Using Macros
3 Press the ‘record’ soft button at the top of the LCD to start recording. The record icon
appears as a red circle. When recording, this icon becomes a red square.
4 Shift select color bars on the program bus. The button will flash indicating it’s a
shifted source.
5 Shift select color 1 on the preview bus.
6 Press the wipe button in transition control to ensure the macro records the wipe
transition selection.
7 In the wipe LCD menu, set the rate to 3:00 seconds.
8 Press the auto button in transition control to perform the wipe transition from color
bars to color 1.
To add a pause:
1 Press the 'add pause' button in the LCD menu and set the duration to 3 seconds by
rotating the 'seconds' knob. Press the 'confirm' soft button to record the pause.
2 Set the macro to wait for 2 seconds before applying the next transition using the
method described in the note above.
3 Now shift select black on the preview bus and press the auto transition button.
Your ATEM switcher will perform a mix transition to black.
4 Press the ‘record’ soft button to stop recording. The macro button will now illuminate
red to indicate there is a macro recorded on that slot.
You have just recorded a macro using an ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel. The macro will appear
as a macro button named ‘Macro 2’ because it is located in macro slot 2. You can name your
macro and add notes by clicking on the ‘edit macro’ button in ATEM Software Control.
To run the macro, press the macro button to set your panel’s source select row to macro mode.
The buttons will illuminate blue when in macro mode. Now press the macro 2 button. You can
easily see when a macro is running because the macro button will flash green and an orange
border appears around the LCD menu.
If your macro was successful, you should see your ATEM switcher mix from color bars to color 1
using a 3 second mix transition, pause for 2 seconds, then perform another 3 second mix
transition to black, all by pressing one button on your ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel. If you want
the macro to loop so it keeps running, press the ‘loop’ soft button to enable loop. Press again to
disable loop.
TIP If you wish, you can map buttons such as color bars, black, and color
generators to any of the main 10 buttons of the program and preview bus for
easier access. See the ‘button mapping’ section of this manual for instructions.
NOTE At this stage, you need to add a pause so the switcher knows to wait for
the transition to finish before initiating the next action.
