To all you small creaters out there, just the fact that you are here means you are trying to improve and you are in the process. Just don't give up, you will make it too :D
There are, in fact, five models available, two of which have eight inputs and also a headphone out which is very useful. I‘ve been using a Mini Pro for almost a year now, and the Extreme ISO since it‘s been available. Editing for me is basically down to cutting things out which is really fast, in particular when using DaVinci Resolve‘s cut page together with the speed editor. The setup is also great for live streaming.
Great! Yea most people won't need 8 inputs and this video could be an hour long going into all the features and capabilities! Thanks for sharing how you use it!
@@ThinkMediaTV Yup, you are certainly right there. I just wanted to add the hint. Additional inputs may in fact be very useful once you also start connecting one or more computers - for lower thirds, e.g.
@@ThinkMediaTV It's not so much having 8 inputs as it is having more than 4. Dual USB jacks and dual HDMI jacks, as well as the super source feature, make the Extreme and Extreme ISO worth getting over the smaller Mini devices. Super source alone makes for far more compelling videos.
I’ve been debating buying one forever. Thank God you guys covered it. You just have a way of explaining things to normal people without all of the techie talk. Thank you.
I taught online all through lockdown and I actually bought the Atem mini before lockdown for the exact purpose you described. I also record videos for a TH-cam channel for my Biology lessons and it works brilliantly for avoiding the need for editing and speeds up my ability to shoot and upload immediately. A great gadget and I can attest to the fact that it works for the intended purpose described by you.
The possibility to edit files while you stream is a powerful usecase. This is my solution for all my MS Teams Videoconferences and Trainings. As you put it rightly: you can start to use it just as a switcher and all the way up to using lower thirds graghics, picture in picture, greenscreen effekts. You can even automate it all using the powerful macro features. It comes from a powerful family of bigger blackmagic switchers and has inhereted all the good genes. I am looking forward to upgrade next week to the atem mini extreme iso (which is not so mini any more)
thank you , i went to the meta office today and the engineers doing all the pretty stuff for the event like the led lights and sound recommended this product , now im here 💗

OMG. I need this so bad. I'm using the cam link now thanks to you guys and I love it, but this would bring my stream to another level with multiple camera angles. 👍👍🤟🤟💙 thanks for the explanation of all the different versions of this product💙🤟🤟💙💙 Mikey
Problem is it only uses HDMI inputs, which takes out all webcams or PZT bots which use USB. Currently, there is no HDMI/usb adapter. So while price is unusually good, practical is for the higher end content creator. 4 cameras is easily 6k to 15k. Multicam capture seems like the only option for multiple webcams
That is exactly why I bought the ATEM Mini Pro ISO (to reduce editing & speed up workflow). I do have two questions: 1 - Since the ATEMs don't allow for anything other than still images, is there a way to still incorporate video intro's, stingers, animated lower thirds and transitions and such into the workflow? (like integrating OBS, or a media player?) 2 - How can I crop an image (as can be done in OBS)? Can you please suggest low budget (but simple!!) solutions to these issues?
If I was gonna buy it and if money wasn't a problem I would go for the third version ISO bljust so you have some control while editing so you can fix your mistakes
For my home setup, I could probably not see myself using this, since I run most of my stuff through my Streamdeck already, but for my church's streaming setup... this would be game changing.
Man I want to learn how to level up my livestreams and make them cool and fancy like tou guys. Guess I gotta watch every think media vid on livestream #VRAFAM
Is the video quality far better than let’s say different scenes using different cameras in OBS? The cost of multiple video capture cards does make a strong case for this product. I’m seriously considering. Thank you!
That's not possibe. All Atem Minis can only record in 1080p. If you need 4k, you has to use an BM Web Presenter 4 K (it is the cheapest 4 K Presenter). But this is not a switcher. If you need something like the Atem Mini Video Schwitcher, you need to by the production line or Broadcast Studio in Combination. But this devices ar more professional and expensive.
Awesome video! I have an ATEM Mini Pro and a MacBook. How do I record a live feed with the USB out AND control a connection to streaming? Right now my USB out is being used to connect to my computer.
This product has been on my "I need this eventually" list since I started. Need another quality camera or 2 first to really utilize it 😧. Some day, It will be mine!
Thank you very much such a wonderful video, but there is no 4K feature in this, surprisingly! Is there is any solution to have the final products 4k???

I just watched this video again- love the simplicity and clear takes! Thanks again. Do you have one for doing Zoom, Skype, etc. using it (for example to interview podcast guests remotely & also grab video)? Regards!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! It’s the ATEM Mini Pro ISO for me. When filming a video podcast (not live) do you need software to record the footage on a hard drive? Can you use a laptop as the monitor?
Thanks Jaxx! 1 You don't need software to record footage, just the SSD (the software will allow you to name the folder and such, but you dont "need" it) 2 Yes you can if you plug in the ethernet cable and get the Atem Control Software
I have Atem mini Pro but I had some difficulties with the USB C output which, when connected to the control software at the same time, sent the videos out of sync making the ATEM unusable. I solved it by putting a second network on the laptop to control the atem separately. However excellent hardware I have already done several streaming using VMix at the same time
That is really handy, especially when it comes to composing different shots for a video. Nice job, I’ll most likely use this for future videos on my channel.
Sorry to ask an unrelated question, may I ask the BlackMagic official website describes the ATEM Mini Pro specifications indicate that it supports color space conversion, how should it be set up so that many devices that can shoot HLG video can be converted to display HLG in the 709 color space through the ATEM Mini Pro, which is a very useful feature, and I hope it can be used to give the subsequent program, thanks!
With my Canon R5, I just hook up the HDMI from the camera into the ATEM Mini (basic version / $295). Then USB out from the ATEM into my MacBook, and it’s automatically seen as a webcam for Zoom, TH-cam live etc. As long as the camera has HDMI out … it just works. Super easy.
What’s is the best one to get for just recording 3 angles and being able to switch in between cameras? I like to record than edit before posting. So what version would I need?
Is there a link for the case you are using in the video? - I have the atem mini pro - and plan to use it for streaming live games - that case looks handy.
@@OmarEltakrori Would love to see the Think Media version of a case build... but that may be just me - I'm geeky like that...also were you able to do it without a 3D printer?
Superb review/comparison Omar! (Thanks!) ⭐ *Question* : does the *Atem Mini Pro ISO* allow streaming _and_ recording the ISO to external SSD _simultaneously_ ...? ❓ Or do you have to use the USB-C output for streaming and thus cannot record to external at the same time? 🤷♂️
@@RyanWeeden sadly, no we haven't found an answer. There was someone selling a USB C hub that could handle the video signal but it was $300+ which put us off. It's almost inevitable that BlackMagic will release a Atem Mini Pro ISO *PLUS* with two USB C ports at some point to address this issue.
Great review. I do have a need to address the audio functions. Only 2 mics in? If so, and I need to have 4 mic controlled, do they have a product that gives you that option? Does it have the ability to control onboard camera audio, ie cameras equipped with an external mic, on the fly?
I think the Black Magic ATEM (ISO) is tailored to what I will be doing in the future. $795. is not that big a cost considered -compared to cost of my Cameras . I like that each cam has its own file with a separate Show file .
I’m thinking about plugging in m50 and m50 mark ll with atom mini for a video podcast. Everyone says m50 doesn’t give clean hdmi. I see you are using m50 with it. Is aton mini recommended or not with the canon m50 setup?
It's really made for live streaming. If you are really good or you don't care about the quality of your video, then it would be possible to do it all in one take. If not then go for the iso as you will want to move cuts and retake others and will need to do a final edit. It's not that expensive if you consider that it allows 4 HDMI inputs and 2 mics and puts it into a recorded file for a final edit, along with a divinci project
How do I know which codec/frame rate/pixel I’m recording to. Does it default to my cameras settings? What size and quality gets recorded to the external drive while you’re live switching
i need something like this but not for camera angles,I need to be able to push a button and pull up text or commercial or video during a live stream from files i have on hand. What would i need
QUESTION, PLEASE. If I was conducting an interview of three people?, one d itting infrastructure of me an c two remotely, which atem allows me to stream all of us at the same time?? Thank you

If I was gonna buy it and if money wasn't a problem I would go for the third version ISO bljust so you have some control while editing so you can fix your mistakes
I could see this being really handy, especially being able to overlay a screen from an iPad in between a camera angle or two
We just got the ATEM Mini for Livestream camera switching. Getting ready to set it up and make my camera switching much nicer.
Been thinking of getting something like this for a while! Thanks Omar!!
That’s amazing! I just don’t see my channel using it often
For my home setup, I could probably not see myself using this, since I run most of my stuff through my Streamdeck already, but for my church's streaming setup... this would be game changing.
By far the single thing that has sped up both my filming and editing the most was the purchase of a teleprompter.

As someone who has used an Atem Mini Pro since launch, its a fantastic tool for live streaming. I wish it supported 4k.
what does it support if not 4k?
@@electronicfellows2113 It only supports 1080p. That is its main drawback. Why I eventually sold mine.
YES! ???HOW DOES WORK WITHSTREAM YARD???
I'm stoked getting one immediately thanks 💯🙏🤘
Love it. Want to see your video on how to use it too
Is the video quality far better than let’s say different scenes using different cameras in OBS? The cost of multiple video capture cards does make a strong case for this product. I’m seriously considering. Thank you!
It captures/outputs in 1080p -- because you can control bitrate in OBS you will get great quality out of it
Definitely useful information . Just about to start trying live-streaming , so once I can get another camera , this would also be fantastic
5:07 so it does multi camera angles for podcasting and it is also usable for live streaming
how does your video quality have a 4k option when the black mini device only allows you to record in 1080p?

Yep and with severe adhd it's really slows me down
Always wondered how that happens on videos. Thanks!
Looks like a great tool. I’d have fun with it but can’t use it right now.
They make Atem Mini Extreme, with 8 hdmi outputs.
I use mine for my daily show on this channel. Works great 🤙🏻
Thank you very much such a wonderful video, but there is no 4K feature in this, surprisingly! Is there is any solution to have the final products 4k???
What do you recommend for something like a panel discussion but with the need for 4-5 mics to be plugged in as well? Great video.
Would you recommend this product for someone teaching instructional fitness videos online to make editing easier? If so which one would you recommend?
Definitely would help if you had a wide shot and a tighter shot you’ll probably be good with the Pro version
