This is going to save out the XML file which we will need to edit. To do that, I’ll go to the Save As… menu and I’ll give it a name - I’m just going to call this Macros and I’ll put it on the desktop. But in this case, if I want to actually sign them to the hardware buttons, I’m going to have to move them. Of course, if I don’t want to do that, I can simply go to the Run menu, here hit recall and Run and just trigger whichever Macro I would like. So, for this example, I want to take Macro G and move it into the ‘A’ position so that it will be triggered by the Macro button 1. There’s no way to simply drag and drop these around which, admittedly would be nice, but it’s just not how it works. If I want to move one of these, I can’t. In the ATEM software control, if I go to the Macros menu and open this up, you’ll see here that I have seven Macros that I’ve created Macro A, B, C, D, E, F and G, and I’ve labeled them as such just so it’s easy to track as I move them around normally obviously you’d give them a proper name. But again, if you want to rearrange them there’s no interface to do that. These buttons will trigger the first six Macros that you’ve created in your ATEM software. And as you can see on here, there are one, two, three, four, five, six Macro buttons. To show you, that let’s step into Studio B. Those six Macro buttons trigger the first six Macros in your collection - but what happens when you have more than six or you want to simply rearrange them? Unfortunately there’s no UI to do that, so to do it, we have to modify the XML. That feature would be the six Macro buttons that are built into the hardware. In this ATEM Mini tip, we’ll be looking at a feature that is unique to the ATEM Mini Extreme and the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO.


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!! 📄 Full Video Transcript 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. Well that part is easy… they trigger the first six macros in your collection. The ATEM Mini Extreme and ATEM Mini Extreme ISO have six macro buttons!! Amazing!! But… what if you have more than six macros? How do you choose which ones get triggered by those buttons? Need an ATEM Mini?īoth 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.
