Recording Macros
Macros need to be recorded comprehensively, in clearly defined sequences from start to finish
without error. This is because your macro will record every setting, press of a button, and
switcher action you perform. When you run a macro, all the switcher actions you recorded in
that macro will be repeated precisely.
It's worth highlighting that a macro will only record the settings you change. For example, if you
want a 3:00 second transition, and your switcher's transition rate is already set to 3:00 seconds,
you'll need to change the duration, then set it back to 3:00 seconds to record the setting. If not,
your desired transition rate will not be recorded and when the macro is run it will simply use the
transition rate your switcher was last set to. So you can see why precision is important!
If settings are changed while recording a macro and you want them restored to a particular
state, simply restore those settings while recording the final steps of the macro. You can even
record macros to restore settings for various projects. You have lots of choices. The important
thing to remember when recording a macro is that you change all the settings you need to so
you can create the specific effects you want.
Recording a Macro using ATEM Software Control
In the example below, we're going to create a macro that will set your ATEM switcher to perform
a 3 second mix transition from color bars to color 1, pause for 2 seconds, then perform a
3 second mix transition to black. Try building this macro on your ATEM switcher so you can
learn the steps in creating macros.
1 Launch ATEM Software Control and open the macros window.
2 Click on the create button in the macros window to select the create page.
3 Click on a macro slot you want to record your macro to. In this example, click on
macro slot 1. An orange border will appear around the slot you have selected.
4 Click on the create macro button, which is labeled with a 'plus' icon, to open the create
macro popup window.
If you want to, you can enter the name of your macro and type a description. This lets
you easily keep track of your macros and quickly see what each macro does. When you
click on a macro, your notes will appear in the status window.
To start recording a macro, select a macro
slot, then click on the create macro button.
Type in your notes and click 'record'.
5 Click the 'record' button.
The popup window will close and a red border will appear around your ATEM Software
Control panel indicating your macro is now recording. Notice the red 'add pause' button
at the top of the border.
