Great tutorial. Thank you Just a note on the ATEM Mini Pro & Photoshop CC2020: If one saves the files - PNG or TGA - with transparency, one has to disable the 'Pre Multiplied Key' option in the Downstream Key. Otherwise the transparency does not work correctly. The sample PNG files work OK. Direct export from PS to the ATEM works OK too. I did struggle to save a useable file from PS until I tried unchecking the said button on the ATEM mgmt s/w. Again - thanks for the tutorial and the reviews.
I was racking my brains because it wasn’t working, and then I realized I had to turn off the invert option. For whatever reason it was activated and as soon as I turned it off, everything went smooth. Great tutorial as always.
University of TH-cam. Thanks bro, your videos have helped me sort my way through the setup for our livestream of our shows. You're an invaluable resource! BMD should hire you!
Awesome tutorial. All I'm after is one transparent lower third that I can keep stored on the ATEM between powering on and off and call at will with a hardware button. Like you say, hopefully this will come with an update!
Got this working via the upstream key option before I found your video. Guess I need to do some reading on the difference between the upstream and downstream keyer options in the ATEM mini.
Another great tutorial! I saw someone using one of these ATEMs a few days ago, and they were asking their viewers for questions, then showing the viewer’s TH-cam thumbnail along with the question in real time. My mind was blown. I’m assuming they were using H2R Graphics, but I’d be interested in your thoughts Aaron. It was Curtis Judd’s live stream for two days ago.
That's a great idea! It looks like he didn't archive the live stream so I can't go watch his. I'm sure there are a number of ways to accomplish this though, check out my most recent "Studio Tour" video for another way to show stuff from a computer on the stream! th-cam.com/video/F7sHD1w0qxM/w-d-xo.html
Could also be utilizing a program called “Streamyard” which has the feature of showing the username, picture, and question built into it. Hard to explain, but what I can say is that this service is a perfect combo with the ATEM Mini.
Thanks for your help today, I have now tried H2r Graphichs with my Atem mini and OBS i works fine - Thx Per Rasmussen Bornholm / Denmark - look forward to your next session
Your videos are amazing! I’m hoping black magic have let us have programmable buttons… I’ve been using Ecamm for a while now and bought an atem mini pro iso thinking I could record and stream to ecamm. Unfortunately I found out after that’s not how it works. The atem feels like a step back 😥
Thank you! Yeah I think it was really unfortunate that they have only one USB port on the original ATEM Minis, at least with the Extreme there are two so you can record and use it as a webcam at the same time! I just wish they had done that on the smaller ones too
I had the exact same issue getting the software control app (2:40). There was very little guidance from BM. Actually none what so ever. I found it very frustrating and disappointing. Even their PDF manual failed to give any guidance in this. It is a great switcher. But come on BM... your website and setup instructions are just horrible! Thanks so much for this video. Your channel is AWESOME!
Running a show tomorrow with live projector feed in house with song texts, live stream and singer song text presenter on the stage simultaneously tomorrow, as well as multiple live interactive Slido Polls. Didn't work with the ATEM for roughly a year, so it was the perfect video to catch up!
So You do not like OBS for graphics because You need a computer. But both other offered methods also need a computer. I think the OBS offers the best solution since you can use that for other things to. But it was great to see that there are other solutions too.
The main difference is that if the computer that does the graphics dies mid-show, you only loose the graphics and can reboot the computer. When (not if) OBS or the computer running OBS crashes, the stream is dead and show is over until you can restart and get back on air with a lot of fiddling around. Also, it's a lot harder for a computer to encode video and run OBS real time and push it to the internet than it is to run a simple lightweight graphics software like H2R Graphics and maybe even something like Companion to control your Streamdeck. You could probably run H2R Graphics on a really small cheap computer, maybe even Raspberry Pi (think there is a Linux version of H2R Graphics now). Running OBS as encoder really needs a fairly powerful computer. It's almost always better to let dedicated hardware/firmware handle things that they can handle and use computers for the other, less demanding things, in mission-critical applications.
OK. I understand all the benefits of doing this direct from the switcher. But the atem software crashes, as does photoshop, when I try to connect them. So much easier to just do this in Wirecast or OBS. I am finding way too many bugs in the ATEM. Having said that... your videos ROCK. So much better than anything blackmagic is offering. For me, you are the ATEM goto guide. And the blackmagic control has one of the worst UX designs I have ever experienced. Obviously made by developers who have no UX experience. So hard to use. Thank you for making it easier.
Hey Aaron....thanks for a great video and demonstration. I am really struggling to show song lyrics overlaying the live feed using a separate laptop with HDMI out to the Atem Mini Pro. Would really appreciate your help giving me a step by step guide how to do it. Thanking you in advance.
I need the contact information for the company who manufactured your 3d ATEM switcher. A few of the screws and nuts fell off. I need to get replacement screws & nuts so I can use the Atem stand
If i use Green screnn and Chromakey in my Upstream Key. Can I then not add a lower thirds either through Media Player as a static image or HDMI with H2R graphics with just a white/black luma channel ?
Aaron Love your videos. Is there a way to create a macro that tells ATEM MINI what graphic to use from the Media pool by number or name. For example to change Camera inputs and Chroma Key backgrounds. I would love to see a Macro Video on this can not find anything on TH-cam. Thanks.
Hello. I need some help. My graphic designer has built lower thirds for me using my custom logo. The files are PNG. When I add the files to the media pool they have a white background instead of being transparent. What are we missing?
Is there a a way via an API to load the media pool? I'm trying to create a "scene" metalanguage that will create companion buttons that will do everything I need for a scene ( flip between images (media pool) videos (playoutbee) using different super source layouts (Mix Effect), etc. I want to write everything in the metalanguage and automate as much of everything else as possible. I think the only way to create buttons is to edit the exported companion config file, add buttons and manually read it back in. Handling stills is a sticking point.
Hello and thanks for this great info. I'm a newby on this live streaming thing. I just got lost in option 3. You mean you connect the same laptop you're using to control the Atem and stream back to the Atem via HDMI?
Aaron, since you own both the Atem Mini and the Pro, I am curious if you considered daisy chaining them together to form an 8 channel switcher? More specifically, now you have two chroma keyers??
Rick Allen Ive definitely thought about that, but haven't actually put it to the test yet. I think I'd be most likely to use one as a dedicated keyer, and the other for switching, or use one to just stream and add a corner bug or something. If I'm going to actually have 6 or more cameras I'd probably use the TVS at that point.
I have a really stupid question but I can't figure it out. How do I scale the window of the software control to be smaller? There is no option for me to drag the window to scale it smaller. I can drag the sides out to be larger, but that's it. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.
It does seem there's a minimum size of the software control app and you can't resize it any smaller. I guess cause they didn't want to have to deal with resizing the buttons in the interface
I'm having issues getting my graphics to display properly. Photoshop is intermittent about talking to my swticher, and when I try and bring in regular transparent png files I get a "whited out" video. Could you help please?
I had same issue... In Palettes/downstream key, uncheck "pre Multiplied Key"... there are a couple of sliders, you can play with this and see impact. My problem is that my Lower third doesn't show as completely as opaque as he had...
I email BMD suggestions via the support system and they say they are happy for feedback and consider it while making changes. If many people ask for similar things, it might get prioritized.
The ATEM Mini should take any camera that can output 720 or 1080. That should cover most cameras unless you're talking about suuuuper old cameras that might only do 480. Check the specs of the camera to see if that's the problem
Thank you, Aaron. Great info. Now if I could just find one of these devices to purchase!! %$#!@ I’m champing at the bit to get one, but guess I’m late to the party as I just learned about the ATEM Mini two days ago and they’re sold out everywhere, presumably because of this damn virus!
Aaron Parecki, thanks for suggestion. I did place an order with Adorama just to get in their queue. Can imagine, though, that production halted in China due to the virus. Not sure if Chinese factories reopened yet. I’m converting a F2F drawing/painting class to online using Zoom and want a camera on me and one on my workspace for demos. I can do two logins and that works but one login with the ATEM Mini would be way cooler!
My Mini comes on Monday!! They’re in! Now I need to rewatch all your videos. Reason I bought this was to use it to do online classes with Zoom.. I want to connect an iPad or iPhone on me, a Panasonic GX85 camera on my workspace, and ability to switch to Keynote slides on my MBP. I also have an iPhone XS and an iPhone 6S+ available. Any suggestions?
Hi. How do i add text using lower thirds real-time while I switch across 2 camera feeds? Assuming I can bring in a feed from another computer where the text are selected or set
When you are overlaying graphics from one of the inputs using the upstream or downstream keyer, it will stay on when you change camera angles. If you're switching using the buttons on the ATEM you'll need to go into the setup app and choose "stay on with transition"
@@aaronpk thanks for the feedback. For example for a church feed, I'll like to set Bible verses or song verses as lower thirds in real time as they are being mentioned using a software like pro presenter which is on another system. How do I achieve this with atem mini pro? Thanks
Definitely check out @AJayTheCEO's channel too cause he talks more specifically about workflows for church. But generally you'd want to bring that computer in as one of the HDMI inputs, then you can overlay it using the downstream keyer. You'll need to use the Software Control app in order to set this up.
Hi Aaron, wondering if the ATEM Mini could be used for simple travel video production instead of Live streaming. Appreciate your advise, please. Thanks!
I need to be able to just use the min pro ISO as a logo switcher. We do sometimes get Powerpoint video from clients as well. The HDMI ouput will be going directly down to our video matrix via a cat 6 balun, then to the tvs. Your comment about till images only worries me. Or did I understand that wrong. Ive never used a mini or anything like it, Im brand new to this. Any advice is welcome. thank you. Also, our venue is in nashville on broadway.
This is definitely the most informative video on using graphics with the atem mini. Can you explain further how to use the downstream keyer? I would love to get more training on the topic. Thanks so much for your help!
Hi, I got couple of questions to ask; 1. how can i lock the overlays? do i really need to press "key on" everytime I switch cameras? 2. I'm using windows, It seems like there's no full screen view for H2R. Its stills shows the title bar. Thanks and more power!
Hi Aaron and thank you for all the information I found here 🙏 You are fantastic! I am wondering if there is some simple way how to switch between two RTMP sources. I would love show 60 minutes countdown but still, be able to prepare my ATEM Mini Pro setup for the streaming session during these 60 minutes. So something dedicated just for the countdown. I tried to stream from two devices with the same RTMP TH-cam key, but TH-cam gives me an error saying something like "there are multiple sources".. Thank you for your time ❤
60 minutes is quite a long countdown, I would suggest maybe limiting the countdown timer to 10 minutes tops, which would give you 50 minutes to prepare ahead of time. If you really want to keep things the way you've got it set up and don't want to add new hardware, you could stream the countdown timer to TH-cam's backup URL. When you're ready to go live, you'd stream with the ATEM to the primary URL, youtube won't switch over automatically, but if you stop streaming the countdown timer then TH-cam will switch over to the primary stream.
Great video Aaron. Applies equally well to the ATEM Studio HD switcher. You are right - BM Design has practically no training, although their support is good. Thanks!
There are no videos on youtube telling you how to create and implement lower thirds in OBS. All I've seen are videos selling their own add-on software. OBS has been no help.
I don't want to use the media player or software for lowerthirds. I want to use an input. Can I just change the DSK fill and key sources to an input instead?
Thanks for the video Aaron. I'm looking ATEM Mini Pro mostly as a Chroma keyer (to key live taking head video shot on green against various video backgrounds) as as a web-cam for video conferences. Right now I'm doing it all in software on the laptop I use for video conferencing (ManyCam software on Mac w/ a AJA U-Tap to HDMI->USB). I'd love to get the Chromakey work off the computer. Since I want the backgrounds to be animated, it seems like an HDMI input is the only way to go. I'm wondering if you considered a HyperDeck Studio Mini as the HDMI source for the background graphics? I realize this is probably overkill.
That'd definitely work! I've been using the hyperdeck studio mini a bit lately to play prerecorded conference talks thru my computer as a webcam. There's a really cool feature with the integration which is the ATEM mini can control the hyperdeck so you can have it start playing when the ATEM switches to the input the hyperdeck is on. The hyperdeck can also be scripted with macros so you can load different media with physical buttons on your desk!
Am I able to overlay a corporate logo as a static and then lower 3rds or PIP as well? Could I do this by upstreaming the logo and downstreaming the lower 3rd?
@@samschofield8367 You could use one of the HDMI inputs to play media off a different device. But you're still limited to one downstream and one upstream source. Beyond that you'd have to look at different hardware, either the TV Studio which has more media players and sources, or get a second Mini and chain them together.
@@samschofield8367 I do see the option to use "Camera 1" as the fill source of the upstream DVE, and "Media Player 1" as the fill source of the downstream key. So if you brought in one of the graphics via HDMI you can do it.
Thanks for all your amazing videos Aaron! I've learned a ton watching them. I know there's probably not much I can do about this, but one thing I *wanted* to do is be able to share my ipad screen during Zoom meetings. I have my camera and the iPad as the two HDMI sources. I realized though, when I switch over to the iPad, it's obviously not the same as sharing the screen. I guess the only option is for me to join the Zoom meeting on the iPad... Was hoping for some magic tho!
Thanks! I don't know why so many people are confused by that! I've never heard it spelled out before, and "ping" is even the official pronunciation! www.libpng.org/pub/png/#history
So many things did not match between the video and my photoshop and Atem software control, but I got it to almost work... I see that your lower third has full opacity, but when i turn on the one I created, even if it is at full opacity in Photoshop, it only gets to a max of about 90% opacity in Atem... Between 2 frustrating programs like PS and Atem control, my level of frustration is through the roof...
Yes, the webcam output will include all the graphics you've created in the ATEM Mini, the same thing that would be streaming will show up in Zoom. However, Zoom will heavily compress and shrink the picture so you're best off using it only for super large text like full screen countdowns, not for graphics that have small text or details.
Hi Aaron! I'd like to stream my iMac 5K resolution screen in Zoom. Unfortunately I don't have high bandwidth internet my upload speed is 10 Mbit/s on average but it is not enough. Would the ATEM Mini Pro be able to convert the 5K resolution to FHD and stream it that way? Thank you
Great tutorial. Thank you
Just a note on the ATEM Mini Pro & Photoshop CC2020: If one saves the files - PNG or TGA - with transparency, one has to disable the 'Pre Multiplied Key' option in the Downstream Key. Otherwise the transparency does not work correctly. The sample PNG files work OK. Direct export from PS to the ATEM works OK too. I did struggle to save a useable file from PS until I tried unchecking the said button on the ATEM mgmt s/w.
Again - thanks for the tutorial and the reviews.
You're a genius. Lol I was just getting annoyed at why my .png with transparency had an ugly background to it. Thanks!!
Wow! THANK YOU! Oh my god, I was going crazy over this, haha.
Thank you!

Thank you SO much. I was so frustrated! This really should be pinned to the top.
I was racking my brains because it wasn’t working, and then I realized I had to turn off the invert option. For whatever reason it was activated and as soon as I turned it off, everything went smooth. Great tutorial as always.

One thing to add: you could use a HDMI splitter to send the signal to a pc with a capture card AND to decoder. to have a dual system

But generally you'd want to bring that computer in as one of the HDMI inputs, then you can overlay it using the downstream keyer. You'll need to use the Software Control app in order to set this up.
@@aaronpk thanks. You are the best
Hi Aaron, wondering if the ATEM Mini could be used for simple travel video production instead of Live streaming. Appreciate your advise, please. Thanks!
I need to be able to just use the min pro ISO as a logo switcher. We do sometimes get Powerpoint video from clients as well. The HDMI ouput will be going directly down to our video matrix via a cat 6 balun, then to the tvs. Your comment about till images only worries me. Or did I understand that wrong. Ive never used a mini or anything like it, Im brand new to this. Any advice is welcome. thank you. Also, our venue is in nashville on broadway.
CAN you have a video playing in full screen on a second monitor and key green screen to be in front of that video playing as opposed to a still
Aaron your channel deserves far more love. Your videos are amazing and have helped me out a ton!
This is definitely the most informative video on using graphics with the atem mini. Can you explain further how to use the downstream keyer? I would love to get more training on the topic. Thanks so much for your help!
Hi, I got couple of questions to ask;
1. how can i lock the overlays? do i really need to press "key on" everytime I switch cameras?
2. I'm using windows, It seems like there's no full screen view for H2R. Its stills shows the title bar.
Thanks and more power!
Wow!!! You are so awesome, thank you so much. I absolutely loved the video and ALL of the amazing information. Thank you, Thank you so much.
Blackmagic update available today that "Adds adjustable audio delay on the analog inputs on ATEM Mini models."
Hi Aaron and thank you for all the information I found here 🙏 You are fantastic! I am wondering if there is some simple way how to switch between two RTMP sources. I would love show 60 minutes countdown but still, be able to prepare my ATEM Mini Pro setup for the streaming session during these 60 minutes. So something dedicated just for the countdown. I tried to stream from two devices with the same RTMP TH-cam key, but TH-cam gives me an error saying something like "there are multiple sources".. Thank you for your time ❤
60 minutes is quite a long countdown, I would suggest maybe limiting the countdown timer to 10 minutes tops, which would give you 50 minutes to prepare ahead of time.
If you really want to keep things the way you've got it set up and don't want to add new hardware, you could stream the countdown timer to TH-cam's backup URL. When you're ready to go live, you'd stream with the ATEM to the primary URL, youtube won't switch over automatically, but if you stop streaming the countdown timer then TH-cam will switch over to the primary stream.
@@aaronpk woohou, didnt know that. Thank you again!!! :)
Lifesaver! You have no idea how many you tube videos I had looked at who only talked about using OBS for this.
Was suprized you mentioned the stream deck, we just programed iurs this last weekend.
Thank you very much for you video. Please help to make clear how to use H2R with Zoom meeting. I use Atem mini and Mac Pro. Thank you.
ok, time to sit and learn how to use Macros
Great video Aaron. Applies equally well to the ATEM Studio HD switcher. You are right - BM Design has practically no training, although their support is good. Thanks!
There are no videos on youtube telling you how to create and implement lower thirds in OBS. All I've seen are videos selling their own add-on software. OBS has been no help.
Great tutorial and recommendations Aaron.
I don't want to use the media player or software for lowerthirds. I want to use an input. Can I just change the DSK fill and key sources to an input instead?
Great info. What dedicated streaming device do you use?
Thanks for the video Aaron. I'm looking ATEM Mini Pro mostly as a Chroma keyer (to key live taking head video shot on green against various video backgrounds) as as a web-cam for video conferences. Right now I'm doing it all in software on the laptop I use for video conferencing (ManyCam software on Mac w/ a AJA U-Tap to HDMI->USB). I'd love to get the Chromakey work off the computer.
Since I want the backgrounds to be animated, it seems like an HDMI input is the only way to go. I'm wondering if you considered a HyperDeck Studio Mini as the HDMI source for the background graphics? I realize this is probably overkill.
That'd definitely work! I've been using the hyperdeck studio mini a bit lately to play prerecorded conference talks thru my computer as a webcam. There's a really cool feature with the integration which is the ATEM mini can control the hyperdeck so you can have it start playing when the ATEM switches to the input the hyperdeck is on. The hyperdeck can also be scripted with macros so you can load different media with physical buttons on your desk!
Love the video. It feels kinda odd how u constantly stare at the camera, usually people looks away a bit
Am I able to overlay a corporate logo as a static and then lower 3rds or PIP as well?
Could I do this by upstreaming the logo and downstreaming the lower 3rd?
Yeah that should work! As long as you don't also need to greenscreen or show picture in picture.
Is there a way to add a second media player?
@@samschofield8367 You could use one of the HDMI inputs to play media off a different device. But you're still limited to one downstream and one upstream source. Beyond that you'd have to look at different hardware, either the TV Studio which has more media players and sources, or get a second Mini and chain them together.
Aaron Parecki but I can’t use different sources for the downstream and upstream.
@@samschofield8367 I do see the option to use "Camera 1" as the fill source of the upstream DVE, and "Media Player 1" as the fill source of the downstream key. So if you brought in one of the graphics via HDMI you can do it.
Fantastic tutorial - thank you!
Thanks for all your amazing videos Aaron! I've learned a ton watching them.
I know there's probably not much I can do about this, but one thing I *wanted* to do is be able to share my ipad screen during Zoom meetings. I have my camera and the iPad as the two HDMI sources. I realized though, when I switch over to the iPad, it's obviously not the same as sharing the screen. I guess the only option is for me to join the Zoom meeting on the iPad... Was hoping for some magic tho!
Really helpful video. Your channel deserves more subs given the value you’re providing. Thanks.
Very informative video! Big help Aaron.
Aaron... can you use the ATM Mini to play pre-corded videos such as show opens and soundbites during a live podcast?
You would need the Atem Mini Pro in case you have not found the answer yet pal.
But if you have to depend on a computer to do that, we come to the same initial problem, that having a computer and running OBS, no ?
What happens if the computer crashes in this case? You lose the graphics, but the stream stays up.
You can actually use image sequences (max. length, fixed frame rate) in the ATEM software, which is basically a limited length movie.
Only the higher end ATEM models support that
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Only 1 thing…. I was confused as hell when u kept saying PING! We say P N G File. 🤦🏾
Thanks! I don't know why so many people are confused by that! I've never heard it spelled out before, and "ping" is even the official pronunciation! www.libpng.org/pub/png/#history
Hi
i am a big fan of your videos. please do you offer trainings
So many things did not match between the video and my photoshop and Atem software control, but I got it to almost work... I see that your lower third has full opacity, but when i turn on the one I created, even if it is at full opacity in Photoshop, it only gets to a max of about 90% opacity in Atem... Between 2 frustrating programs like PS and Atem control, my level of frustration is through the roof...
Greetings_ I wonder if it is possible to insert the graphics during for example a zoom meeting (not streaming.) Cheers! :)
Yes, the webcam output will include all the graphics you've created in the ATEM Mini, the same thing that would be streaming will show up in Zoom. However, Zoom will heavily compress and shrink the picture so you're best off using it only for super large text like full screen countdowns, not for graphics that have small text or details.
where I download this plugin?
Thanks for the ATEM mini videos. Mine is coming next week.
Awesome! You're going to enjoy it!
Great video thank you very much
Hi Aaron! I'd like to stream my iMac 5K resolution screen in Zoom. Unfortunately I don't have high bandwidth internet my upload speed is 10 Mbit/s on average but it is not enough. Would the ATEM Mini Pro be able to convert the 5K resolution to FHD and stream it that way? Thank you
this works standalone right?
A+
