Really hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful! I you have any questions, just let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Also if you have any tips you want to share with everyone else... put them below ⬇️
You have definitely struck up my interest to get the new hyper deck & the speed grade unit. I also have the stream deck & haven’t been using my ATEM mini pro iso video switcher. I had to get a new laptop to run all this. Plus get another Sony body to match up my color profiles when switching. I unfortunately work by myself. So carrying out a laptop, etc to use the ATEM is a bit much. Yet with the new hyper deck. It definitely gives a vid& editor more flexibility. Again I would love to see more work flow tutorials from you using all this. Especially using the note feature using the stream deck.
This semester one of my project is "poor person's SMPTE timecode". Audio SMPTE timecode is simply a non-recurring sequence of binary data. I plan to record an hour or two of timecode on an mp3 player and then use either cables or wireless comms to distribute this to all of my cameras and audio recorder. I will also probably use the other track to distribute a guide audio track as well. As I understand it, Resolve has a feature to convert audio SMPTE into linear SMPTE embedded in the video clip itself. It will be interesting to see if this works.
Nice work mate! What I do for the timecode notes is cut to bars/black on the atem which show up in the resolve project so you can scrub through and see them instantly, but as you say it’s hard if you make multiple projects.. but handy way to get “markers”
Alex, I would love to see a episode on how you create audio presets. Also have you covered your Google sheets/Stream deck setup. That would come in so handy. Thanks for all the great work you do.
Wow! Its exactly what I did during my shift from in person to online teaching. I started online teaching pre pandemic with 2 Sonys 6300s which worked good together with an Atem Mini. Then pandemic happened and I had to shift to 100% online. First problem: A full day of teaching ( between 7-9 hours straight) causes that at the end the cams overheated and shut down, which became a nightmare. So I bought one Pocket 4k - problem solved. Then they launched The atem mini pro and I thought: Would be a good feature for my content production to record on separate tracks and stuff. I waited and then finally bought an Extreme Pro. What a damn time saver! Would you pleeeeeeeeease do a tutorial on how you do the "Good Take" "Bad Take" Timecode thing with the stream deck? That actually would save me - and I guess a lot of other people - a ton of time! Thanks for your useful tips!
Great minds think alike 😉 Really cool to hear how you're using you setup! I had the same issues with Sony's overheating in the past.... it's one of the reasons I love the Blackmagic cams so much! I pretty much run the 24/7 without any issues at all! And yep, since uploading this video, it's been the biggest request to do a tutorial on how I implement Streamdeck with Timecode, so I've added that to my video list and hopefully it will be out soon 👍👍
Danvinci is probably great especially combined with the iso recordings BUT what nobody tells is that Davinci really needs a beast of a computer (cpu, ram and gpu) to work properly. I use a much much more forgiving program called Power Director. So the Davinci file in the iso recordings by the Atem is useless BUT the good thing is that the 'all camera iso mp4 recordings' started all at the same time. When you import them into your video editing software they are already in sync. My biggest time saver is doing the "live switching" while recording and then bring this "live-switched-mix recording" + all iso per camera recordings into my video editor. Then I just change camera where I did not like my live switched choices. This workflow saves already a huge amount of time in post. I have to add that I never record myself so I can focus on the switching while I also zoom,pan,tilt one of the camera's. The same thing can be done with the pro without iso version. You just then have to import all in-camera recordings and sync them with the recorded "live-switched-mix recording". A bit more work but it already saved me much time before I upgraded from "Atem mini pro" to "Atem mini pro iso".
Alex I enjoyed listening to you about the Atem mini pro and extreme, especially the supersource. Alex I love your background, it is canvas or video. I wish if I can do something similar to yours, any suggestion. Thanks a million.
Thanks very much Lloyd. So my background is actually a white wall, with 2 LED lights either side to fill the wall with colour. Pretty easy to replicate if you like the style :)
Super thorough and well explained work flow video. Newbie here so appreciate it but setting up similar set up. Could you record your dialog to the ATEM audio input and then save your ATEM state with your preferred audio processing settings for your dialog so that that step was done when you imported your ATEM project and ISO's? Perhaps the BM Cam XLR inputs produce better audio (better converter?) than the 1/8 mini analog inputs and analog to digital converter on the ATEM. I see the advantage to those moderately priced BM cams w 4k iso's. Nice.
Great stuff here, can’t wait to see more DR info, I need all the help I can get. Have you done a video on your studio lighting? I’d love to know more about that too. Keep up the great work!
Thank very much! There’s definitely more DaVinci Resolve based content coming soon. Would love to know if there’s anything particular about it you’d like to know. As for lighting, I’m actually planning a video on that, as it’s something I get asked quite a bit 😊
@@AlexPettitt good to here. A speed editor deep dive would be great. Maybe something on workflow for taking long videos and cutting them down for multiple social posts? Changing aspect ratios for social videos. Color correction overview. Fusion! Basically every function in DR, that should be 1000 videos or so.
Hi Alex, thanks for the video. Can you point me to a tutorial for grabbing the timecode off the atem and adding it to the google sheet? That would be great!
How ATEM Mini Exteme & DaVinci Resolve & Blackmagic Cameras Supercharged My Editing. Good video, love it, but it's not possible to achieve same thing without these important qualifiers.
I have been editing with FCPX for years. A new friend showed me his how to start using the nodes in DaVinci for color correction. Do you still get the full studio version of DaVinci when you buy the speed control? Your work flow with the new hyper deck is off the chain. I love the teleprompter feature. Plus the notes version for good takes. Would love to see some tutorials using the hyper deck & speed grade editor using stream deck
Hey Alex, really great video! Thank you for sharing with us your edit workflow. Practical yet a very efficient process to edit videos. Any chance you can show us best tips or workflow for creating multi-cam videos using an ATEM switcher and Davinci Resolve? Thanks again!
Hey Alex, thanks for all the tips! I noticed your macs colors are very accurate, are you recording this natively or on via the ATEM? I can't get my ATEM to record/display colors accurately at all. (I've tried the all mac color profiles, but no success there) Anything else you can recommend? Cheers!👍
I've always thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I have a question - I'm in a small studio environment and started out with 2 GH5 cams and a GH4 with the ATEM Mini Extreme. I've purchased one BM Studio Cam 4K and am considering abandoning ship with my GH5 line and moving to get another 4K Studio Cam and maybe a BMPCC 4K to keep everything with similar color science. I've loved my Panasonic cams but I see you are using the BM Studio cam now. Would you recommend that for my scenario?
Hey Remy, I’m hoping to have a video about this out in 2023 as I’ve been testing a new method for this recently which automatically created timeline markers :)
Hello Alex! Thank you for these informative videos! So this video is recorded using footage from the Atem iso and therefore in 1080p is that correct? It’s frustrating that none of these switchers can record in 4K, but I’m just trying to get a handle on exactly what I’m looking at. Thanks for your work!
Excellent explained - have to try this. But I do not understand a part... The ATEM just records HD but in camera you record in 4k and export in 4k? I have recorded also with this ATEM but I thought it makes no sense to record in camera in 4k 50
Question: For a one-person recording studio, I have heard that Blackmagic Cameras have poor autofocus and that Sony's auto eye focus is much easier to work with under those conditions. Alex, what are your thoughts? Thanks for the superb video.
Hey Jeffrey, good question. So the main difference is that BM cameras do not have ‘continuous’ autofocus, the autofocus has to be triggered each time. If you’re a one man band Sat at a desk and not moving around too much, then that’s fine, as you shouldn’t move out of focus once it’s been set. But if there’s a lot of movement and you don’t have an operator to manually focus the camera, thats where continuous autofocus can really come in handy :)
@@AlexPettitt wauw thank you for this comment. I suddenly can scratch BM camera's from my wish list. Auto focus is something I really depend on with my 4 camera, one operator manning the close-up cam and live-switching productions. I record plays, sports and live music performances. I really cannot use camera's without good auto focussing all the time.
Hey Alex, awesome content! I really appreciate it and I took away some great tips. Question: Why don't you use presets for your output render? (Or perhaps you do and you just showed us the changes from baseline)...
Hey Dan, good question. You can definitely make some Render Presets in the delivery tab to save yourself selecting those settings every time. For this video, I wanted to go through the settings and show each one I select :) Hope that helps :)
Alex. That was so helpful. You have such a gift for presentation, as well as looking like Louis Theroux's younger brother 😁 I have only the basic ATEM mini, plus one Sony and one Panasonic camera, but would tend to be recording someone else's playing live medieval music. So, I could consider using the ATEM to select cameras as I go perhaps. Do you have any tips for speeding up the inevitable colour matching in Resolve with that kind of mixture please? Many thanks for the inspiration. Raymond, Nottingham UK.
Thanks so much Earl, I really appreciate you saying that! Haha definitely never been compaired to Theroux before but I'll take it ;) As for matching cameras, my best advice would either be to try and shoot them both as flat as possible so you have more to work with in the edit in DaVinci. Or if you're looking to cut them live on the ATEM, you may be able to go into the cameras menus, and see if you can tweak their colour profiles a bit to get them as close as possible. Then you only need to do small tweaks in DaVinci after :) Hope this helps
@@Roxko4 Thanks for that. It is a good system, and I do that already in Resolve. But I have a situation where we are filming inside a castle for Zoom broadcast the following evening several days in a row. WiFi not good enough for streaming. I can use the excellent Resolve matching for the posh UA-cam version after the festival, but I need to mix/edit on the fly using the ATEM for the immediate broadcast version. So, having an upstream colour match, however crude would be a real advantage. Last year I ended up sleeping only 3 hours on the castle floor trying to edit for the following day 😂
How do you work with the 4k studio cameras where SDI is needed for distance but the atem mini iso is such a cool bit of kit. SDI - HDMI adapters i assume but it gets messy really quickly
Its a tough choice, both great cameras, and really the answer is that it depends what you plan on using it for. It only a studio camera, then go with the Studio 4K... if you think you might also want a camera that can also go out and shoot out and about, then you need something a bit more portable and the pocket is great for both situations :) Either way, both are fantastic for live
Can you send the cams and the ATM timecode from midi!? My mac mini sends my lighting console for automation it also sendS it out of the audio! Thanks for all the videos!
Thanks Samuel! Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m going to do a video to explain this in more details, but essentially it’s a SD multi-action button that pulls time of day using a Google Sheet shortcut. Let you know if it’s something you’d be interested in and I can happily dig out the shortcut and email it 👍
I haven't personally found a way to do this yes, as it would require somehow matching the exact timecode in the ATEM to the non BM cameras. Will keep trying to find a way though
I learned some things today! Thanks. But one question...You only applied your audio presets to the one track. But why not to all the audio tracks, like the VO and Music tracks? Subscribed to your channel.
Hey Doug, good question. This was a specific preset I build for just my voice and my microphone. So I only apply it to that on track one (sometimes on track two for VO as well). For things like sound effects or music, they don’t really need a preset to tweak their audio :) Hope this helps :)
hello, first of all thanks for your teachings, do you know of any system to convert the usb-c output of the streme iso to HDMI to have three signals, multiview, program and clean program?
Is it possible to use my Atem Mini ISO as a user control surface in Resolve? I do 4 camera shoots of live music and then edit in resolve as a post production step. I would like to be able to put my project up on a timeline with all the cameras and then use the Atem to switch between the cameras. Otherwise I have to slice and dice the footage and then on a segment by segment basis delete the unwanted camera angles so I am left with the camera I want for that segment. Is there some better way to do this? Great video. Particularly with a separate fresh resolve project for each new video. I actually have a template directory with my standard sub-directories and a template resolve project file pre-configured with my preferences including copyright/location metadata for the export. I then clone this directory into a new directory and upload my footage. As my defaults change over time, I update my template and then these changes show up in my future projects.
Great suggestions Robert and thanks for sharing your workflow too! Really interesting to hear about the way you work with templates. As for multicam editing, a couple of people have already suggested that as a topic I cover next…. So I’ve added it to my list 👍 Should be out in the near future
is there anyway to replace the footage from the program/line cut of the ATEM with footage from another camera? Similar to the BRAW process but not with a blackmagic camera?
Hey Hampton, yes as far as I understand it, both use the gen 5 colour science. The studio camera and pocket 6k do have difference sensors, but they shouldn’t be very difference. It will definitely be possible to match them in both the ATEM or DaVinci :)
Thank you for your excellent ATEM and Davinci videos. I record 1080 videos of musical groups in my audio recording studio with four 1080 cameras and an ATEM Mini ISO attached to a 1T SSD. The multitrack audio files are captured simultaneously onto a Windows DAW computer system to an external SATA drive. My 1T video drive fills up quick so I have to copy the video projects to a bigger hard drive for editing and storage. Is there a way to connect my ATEM Mini iso AND my music computer to a NAS system so I don't have to keep copying files - isn't that the purpose of a network assisted storage drive? Thank again P.S. Did you know that many drives that are over 8T(?) have helium surrounding the spinning discs and that such sealed enclosures can leak leading to disc failure?
I found an answer to my first question- according to someone on the Black Magic user group: "No ATEM Mini model can currently save to NAS." If that is the case, I don't understand: ATEM Mini iso cameras consume huge amounts of drive space and transferring the files to another drive for editing wastes time and energy. Is there a way to connect both my Computer DAW and ATEM Mini iso to a NAS hard drive system? (so I don't have to copy video files to a larger drive for editing, backup and synchronization with my music files)
Really hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful! I you have any questions, just let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Also if you have any tips you want to share with everyone else... put them below ⬇️

You have definitely struck up my interest to get the new hyper deck & the speed grade unit. I also have the stream deck & haven’t been using my ATEM mini pro iso video switcher. I had to get a new laptop to run all this. Plus get another Sony body to match up my color profiles when switching.

I haven't personally found a way to do this yes, as it would require somehow matching the exact timecode in the ATEM to the non BM cameras. Will keep trying to find a way though
@@AlexPettitt Thank you for replying! I guess a challenge is always good😁Keep up the good work Brother👍
I learned some things today! Thanks. But one question...You only applied your audio presets to the one track. But why not to all the audio tracks, like the VO and Music tracks? Subscribed to your channel.
Hey Doug, good question. This was a specific preset I build for just my voice and my microphone. So I only apply it to that on track one (sometimes on track two for VO as well). For things like sound effects or music, they don’t really need a preset to tweak their audio :) Hope this helps :)
hello, thank you for your videos they are amazing!!!
what if I want to color grade each CUT(clip) separatly?
hello, first of all thanks for your teachings, do you know of any system to convert the usb-c output of the streme iso to HDMI to have three signals, multiview, program and clean program?
Is it possible to use my Atem Mini ISO as a user control surface in Resolve? I do 4 camera shoots of live music and then edit in resolve as a post production step. I would like to be able to put my project up on a timeline with all the cameras and then use the Atem to switch between the cameras.
Otherwise I have to slice and dice the footage and then on a segment by segment basis delete the unwanted camera angles so I am left with the camera I want for that segment. Is there some better way to do this?
Great video. Particularly with a separate fresh resolve project for each new video. I actually have a template directory with my standard sub-directories and a template resolve project file pre-configured with my preferences including copyright/location metadata for the export. I then clone this directory into a new directory and upload my footage. As my defaults change over time, I update my template and then these changes show up in my future projects.
Great suggestions Robert and thanks for sharing your workflow too! Really interesting to hear about the way you work with templates.
As for multicam editing, a couple of people have already suggested that as a topic I cover next…. So I’ve added it to my list 👍 Should be out in the near future
No to using the ATEM as an DR interface (as of now) Learn the Multicam Editor built into Resolve. It is a great interface and will save you much time.
is there anyway to replace the footage from the program/line cut of the ATEM with footage from another camera? Similar to the BRAW process but not with a blackmagic camera?
great video... I have the BMPCC 6k pro. I'm considering getting the Studio 4k ... will the color science still be easy to match in pre production?
Hey Hampton, yes as far as I understand it, both use the gen 5 colour science. The studio camera and pocket 6k do have difference sensors, but they shouldn’t be very difference. It will definitely be possible to match them in both the ATEM or DaVinci :)
If not….. can i make a macro along to a song i perform, and then it change cameras and whatnot along to the songs!1
Thank you for your excellent ATEM and Davinci videos. I record 1080 videos of musical groups in my audio recording studio with four 1080 cameras and an ATEM Mini ISO attached to a 1T SSD. The multitrack audio files are captured simultaneously onto a Windows DAW computer system to an external SATA drive. My 1T video drive fills up quick so I have to copy the video projects to a bigger hard drive for editing and storage. Is there a way to connect my ATEM Mini iso AND my music computer to a NAS system so I don't have to keep copying files - isn't that the purpose of a network assisted storage drive? Thank again P.S. Did you know that many drives that are over 8T(?) have helium surrounding the spinning discs and that such sealed enclosures can leak leading to disc failure?
I found an answer to my first question- according to someone on the Black Magic user group: "No ATEM Mini model can currently save to NAS." If that is the case, I don't understand: ATEM Mini iso cameras consume huge amounts of drive space and transferring the files to another drive for editing wastes time and energy. Is there a way to connect both my Computer DAW and ATEM Mini iso to a NAS hard drive system? (so I don't have to copy video files to a larger drive for editing, backup and synchronization with my music files)
What Mac do you use?
It’s a 16” MacBook Pro, fully spec’d. Very tempted to upgrade to the M1 version… but this one is already a complete beast :)
How time code can be send to exel through stream deck any video?
How do I use the ATEM control software when the only USB connection is recording the iso files to disk, you seem to be doing both ?
You need to connect and control your ATEM over the network (Ethernet). There is a video on my channel about how to do this if you need instructions :)
@@AlexPettitt Thank you - I'll check it out now
it makes no sense (except for larger files) to record, edit and upload your videos in 50fps ;- )
Haha I just love the look of 50fps personally :) And I'm in the UK, so work mainly in PAL standard
@@AlexPettitt yes, we are on 25fps here in europe
This is not new type of recording video. I can do the same thing with my Sony gear.
I doubt that you can do it all
Many thnx!
