I am watching this video in awe, pondering on the amount of rework required to configure something similar for the new ATEM Mini Extremes!
Awesome info all in one place, definitely my new Companion go-to reference, thanks for putting this together!
Glad it was helpful!
I hope you get 20 views from my constant reviewing of the material, as usual.
Your grasp of the "drill down" ability here is fun to watch, and your production value since the "All in one" fly package is 100%.
Thank you for all these videos.
My pleasure- glad it is helpful!
Awesome work, David - And I am particularly happy to see a little sneak at H2R Graphics in there! Nice tip with the "hide all" method!
Thank YOU John! H2R is amazing. Love how easy it is to use. I imagine you saw the whole chapter on it in the Demo video czcams.com/video/yPrIHCiQNrQ/video.html and screen switching between H2R and VLC using Vicreo in the Install video czcams.com/video/rrJY2_cfUUw/video.html. Thanks again for your work!
Really liking how you have built the integration for H2R and VLC to work together using VICREO. I already use these instances but unfortunately some of the vicreo commands only works on MacOS. I will explore how to make it work in Win10.
@@champagj VICREO is a little slow under Big Sur at the moment. Hopefully that speeds up soon.
Love this. Really helpful and fills a gap in the Companion/Stream Deck / ATEM documentation. Thank you!
Glad you got it sorted.
Thank you! That's pure gold 💪
Really awesome info David, thanks so much for charing! Now i have to let my brain process all the information before i'm going to attempt to rework my own companion menus.
Glad it was helpful!
Extremely helpful ! Thanks !!!
Vielen Dank. Das ist eine grosse Hilfe!
my pleasure
This is such an informative and super video!!!
Merci David. C’est génial. Bravo pour ce boulot. Paul
Thanks Paul, you're welcome.
Just what I`ve been looking for.... thanks
Enjoy!
Genius
Great Video series!! Super helpful...thanks! I’ve started importing elements of your profile into one of my own, and this really helped save a lot of time...I’m trying to squeeze all of this into the 15 button stream deck...got VLC and R2R all talking but my tinkering has not yet achieved the mighty “long press” function...which triggers companion to crash...maybe something is not jiving with Osc...I’ll go back and watch again.
Make sure the OSC's target IP address is targeting the computer IP!
@@davidjoshuaford yep. I updated that yesterday and it’s no longer crashing, but something is still not working with the long press function...I’ll go thru the setup process again to ensure I haven’t forgotten anything else...getting close...one thing I can’t quite get is opening H2R to full screen without clicking on h2r on my mac...
Still can't figure out how to get H2R to open to full screen without clicking the app...Also in VLC, your sample videos play great...but I can't get anything else to play in VLC...I'm trying to load just .mov files but it just gives me errors and launches your videos. I've looked around the net but I haven't been able to find much on the subject. Is there something I need to adjust in VLC preferences? I'm assuming VLC plays more than just David Joshua Ford videos lol...as stunning as they are!
Any help would be most appreciated
On these long press buttons I can’t get the generic osc to do its bit. What should settings be for the osc instance? Mine is targeting the IP of my companion pi, port 8000, but it won’t execute the press button command
Great video! Just wondering how you program the button for your "wide to tight" preset recall that I often see on the intro for your more recent videos? I'm hitting a wall in understanding what I might be missing in accomplishing this. I'm running Companion 2.2, using Sony VISCA protocol for SMTAV PTZs. I've been able to get almost everything else programmed, aside from this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I’ve developed a cue system for my run of show. The first button is PRE that sets everything to first positions, such as recalling PTZ preset 1. Then when I go live, the next cue is RUN. That drops the music volume, cuts Cam1 to program, and does three PTZ actions: sets it to Time Mode, sets the drive time to 30sec, and then recalls PTZ position 2. This is using the Canon XC protocol, but you would be able to achieve the same thing with Sony VISCA
Hello! Thank you so much for these videos, it really has helped me with my workflows. I am curious how you setup the ATEM Audio fader control, as from my companion instance, it only seems to allow me to set a fader level, not move it up or down as yours does. Did you use ATEM Macros? Thanks again!
Haha yes, I created a little trick for that! You will find the answer in the fader buttons on the audio page in my Companion profile :)
@@davidjoshuaford I received your files and loaded them up. Unfortunately the Fader buttons do not work on my side. All the other audio options do. Would you be able do help me understand how they are supposed to work? Thank you.
Do you have any info on setting up the Tally to work with phones? It was mentioned in the initial setup as working with wireless tally but I haven't found any information on that. Thanks!
It's using Companion's built in Emulator (TARGET_IP:8000/emulator.html). Make sure your phone or tablet is on the same network as companion's server and then go to that address in a web browser (replacing "TARGET_IP" with the relevant address).
This is Sooo Awesome. Thank you soo much for sorting all this out and publishing it here.
I have a question
I have the Streamdeck XL and ATEM mini Pro, loaded and configured all the software and imported the profile. In the companion, I see all the proper text on the buttons and it is connected to the Streamdeck but instead of seeing the macro name I just see macro 1, macro 2, etc. I'm on a PC with Windows 10
Again, Thanks so much for this. It will bring my streaming production to where I imagined much more easily then I imagined
Hi Tevye, you'll also need to import the ATEM macros into the ATEM Software control app, and Save Startup State. Then the macro names will show up in Companion.
@@davidjoshuaford Thanks so much, Loving this!
@@davidjoshuaford I also watched the video for the rig you devised. You are a Rockstar. So many ideas in one small package.
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to have a button that changes its functionality based on how many times you have pushed it? Let's say I want to trigger a given sequence of macros, and instead of having several buttons for each macro, I want the original button to switch to trigger the next macro when I press it the second time, and so on.
2. Is it possible to make the pressing of a button switch the functionality of another button? Like, not switching to another complete panel, but only change specific buttons?
Both these questions are sports related, so I'll give an example. Let's say you want to trigger some graphics briefly showing the standings if there is a score in other games that you're not broadcasting. In the beginning, the score is 0-0, so the only two buttons you'll need is one to trigger the announcement of 1-0 and one for 0-1. But once you have pressed the 1-0 button, the only next two possibilities will be 1-1 or 2-0, so then i want the same two buttons to have those options instead, triggering two different graphics.
Magnus - great question! I would like that functionality too. It's not possible to store variables at the moment, but I hear from the developers on the user groups that an upcoming build will include a module with that capability. So watch this space!
thank you for this great video series! so much value!
I can't seem to find the download for the profiles? I signed up to the email list but only got the mailchimp verification mail..
Hi Johannes, Mailchimp seems to lose the occasional email. Shoot me an email to the address on the Contact page and I'll sort you out.
Great work David! I am looking forward to getting your download email. I have the regular 15 buttons Streamdeck. Is it going to be very difficult to make this all work with that? Any suggestions might you have about that? Thank You
it's the same software and interface for the 15 page SD, you'll just have to remove some buttons to make it fit. There's a grey shadow outline on the button page in Companion that will highlight what buttons end up in the 15 and 6 key SD versions.
may i ask what is the OSC - you have it in connections. how can i find that to install it. i wanna do long and short press actions.
Open Sound Control - there’s a module within Companion, and I use it to send commands to press other buttons. It will likely become redundant for this use case when Companion v3 is released.
This is so good, especially the dynamically named buttons... Is there a way to add additional text to buttons? For example I've tried to add "PGM $(atem:pgm1_input)" but it doesn't update dynamically as it does when I simply use $(atem:pgm1_input)
Actually that now works, but it seems the feedback for the 2 AUX's isn't working currently in Companion....
Glad you got it working. There’s only 1 AUX on the minis, unless you’re talking about the Extremes?
@@davidjoshuaford yeah it’s the extreme I’m working with, need to update to 2.2 today...
@@IsotonikStudios from what I hear on the forums, there are still some bugs being ironed out on the Extreme companion module. Hopefully the developers fix them in the coming weeks.
How did you do Chroma key inside a circular pattern mask? 2x Atem Mini Pro or 1x Atem Mini Extreme?
You’d need a 2ME for that, so yes- a base level ATEM mini doing the green screen and background layer, output to an ATEM mini pro to handle the circular pattern key would do the trick. You could achieve a square result with 1 extreme instead
@@davidjoshuaford I have achieved a PIP circular pattern + chroma key with 1x Atem Mini Extreme. Upstream key 1 = virtual backdrop with flying key. Upstream key 2 = camera with chroma key and flying key. Upstream key 3 = full screen source with inverted circular mask in bottom right. Upstream key 4 = circular border.png from media pool. So fiddly! Thanks for all your content, it has helped immensely.
