Hello Tim. GREAT video (as you always do). One question that was not answered: If I want to have my PiP persist on one specific channel but not appear on other channels, how is that done on the Atem Mini? Currently, as you recommended, I have changed the PiP Keyer to "Stay on with transitions" but now the "Key 1" button simply alternates between on/off with each transition. My goal is to always have PiP on Channel 3 but OFF for Channels 1, 2 and 4. I would prefer to not use a macro because I am presenting standing up and I'm trying to use the mini controls as much as possible. Any direction will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Great info. I have a question similar to this one where we want the PIP of camera 1 on 2&3 but not shown when the main screen is back as camera 1. Can this be set as above for PIP to show differently on transition from camera to camera.
Hi Tim, you do a very good job on youtube, cool and friendly but it's proffessional. One question: how do you appear two pip at the same time by pointing at them. You are not a magician but I would like to know. Is there a video about that. Thank you
Thank you for the detailed picture-in-picture review. I couldn't find it anywhere.I thought it was only one size. But doubted and finally the luck.I found your review.
Great video, very clear and informative.... One question, can you do 2 separate picture in pictures? We have a board gaming channel and to show both players in either top corner separately. Cheers!
Thanks for the great Question. The ATEM mini only has the one keyer for PIP. BMD do have other cool toys for more permanent setups with multiple upstream and downstream keyers
Thanks for the videos on the BMD ATEM mini. I'm unsure if something has changed as many of the videos covering the mini are a bit old. I have the latest software, version 8.8, and some layouts must have changed, or it might be because I'm not using a network. I'm connecting using the USB c, and when I go to the PIP functions, I do not see resizing the PIP window option. In addition, when I got to the setting cog I do not see the same options. Also, I'm primarily getting started with BMD and using it to capture in OBS. Have you noticed any changes like this from this video to the current versions of BMD's software? Am I missing something?
The computer just sees it as another monitor and the ATEM just sees another hdmi stream. Sometimes I set it as an independent monitor and sometimes I mirror to it. Works well both ways :) Let me know how it goes!!
Hello Tim.. Great video! Thank you. One question I can't figure out.. How do I setup the ATEM mini to cut to a picture in picture with just one button? Currently, I have to switch to cam 4 then turn on the pip. I need a one button solution where when I choose cam 4, the pip comes on automatically.. Is it possible? Thank you!!
Thanks for this--very helpful! The frustrating thing for me is that I have not found a way to save custom PIP settings. The default is always too small so I have to set the whole thing up again each time I fire up the ATEM mini. Am I missing something?
Fantastic video thank you.Just wondering if you know a way to associate a flying key, that you have for a picture in picture, with a matte? So that you could animate on a picture in picture but not just a square box, it would take the shape and the animation from the associated matte
Great vid, If the ATEM is powered off and on will it remember the last settings (even if not connected to the software?) I am looking to do a 50/50% pip using 2 external cameras and want it to be as plug and play as poss.
Great Question Allan - and to be honest I'm not sure. I'm actually about to make an updated video about PIP as a lot has changed in the last year! so watch this space!
Hi Tim. Tons of good info. Learned a lot. I am trying to rotate the PiP video to run vertical. The rotate option is grayed out for me and in your video I saw that it was grayed as well. Is there a way to rotate the PiP with the Atem software?
Can you apply a chromatic key on the camera background. I’m standing in front of a green screen, so the PIP background is stuck raw or can you key it? Thanks! Great video by the way.
Sadly thats not possible right now. Everyone is asking this though so I'll see if can get an answer from BMD. The buttons just run a macro so it must me possible, and just need to software to allow it.
We just got the atem mini pro. The other day we actually were able to set it so that anytime we switched from our main camera to our secondary camera, it automatically did a picture in picture with the main shot still showing small in the corner.. We since have not been able to figure out how we set it to that lol... Any idea?
Dude this was great ! I'm looking getting one of these . One question i have is once the pip is resized and the pip image be selected via the Mini control or does it need to be selected from the software ?
You can turn the PiP on and off on the deck, but if you change position with the buttons it resets default parameters. I’d love to be able to update those in firmware!!
Hey Tim, thanks for your channel man 🙌🏼 Is there anyway you can assign media into unused camera ports on the atem Mini? Rather than hitting the still button or having to fluff about with changing it in the software as you go? Thanks 🇳🇿
I have a couple old GoPro Hero3+ gathering dust, will these work with the Atem Mini? Can't seem to find any info on the older GoPro's being compatible... Thanks!
My ATEM mini is not being recognized by Camtasia 2020 or OBS. The screen looks blank The webcam and Blackmagic show up as options. The 920E works fine, but eh aTem Mimi is blank. I have called Blackmagic they say call OBS or Camtasia Camera Sony Handycam cx455 Nikon D750. Any suggestions?
Hi Nik. I've got a couple of questions to get started just to double check the basics Firstly have you tried another USB C cable, and can you see the ATEM over USB in the ATEM Setup utility? Are you on Mac or PC? Have you got the latest ATEM software and firmware installed? In OBS if you ccreate a new source > video capture device does the ATEM appear in the device dropdown if it does, the de-select "Use Preset" and set the resolution manually Let me know how that goes
You can save the settings on the software side, but I find that making macros for the settings you want is a better option. As soon as you press the hardware buttons for PIP, the settings will reset.
It is a shame that you can't edit the script to keep the dimensions for picture in picture.

Hi Tim, thanks for this video! I have one question - does this have limitation of maximum size of picture in picture? If I set as 100% size, can I technically do 2×2 half and half multi view streaming?
do you mean the border around the smaller picture? that you can do in the keyer properties in ATEM Software control. If you have a border around you main image, then you might be using a phone or camera that has an overscan problem with it's HDMI signal. this is just what the device puts out into the HDMI output and isn't a feature / function of the ATEM Mini.
Thanks for sharing your expertise, Tim.
Saw multiple reviews stating this device doesn’t have multi view, I guess Picture in Picture was what I was looking for. Thanks for explaining!
Yeah they all do picture in picture. Multiview wasn’t available on the first ATEM Mini, but has been in everything since
Thank you for the video! My online teaching became so much more effective with this little device. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic! Thank you for letting me know
Another greatly helpful video on a specific feature! Thank you 🤝
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful video, even a year later! Thank you Tim
Clear Explanation of the PIP function; thank you!
Thanks, you make some of my favorite ATEM Mini videos.
Thanks so much, Tim - I am very grateful for this clear and thorough explanation
You are very welcome
Thanks for the straightforward overview. Helped me sort out a couple of Items.
Very helpful. I'm picking up my Atem Mini this week. Cheers!

Your demonstration of that picture in picture made be buy one, so thank you!
Fantastic as ever, Tim. Thanks. I've not just set my PIP as I want it and just use key off/on. I've got some tape over the other 4 buttons.
Thanks Tim! Great Work! Answered my question precicely and fast. So with the PiP I CAN do my own newscasting / mimic John Oliver's Corona era style!
Love the "Don't make a bad 80s movie" comment. Thanks from Colorado.
Some useful information in there, Tim. Thanks. The ATEM Mini has really impressed me - so powerful at such a reasonable price point.
Thanks!!! This really helps
Glad to hear it! let me know how it goes!
A great way to add a channel bug, which is a video feed. Oh what fun I can have.
the ATEM also allows for another keyer for a static bug, but if you wanted an animated bug this would definitely work!
Thanks Tim! Super helpful !!

Glad I could be of help! Let me know if there's anything else you're trying to do with the ATEM or if you discover something I can share! :)
You are the man! thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Thanks! I'm looking into getting one of these and you just sold me on it ;-)
They're selling fast too! No supply in NZ at the moment. The whole covid thing has people moving a lot of stuff to livestreaming events.
@@TimSimpson that's why we're looking into one, our church is doing live streaming now

Hey Brian - yes I need to do some updates! I’ll get something together shortly with the current PIP stuff. What model ATEM do you have?
@@TimSimpson I recently got the ATEM Mini, and thanks for considering doing an updated video.
Thanks Tim. That was great!
THXXX
You’re welcome ;)
Great info, thanks! Just one Q. How do you set input 4 to show your computer? or is it plugged as an external device? Thank you
The computer just sees it as another monitor and the ATEM just sees another hdmi stream. Sometimes I set it as an independent monitor and sometimes I mirror to it. Works well both ways :) Let me know how it goes!!
Perfect video! Answered every question I had
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man! That was good stuff and super helpful!
Good Video. Question. I assume there is no way to lock in a larger Pic in Pic size. Not to have it return to the small size? Thanks.
not yet - It would be awesome if the macro the buttons run was editable

Cheers Tim, thanks for your handy videos. Question, can there be more than picture in picture? As in having 2 smaller video feeds on the main shot.
Hey Tim,
gerat video. thx for that. how do i assign for example my screen or the media player to camera 4 for example? couldnt find it out.
thx...
The media player is the still frame button on the ATEM. To switch to a colour you’ll need to use ATEM Software Control or Strata Lite on your phone
@@TimSimpson Thank you! That helped... Bo
Can you apply a chromatic key on the camera background. I’m standing in front of a green screen, so the PIP background is stuck raw or can you key it? Thanks! Great video by the way.
Hey thanks for the video. Is it possible to change the default PIP size?
I want to use this to stream two people, playing each other in a video game. Can it do two PIP’s at the same time?
You just saved my ass on a job site, thanks. Ps, we love the beard :-)
awesome to hear - and grew it myself :) I cut it off once for James Cameron. Then I grew it back
Great video! Thanks
I'm glad it was useful - got some more tricks coming too!
Thank you great content!
Hahaha no. I can't complain. Great video!
Is there an instruction video on how to permanently update the settings for P2P for all 4 buttons on the ATEM
Sadly thats not possible right now. Everyone is asking this though so I'll see if can get an answer from BMD. The buttons just run a macro so it must me possible, and just need to software to allow it.
Pip (from camera 1) should be smart enough to not show itself when you transition back to camera 1. Is there a way to turn that off?
Thx for video. So would the Atem replace the need for say OBS?
Thank you!
Is there a similar switcher that can put 2 or 3 video feeds onscreen as PIP? I want to show multiple videos of my playing my steel guitar. TIA!
We just got the atem mini pro. The other day we actually were able to set it so that anytime we switched from our main camera to our secondary camera, it automatically did a picture in picture with the main shot still showing small in the corner..

Great Question- I’ll make a video showing how that works :)
@@TimSimpson awesome that would be very helpful! Could you comment back when you do so?
Cheers Tim
pleasure ;)
Dude this was great !
I'm looking getting one of these . One question i have is once the pip is resized and the pip image be selected via the Mini control or does it need to be selected from the software ?
You can turn the PiP on and off on the deck, but if you change position with the buttons it resets default parameters. I’d love to be able to update those in firmware!!
Can the small picture and the large picture both simultaneously be video, or must one picture be a still image?
Hey Tim, thanks for your channel man 🙌🏼
Is there anyway you can assign media into unused camera ports on the atem Mini? Rather than hitting the still button or having to fluff about with changing it in the software as you go?
Thanks 🇳🇿
Can we change uniform proportion of PIP to custom size?
I have a couple old GoPro Hero3+ gathering dust, will these work with the Atem Mini? Can't seem to find any info on the older GoPro's being compatible... Thanks!
Yes they do! they have HDMI out so you're all set to go. Let me know how it works!
thank you ! there is a way to rotate the PIP?
Sorry, no, that can't be done on the ATEM mini, however want a vertical slice PIP, you can shoot wide and mask it.
@@TimSimpson thanks for your answer
How to adjust the display of a certain hdmi input or source cam?
Looks like a cool tool... should i buy one and how much (in terms of no of LP's) will it cost me 💿?
The awesome people at Photogear.co.nz have them for NZ$549 - and for the time it saves in making vids, it's worth every cent!
Is there a way to get around the PIP buttons on the switcher from resetting the PIP size?
Is there a way to keep it from resizing back to default when i switch the Picture in picture to a different position from the ATEM. ?
My ATEM mini is not being recognized by Camtasia 2020 or OBS. The screen looks blank
The webcam and Blackmagic show up as options.
The 920E works fine, but eh aTem Mimi is blank.
I have called Blackmagic they say call OBS or Camtasia

Any suggestions?

and I learn sam Auuustreeelieen 😁
Can you not crop it to show just part of the shot in the PiP?
thanks
You’re welcome!

Hi Tim, thanks for this video! I have one question - does this have limitation of maximum size of picture in picture? If I set as 100% size, can I technically do 2×2 half and half multi view streaming?
You can use the ATEM Software control to resize, crop, etc to achieve this

How can i remove the black border in cameravision?
do you mean the border around the smaller picture? that you can do in the keyer properties in ATEM Software control. If you have a border around you main image, then you might be using a phone or camera that has an overscan problem with it's HDMI signal. this is just what the device puts out into the HDMI output and isn't a feature / function of the ATEM Mini.
@@TimSimpson i solve this black border using the app LiveAir Solo...so iphone camera works without the black border
