Using Macros

What is a Macro?

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.

The Macros Window in ATEM Software Control

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.
