User Manual

ATEM Software Control displays a red border to indicate when you are recording a macro. The ‘add pause’
button located at the top of the red border lets you enter durations for pauses between switcher actions.
Enter a name for your macro and a description so you can keep track
of the switcher actions recorded in the macro.
Building Large Macros
Macros can even include triggering other macros as part of recording a macro. This lets you
easily build larger macros from multiple smaller macros, i.e., recording macros with limited
actions, then compiling them into a large macro. This is because if there are any mistakes while
recording a large macro in one complete sequence, you’ll need to go back to the start of your
sequence and rerecord it. It’s a lot easier to work with segments containing a small number
of actions.
By recording a large macro using small macros, you can also edit your large macro by
rerecording only the small macros you want to change, then compiling your small macros back
into your large macro.
