pauses, and if you still don’t see it, follow up with their support again.

[@Unique_Media01]

Thanks for this video. But in using Atem Mini Pro, is there a possible way to have a monitor for both Multiview and as well for program so as to monitor the videos coming in as well as what we are sending out since the device has only one hdmi output? Also, if the output is set to Multiview in a live broadcasting, how do you ensure that Multiview is not what is going out for the people (audience) to see?

[@photojoseph]

Multiview includes the program (top right quarter of the view), so that’s how you know what is in Program. Multiview can ONLY be played over the HDMI output, so the live encoder and USB output can only ever show the Program.

[@Unique_Media01]

@@photojoseph I mean a situation whereby you have monitors to feed the audience and the hdmi output is connected to the monitor at the workstation which is on Multiview, how do you send only the Program to the monitor that feeds the congregation or can the USB be converted to hdmi?

[@photojoseph]

USB can't be converted to HDMI. You need the Extreme model, with dual HDMI ports.

[@avalonvideo327]

May i ask PLEASE how does this work on a PC with notepad because your using a MAC

[@photojoseph]

Any plain text editor will do. If you can find one that formats code like BBEdit, then it'll be easier to follow. Check this out winningwp.com/free-and-premium-text-editing-software-programs-for-macs-and-windows/

[@oldman4827]

Try Notepad++. It is an editor for writing sourcecode for programs, software. It has the color coding and folding.

[@ianlogan9415]

Is it possible to change the size of the PIP windows on the default PiP buttons?

[@photojoseph]

Unfortunately no

[@ianlogan9415]

@@photojoseph thank you.

[@wiideathmodtv]

Can you make a video on restoring xml with the stream deck if it is possible

[@photojoseph]

Restoring? I’m not sure what you mean.

[@wiideathmodtv]

@@photojosephexample I have a setings for youtube channel a and b how would I be able to switch between the two settings with the stream deck

[@photojoseph]

Oh I see. You want the a streamDeck button to load a different XML profile into the ATEM. Hmm, I wonder if you can do that with a macro, then trigger the macro with the streamDeck. Have you looked at bitfocus companion? It might do it too.

[@wiideathmodtv]

@photojoseph have not tried but will try would this make a good video subject though? Sorry for so many questions!

[@photojoseph]

@wiideathmodtv it could! I’ll add it to the list but it won’t be soon

[@studio2withdjkp]

you remind me of Fry
