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
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.
You just solved the biggest problem I have with making videos. I know what to shoot and how to shoot it , then I’m stuck with video on my phone and action camera. For example, I have the action camera mounted on the steering column and the phone on the dash. Problem is, I don’t know how to put the 2 together. This thing makes it so easy! I gotta get it!
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 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 UA-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.
IMO, one of the most useful tutorial/reviews you guys have put out lately! I'm very likely to purchase the middle tier for my podcast, real soon! Cheers, Omar 🙏🏼
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 💗
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.
I use this at work, doing live product demonstrations over MS Teams as a virtual webcam for our x-ray inspection machines. It's a fantastic piece of kit, and very flexible. Use it hooked up to a canon c200, laptop and separate workstation pc, with sennheiser lav mic for audio. Great bit of kit.
The antidote to anxiety is action. May this be a sign to get up & go do that thing. Press record. Edit that footage. Make that thumbnail. May your worries wash away and all your UA-cam dreams come true 💗 Dr. Liz
This is so cool! It takes me dayyyys to edit. I don't show off products but it would be cool to show different angles while I'm recording to keep things more interesting.

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)
Sure it's been mentioned (haven't read all the comments... One big thing you don't get with the normal mini ($295)is the ability to stream directly from it. Starting at the Pro level ($495) there's an onboard encoder that is rock solid. Also there are 2 more Minis: Extreme and Extreme ISO (the one I'm looking at buying). The Extreme doubles up everything and adds buttons for even more realtime control. Lastly I would say one of the best values to the ATEM Mini (and all of the ATEMs for that matter) is the browser interface. REALLY Powerful for the price!!
Great product.. have the pro and the extreme as well. We use it with a Rodecaster pro 2 and upwards of 5 cameras for our podcast and videos. Nice explanation
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.
Omar great timing on this video, because I’m researching video switchers for my setup. More than likely the mini pro version. Oh, what is the name and price of the small monitor seen in the video? Do I need to purchase another monitor to use with my setup? I’m currently using a Mac mini with a 29 inch wide screen. Thanks
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
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?
You mentioned the HDMI out could be connected to an external monitor. If you’re live streaming with Streamyard, would you use the HDMI out to connect to your computer?
I don’t know specifically about Streamyard. However if you connect the Atem Mini (any version) to your computer via the USB-C port. It will show up just like a webcam.
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?
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.
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
I plan on getting the mini to increase workflow. I like the idea of switching camera angles. I want to have at minimum 2 angles, but ultimately 3. I also want to start doing more youtube lives. I think this in an excellent product for that
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!
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
Thank you for the detailed video! I’m looking to deploy one of these in my podcast for many of the post-production benefits you mentioned. I’m wondering how you’re capturing your audio when you use it ? Are you taking a scratch audio from the hdmi source and also recording externally on a good mic & recorder? Are you also recording video locally in each camera or only using the ATEM? Thank you 🙏
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!
I did this via Zoom where we spotlight different cameras and stream to UA-cam... this would have been a game changer, with the budget I had, Zoom worked. But moving into the future...
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!
the Atem mini pro is awesome. Tip, use the hdmi out to a monitor recorder like the Ninja v and free up ur USB c port to connect to ur computer for other things
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, UA-cam live etc. As long as the camera has HDMI out … it just works. Super easy.
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
Thank you 🙇
Just ordered this to go with Rodecaster Duo & Stream Deck, Podmic, HD 280 Pro headset and Stream yard account. Can't wait!!!
I appreciate this so much. Thanks for the encouragement.
today, 29/05/24, ordered mine - the pro version.
i have to have it from my next video

I feel like I just watched something the film industry didn’t want me to know. This is awesome.
Pretty cool, huh?! Keep crushing it!
This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you so much! We were literally looking at switchers the same day you released this video. Might be a sign! lol
Editing is the most time consuming part of creating content! Great video 🚀

By far the single thing that has sped up both my filming and editing the most was the purchase of a teleprompter.

Love the simplicity and knowledge of operation of products being displayed,great job
And buy extreme version, it’s more expensive but you can use it with sdd to record video.
The pro / pro ISO both have the ability to use a SSD as mentioned in the video!

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!!
This is a game changer
Just received the Pro ISO today 🙏🏼 can’t wait to start using it
How is it
Superb review, thank you. I will purchase this now for delivering online training
That’s amazing! I just don’t see my channel using it often
This is the fix I need in life. That is is look pretty good.
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.
We use this for streaming our church service. It is a nice bit of kit.
I could see this being really handy, especially being able to overlay a screen from an iPad in between a camera angle or two
I’m a yarn creator so this is a great option to start.
Love it. Want to see your video on how to use it too
I'm stoked getting one immediately thanks 💯🙏🤘
Thanks for the useful video! Can you talk about your Pelikan case setup? I just bought ATEM Mini Pro and I love the idea! Thanks again!
Definitely useful information . Just about to start trying live-streaming , so once I can get another camera , this would also be fantastic
Definitely 😎🥂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯… Thanks 😊 for this super helpful video!
This device has Meet Kevin written all over it, and I LIKE IT
YES! ???HOW DOES WORK WITHSTREAM YARD???
I got a Atem Mini and Atomos Ninja and they are a perfect combination to start a multi camera podcast!!
i actualy wanna buy it right now
Looks very handy and anything that saves time in editing is a plus!

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?
You can record directly to an SSD connected to the USB-C port.
Hahah awesome! I'll look forward to investing in this when I up my game.
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.
Omar you explained it so clearly. I'm not thinking about live streaming so I'm gonna go pro.
Thank you! Excellent review for someone just getting into it.
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
This ain’t for newbs

There is no shortcut to execution!

i would total use it thank you bro.
I have the original ATEM Mini. Works great for my current needs.
Yes, Yes, Yes, so informative!
*_Love your Videos! Helps a lot! Hello from China! 你好_*
Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback!!
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.
This looks very interesting, great review Omar.
Must get this!
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!
It's got me interested for the post editing stuff...
This would be awesome to try out!
You guys are using usb/xlr mics for your show - so how do you run them into the Mini? Great review BTW
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
That's nice and neat. cam link 4K and a stream deck and you can switch different seans . And just keep on filming

@2:40 you're wrong, ATEM Mini Extreme came out a few months ago and has double the HDMI & USB-C Ports
I Love those atem mini mixers want to purchase then but i don't do that type of content. I like the 8 camera input version.
Looks like a great tool. I’d have fun with it but can’t use it right now.
There was definitely no better name than BLACKmagic!
Amazing videos! I would like to start recording dj sets with multiple angle cameras. Would you recommend the mini iso for this?
Thank you. Super helpful. I had one question. Is the auto button a feature that switches video based on who's speaking?
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
I did this via Zoom where we spotlight different cameras and stream to UA-cam... this would have been a game changer, with the budget I had, Zoom worked. But moving into the future...
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!

Can u record multiple angles with the pro for podcast?
I use the ATM mini and make Quicktime do a recording to hard drive while filming, a simple workaround for the mini which saved me $200:-)
Could you explain more about this work around? I don’t live stream much but do pre recorded videos but want to incorporate multi cam into it.
Great review, please can I connect the USB out on the ATEM mini pro to a large display screen for the audience
thank you so much for this video so informative great job.
Tv studio with director; camera1- give me a close up; cam2-total shot; etc, etc
Thanks for your beautiful content i watch your every video.
Pls tell that is rode video mic go good?
it's a GREAT mic
5:07 so it does multi camera angles for podcasting and it is also usable for live streaming
hey guys, love all the content. Can you record a video on how to set up your canon camera as a webcam?
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, UA-cam live etc.
As long as the camera has HDMI out … it just works. Super easy.
Hope you can show how you use this! Thank you
Thank you for finally reviewing this product I have been waiting because I have a question. How do you deal with the hum from the mic inputs?
They make Atem Mini Extreme, with 8 hdmi outputs.
I use mine for my daily show on this channel. Works great 🤙🏻
