*NOTE: I noticed again there is some staggering/laggy/dropped frames in certain parts of the video. Again, I checked on the raw file extracted from the direct recording from the ATEM Mini Pro and there is no such problem, the video was normally smooth without any jumps. I suspect it as got to do with my Final Cut Pro X editing software, it happens mostly immediately after I have made a cut/trim on the video.

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! I will definitely try my best to bring more videos to everyone :)))
Thanks, Steph! Very helpful and clear directions and information
Thank you again!
Of all the videos out there you are the only one who shows how to put a still in background... I played with all the options and thought it couldn't be done...yet so simple... for those who look for this, timestamp is 6:25
Thanks CAC2244!
Brilliant, thank you so much
You’re an excellent teacher! I’m switching from
Wirecast to Atem Mini Pro. You answered the question for how to use a video for the background. Thank you! Sub and Like added!
Thank you IrixGuy for watching and commenting. Appreciate your time. You will enjoy the upgrade to the Atem Mini Pro I'm sure. If you have any questions do feel free to ask and I'll try my best to help!
nice coverage, the only one like this for the ATEM I've found :-)
NOT GONNA LIE ! UR EXPLANATION WAS SO CLEAR ! TQ STEP
Thank you Shalqi! Appreciate your kind comments!
Thank you Mr. Steph Lee, really appreciate your content. Really helps & save my time, please do take care yar. Azrain (Malaysia)
Thank u Azrain, my neighbour from across the border! Stay safe and hope we can all travel soon 💗
This saved my life I been trying figure this out an you just showed the way
Awesome!
Great job
THAN YOU!!!
Great Work ! Thank you.
Thank you Dan for watching!
We just had the Mini Pro installed to begin live streaming our church services.. there wasn't much training involved. I hope over the next week I can learn more about how to use as a beginner for the simple FB live stream.
thanks for the video
great job
excellent tutorial
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I was told ATEM couldn’t play video clips from the media pool. Video clips can only be played through OBS.
I think the media pool only allows picture files, in JPG or PNG format. What I usually do is connect a 2nd laptop (which has the videos) and plug it into one of the sources/inputs, usually the 4th one. then when I need to play the video files I just switch.
Thank u bro!!!
Thank you Duce!
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Hi! Can I use the same background using a green screen from two different camera views?
Is it possible to save the key adjustment/chroma correction settings? Right now I have to re-enter the values every time I open ATEM software control
Hi Steph: by artifacts I mean ghost type shadows outlining the person
Do you Always need the Software to do the Chroma key or do you have to configure it just once and load the settings in the ATEM hardware?
Thanks Steph, are there any issues relative to showing artifacts (like there is with Zoom) when using the still images in MP1 as background?
Hi GB what do you mean by showing artifacts?
I see that Key 2, 3 and 4 are greyed out. Is there no way to add additional upstream keys on the Atem Mini Pro (ISO)?
Do you know how hard it is to get an Atem Mini Pro at the moment. It’s very hard !!
Thanks for the information and step by step video. not sure i ask for too much. how about next video for lower third tutorial + transition which is downstream ?
Hi Carter not at all! I appreciate your comments and letting me know what videos or tutorials you would like me to do or feature, keep those suggestions coming in! The Downstream Key tutorials were actually halfway done and was supposed to go into the Chroma Key video but I reckoned it would be too long to watch so I broke it up into another video. Stay tuned for that coming up shortly this week :)
@@StephLeeTech one quick question, can use this upstream function for corporate
logo ?
@@carterchan5295 Hi Carter Yes you can! The Upstream Key to replace the green background with your logo (either with a Still or a wallpaper from the Computer input) will do fine. However I think the Downstream Key suits this better and I will be talking more about this in my next video
@@StephLeeTech THanks alot for the reply, cant wait for your next video.
@@carterchan5295 Hi Carter Yes you actually can, although the Downstream Key would be more appropriate for this. I have just released a new video that teaches you how to use the Downstream Key to create your Corporate Logo here czcams.com/video/4UIFfBKtDvY/video.html
Bit late to this by a few year yet since you seem to be way on top of how to make this little box do stuff- can the ATEM mini Pro handle mixing three cameras with two being split into the background of the foreground, which is shot with green screen? Thinking of being able to show front, left and top angles simultaneously for physical exercise for instance. Thanks!
Hey thanks for watching! I have not tried that before but if it works do let me know so I can share it here on the channel!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was wondering if this is possible: I have 4 different people/HDMI input cameras I am recording, and for each person/camera input, I want a DIFFERENT green screen background to show, is this possible?
Hi i think it's not possible yet with the current Atem setup. But you can try, if it works do let me know!
Steph have you tried chroma keying 2 camera angles to match 2 different angles of background? will creating 2 macros do the trick?
Hi Wayne! I have tried this and it doesn't work unfortunately... I've got another view asking a similar question, Camera 1's view is a wide shot of both speakers and Cam 2 is a close up of Speaker 1, but when you zoom in the view the background is still the same image as Camera 1, it does not "zoom in" with the view as well. I gave a solution to change the background when he zoomed in to Camera 2, meaning the static image is already zoomed in (in Photoshop) so when you switch to Cam 2, the background is close up as well. It's not a pretty work around though but for now that's probably the best we can do :p
Great video ! wanna try, bc. my ATEM mini Pro is new for me. / chroma key needs a color, like yours "green".. can you take other colors ? red or gray ?
Hi Fokke thank you for your time watching our videos! Really appreciate it. Yes you can use other colors and use the Chroma Sampling sample the backdrop color so that the Keyer will key out your background but green or blue is always recommended. The industry reason why we always use a green screen is because it doesn't match any natural skin tone or hair color, meaning no part of an actor will be edited out through chroma key. When a green costume or prop is essential, a blue screen is often substituted.
@@StephLeeTech thnx for your quick reply. Will get one in blue or green, again thnx.
Hello and thank you for all the info on the Atem mini pro. I have a question when I want to connect with my ethernet cable impossible to connect to facebook and sorry last question how we can do live stream restream 1000 times thank you
Hi Serge when you say "Impossible to connect to Facebook", what are the problems you are facing?
And are you talking about Restream.io? Sorry I have no experience in using that but I found some information which might be useful to you here: support.video.ibm.com/hc/en-us/articles/212811349-How-to-use-Restream-io-to-Broadcast-to-Multiple-Publishing-Points
Hey Steph, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to connect the ATEM to computer using the Ethernet to USB port you mentioned here. I have one and I been very unsuccessful using it... I am a MAC user by the way. Any help would be much appreciated it. Thank you!!!
Hi Sergio! Thanks for writing in again! I am also a MAC user. What kind of problems are you facing? As much as I dislike the PC, I admit that using the MAC sometimes gives me some expected headaches. It's not exactly a very plug and play machine, sometimes it doesn't detect anything. However when I reboot both machines (usually the AMP first) the signal will come up.
Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. I just got my ATEM Mini Pro today and i tried to set it up. How do you use the software control on the laptop whilst using the USB-C for recording to an ext hdd? As soon as i unplugged the USB from the laptop, the connection is lost. Pls enlighten. Thank you.
Hi Ronny! Thank you for taking time to watch our videos! I recommend the USB-C to be used only for recording (instead of as a webcam) and leave the connection (to the laptop) using the Ethernet port. I talked more about this in my video here: czcams.com/video/Peg-z2k9mS4/video.html Do check out my other Atem Mini Pro videos as I believe they should give you a very good picture on how to use it by the time you finished watching them :))
It's at time 1:54 of that video (czcams.com/video/Peg-z2k9mS4/video.html) if you need to see it directly but I would recommend watching the whole video and I speak about the individual buttons and how to use them
@@StephLeeTech I think I am not phrasing my question right. I have an ATEM MINI. I am able to connect my ATME mini to my laptop via the ethernet port, so that i cld use the ATEM software and do some basic switching. The USB is then connected to another laptop just for streaming purpose. But I can't configure that for ATEM MINI Pro. After setting up, I still have to connect the PRO and my laptop via the USB in other for the software to detect the PRO. How can I free the USB so that I can use it for recording? Is this one of the limitations of the MINI PRO?
So in other words, can I use the software to control the switching without using the USB? Like doing lower thirds, chroma keying, the stuff that you taught, without connecting the USB to the laptop?
@@ronnychan8003 Hi Ronny thanks for your question. I think I'm not getting you. Can I check, when you connect the Atem Mini Pro console to your laptop using the ethernet port, do you mean that you are NOT able to use the Atem Software Control?
Hi Steph - awesome work - keep it up! I am from Germany and I have a little question.. rather a little problem. I have chroma keyed myself and I am using a pic from the media player as a background. Now I would like to fly in Graphics like a logo with the downstream keyer but I cant find a possibility to choose another pic from the media player.. ist that possible?
Hi Johnny thanks for dropping by my channel and I hope you like what I have done so far! Appreciate your time and comments. Yes it is possible! One way to do it is to select your Fill Source (Upstream Key1, Chroma) for Camera 4 and connect your HDMI port 4 to a laptop and display the pic as your background. Then you would free up the Downstream Key for flying in the overlaying graphics. Hope it works for you!
@@StephLeeTech thanks for quick response - I will try that.
It worked fine!
@@tierfototraum Awesome!
hi! thanks for the tutorial. one question. I have 2 cameras both with green screen background. one is wide shot and the other is off angle or to my guest.. how to switch between 2 cameras and still retain the same background?
Hi! I have tried this and it doesn't work unfortunately... I've got another view asking a similar question, Camera 1's view is a wide shot of both speakers and Cam 2 is a close up of Speaker 1, but when you zoom in the view the background is still the same image as Camera 1, it does not "zoom in" with the view as well.

It's not a pretty work around though but for now that's probably the best we can do :p
@@StephLeeTech Thank you! much appreciated
Thanks for this video! About this topic, I was wondering if I can use separate backgrounds for each different camera? So the wideshot for three speakers has a still image A for background, close to speaker 2 is still image B and the third close is still image C. Would I be able to do that without any problems? Thanks again!
Congratulations Steph’
Is it possible to use with ATEM Mini pro as chroma key a video instead of a picture?
Hi Fabio yes at 4:13 the background was a video from camera 2
Great tutorial! Question: Is there any way to permanently tie the chroma key to one source only, so it's always active when that source is selected, but then turns off when a different source is selected - and then back on when that green screen source is selected again?? In a real world small studio, nobody would need it active with every source. Only the ones with a green screen.
Hi Derek you can try to use Macros to program a specific function that you wish to operate using the chroma key 👍🏽
@@StephLeeTech thanks, I’ll give it a shot!
I am curious, if you connect your ATEM to Laptop using Ethernet, How do you stream straight from ATEM mini, since your ethernet port is not connect to the internet directly? thanks
Hi Lennerd you have to share your laptop's internet connection with your Atem Mini Pro. So your laptop is connected to the location's wifi, and the Atem Mini "borrows" your internet from your laptop. Hope that's clear!
Steph Lee Films oh wow, I didn’t know about such function. Thanks! Alternatively we can use the USB to control right?
@@LennerdLim Hi Lennerd you still have to share your internet connection to your Atem mini if you want to use it to stream directly.
Steph Lee Films I see! No problem! Thanks

Steph Lee Films hey I noticed after I record onto hard drive and loaded it into the video software, I noticed that as well. When I use Vlc player to view the mpeg file it’s plays smoothly, so the actuall video file was smooth. Also I noticed when I transfer the mpeg file from the hard drive to my phone to view it, it is not able to play, but it should because it’s an mpeg file. Pretty strange, let me know if you have experienced that as well. Great job and thank u for the vids
@@DuceLeeTV Yes Duce I got the same problem, although it seems to be mpeg but I think the codec may be different hence unable to play. Did you play the file on your phone using VLC for Android?
@@StephLeeTech I have a Samsung s20plus , and I just used the regular video player to play the video. And it did not work. Not sure exactly why. I haven't downloaded vlc on my phone to view it. But that is strange that they claim it's an mpeg and it doesn't play on the phone...😒 🤔
@@DuceLeeTV Hi Duce from my experience that happens. Another option is MXPlayer which seems to play most video file extensions.
Instead of using software for your title their is a much better solution. Create a html file with a green background. You can easily put a logo in it, a timer and anything you want. Load the html in a browser and put it in full screen. Make sure it is on the desktop steamed to your atem pro
the Atem mini pro iso does not show up in the report. the mini is on same network as the computer I am using photoshop in.
Hi Cal are u using static IP or DHCP for your Atem Mini
Static IP
hi can the background be a video?
Yes it can! Replace the background with your Input to your laptop
@@StephLeeTech i cant i need 3 types... 3 different angles 3 different takes of the green screen just like snoop dog podcast
@@quieroganar I have no idea what's a Snoop dog podcast
@@StephLeeTech czcams.com/video/wBxK3WEtN8I/video.html
@@StephLeeTech 3 cameras greenscreen same video background running 3 different scales
I wanna see video instead of stills
