Loved this explanation. When you showed the stack, and then described the location of the keys in relation to the transition handle I had a "duh" moment! Now I visualize the the stack as a river... the HDMIs are at the source of the river, then the upstream keys come next, then the downstream are at the furthest from the source.
Thank you for this explanation. You really helped to clarify a very confusing aspect of the ATEM for new users who are not familiar with the jargon and concepts of Videography and Streaming. I will have to rewatch a time or two, but great content!
Thank you! I realise it is complex which makes the video a little longer than ideally it should be but then again, under 10 minutes, it is only 0,1% of the time weekly available, isn’t it? :-) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice explanation but EVERY person explaining the keys always forgets to explain the right key source section in which we have chose key source and fill source. and why which in which. The always problem when someone tries to explain something when it is already clear to them :) Or like I tend so say: "Everything is easy and logical from the moment you know it" A great teacher can imagine the moment before he knew it himself and work from there :) Anyways, thank you for the video. It did help me on my road to fully understand keying in the mini extreme
Thank you for your comment. Indeed, it is the outdated terminology which is confusing, especially when one is not familiar with such in the broadcast industry. I suggest to define the difference between key and fill as follows: A key is an image with transparency. Thus partially filling the canvas. A fill has no transparency. Thus covering the whole canvas. Therefore,keys are used often to show graphics, like a logo. But can also be used to show a smaller image of another fill source. Like Picture in Picture (PiP) where the presenter is shrinked shown in a corner while the presentation fills the canvas in the background. I hope this makes sense?
Thank you for this, would you be able to answer something for me please. I understand the flow, what is the technical reason if any, that we don't simple treat the final USK as a DSK? I absolutely understand the separation for transition preview and mix philosophy, but is that all it is? There is ultimately nothing special or different between a USK and a DSK?
The stinger (2:19) indeed is a transition effect which is a combination of the use of the Atem Mini Extreme, the Hyperdeck Studio Mini and the Streamdeck XL. In fact the Streamdeck is programmed to run the stinger file from the Hyperdeck Studio Mini while switching from one input to the other. I hope this does answer your question? If you haven't already, I'd recommend to check out my video about stinger transitions. th-cam.com/video/blTDBUILxak/w-d-xo.html
Hi! Indeed, combined with macros to enable several actions, the Hyperdeck Studio Mini and the StreamDeck XL you can play the stingers as shown in this video.
This is an excellent demonstration of how the confusion about USKs preview on or off can be avoided.
A very helpful video. Thank you. Now I understand upstream and downstresm keys!
Very helpful for a newby person. Thanks!
This is a great simple explanation of how to use the ATEM control software for the keys. Thanks.
Your review of how to use the ATEM Mini Extreme is excellent, we need more videos that explain how to use this device and its Tools correctly.

That is a good comparison too, Shawn! I’m glad the video did clarify it for you.
Happy streaming!

really good job.. your explanation is great
Really great explanation - please keep them coming...
Thank you! And sure I will.
I would like you to make a turorial on Macros
Thank you for reaching out, Jan. It is on my list, coming up soon!
@Jan: Part 1 about macros has been published!
The stinger that You have un this video, Atem Mini Extreme offers that?
