5 Shift select ‘color 1’ on the preview bus. 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.
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 2:00 seconds.
8 Press the ‘auto’ button in transition control to perform the wipe transition from
color bars to color 1.
9 Press the ‘macro’ button to return to the macro screen.
10 To set the macro to wait for 2 seconds before applying the next transition, press the
‘add pause’ soft button in the LCD menu and set the duration to 2 seconds by rotating
the ‘seconds’ knob. Press the ‘confirm’ soft button to record the pause.
11 Now shift select ‘black’ on the preview bus, press the ‘mix’ button in transition
control and press the ‘auto’ transition button. Your ATEM switcher will perform a mix
transition to black.
12 Press the Macro button to navigate back to the Macro menu, then press the ‘stop’
soft button to stop recording.
You have just recorded a macro using an ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel. The macro will appear
as a macro button named ‘Macro 6’ because it is located in macro slot 6. 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 6 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 2 second mix transition, pause for 2 seconds, then perform another 2 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.
It’s worth frequently testing your macros using different switcher settings to make sure the
macro performs all the specific functions you intended and doesn’t miss any instructions or
produce something unexpected.
