Hello David, Thank You for all of your efforts. I have read the previous posts and I am really looking forward to the “15 Button” layout “modification”. So here is another “plug” to help motivate you to complete the new 15 button layout. I was going to try the 32 and try to “mod” it myself, but I got confused just thinking about it LOL! At any rate, thank you again, and keep up the great work, you’re an Inspiration!
Thanks for the endorsement! It's an interesting process of reduction...thinking through the logic of what's most necessary and the order of operations :)
amazing work, Thx for your detailed tutorial!!!
I’m starting from scratch. I run a live show on a Wednesday with iPhones and Streamyard and want to upgrade to an ATEM. The new extreme looks good. I just found your channel and subscribed.
Awesome! good luck to your show!
Great content by dude. I’m a teacher who’s getting into streaming and this is gold!!! The installation process is really convoluted and I guess I need to learn more foundations before adding a stream deck to my workflow. I’ll master my ATEM Mini Pro first before trying to do both the ATEM and Stream Deck. It’s really powerful stuff and can help ease the workflow greatly. But first, foundations!!! :)
Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Mr Heng! Stream Deck will make your ATEM easier....!! Check out the written installation instructions on my blog for up-to-date little tips and tricks. davidjoshuaford.com/production/companion-install/
Outstanding series. I'm sure Alex Lindsay's Office Hours show would love to have you as special guest. This subject is really important to the ATEM workflow. Will you consider one-on-one consulting or building custom profiles? I have a HyperDeck for videos and would like incorporate it as well. Thanks for your excellent presentation and generosity.
awesome mate... thanks
Glad it helped!
Nice video i did get your Stream Deck Companion Profiles its real good, when are you going to have for ATEM Mini Extreme ISO?
Hey Keto, thanks for getting the DJF Companion Profile. Working on an Extreme version at the moment!
Can't remember if this was covered in an earlier video: If you have buttons that are tied to OSC instance actions that are NOT working, ensure that the target IP is correct.
Go to instances tab and edit the osc module. The target IP should be 127.0.0.1 and the port is 12321
Yes! czcams.com/video/rrJY2_cfUUw/video.html
THIS IS AWESOME! THANK YOU DAVID!
I am doing the setup now. As I do not yet have any StreamDeck hardware, I am just running the software and an IPAD emulation to get used to everything. Seems that the Elgato Streamdeck software will only show the 15 button layout, but not the one for the XL ?
Correct - Elgato's iOS Stream Deck app is only 15 buttons. I wish they'd make a 32-button version....seems like an easy software update. I am creating a 15-button version of my original Companion profile layout that will work on it.
Many thanks,
I am having trouble with vlc 3.0.12 version to set up the Enable http password!!!
Any help please 🙏
@David Joshua Ford - Amazing work you've done here. Thank you for your efforts. I have a question: I own the medium sized Streamdeck (15 button, not 32). When I load up the full profile backup, a new device is created in the Streamdeck app (Streamdeck XL) and all the correct buttons and profiles show up in the app. This is great, but not usuable (yet) as I have no XL. I am able to import the individual profiles directly into the medium-sized Streamdeck device, but they don't show correctly (obviously, smaller surface) AND they don't behave the same way. (ex. HOME button takes me to "default profile", not HOME profile)
Is there an easy way to adapt the XL settings/profiles to work with the smaller Streamdeck? (I know it would have less functionality, because less buttons)
Thanks again for creating these profiles and making all the pieces work together. I can't wait to try it all out once I can get my hands on a price-gouged XL. (Now running ~$600. MSRP = $249.99)
Hey there - yes I have similar problems within SD's native software when I import to 15-button. All the menu buttons jump to the wrong profile, so I've had to go through manually and retarget them. I've had so many people asking about the 15 button layout, I'm considering adapting the 32 layout into a 15 button layout when I get the time. And you're correct - the 32 SDs are a crazy high price at the moment. It would be good if Elgato could update their app to include a 32 button layout for the iPad (or even phone too). Regarding Companion adaptation, seems like you already have the gist of it, but there's a graphic at the bottom of my page showing how to adapt 32 button layout into the 15 or 6 button profiles davidjoshuaford.com/production/companion/
@@davidjoshuaford Thank you. I will look at reconfiguring the most necessary buttons/actions to fit on a 15 button SD. By the time I get that all figured out, you probably will have released your adaptation. haha. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you (including your take at what a 15 button layout would look like) 👍
@@soundofmind3033 I've started tinkering with a 15 version. It's kinda fun because it's an editing-down process rather than building-up.
@@davidjoshuaford You rock. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Expecting delivery by the end of the day. 😂
This is an incredible video series, thank you so much for putting this together! Hi David I signed up for the mailing list to get the presets but nothing arrived. I also checked the junk folders but not there either. Any ideas?
Hi Alex, thanks for checking out the profile. Mailchimp's server seems to lose a couple of emails - not sure why. Shoot me a note via my website's contact email and I'll sort you out directly. Thanks!
@@davidjoshuaford already emailed this morning however, true to the nature of the universe, as soon as I did the email showed up so all good thank you!
@@jiveaces Excellent! Glad to hear
HI David, I was very excited to give this a try, but maybe the installation has changed in the past year? I cannot get the Stream Deck XL to preview the buttons. The restore from backup does not work at all, as the sample file has an ending of "companionconfig" and not streamDeckProfilesBackup. I downloaded the 14 day trail and wanted to take it out for spin first. After I saw the first video I was so exited that I almost ordered, but when I stepped through the video, nothing worked. I also looked at your on-line instructions which are very different from this video. It got me part of the way there. Are there updated instructions? Is the latest version of Companion incompatible? Or maybe I'm a dud!
Hi Paul, thanks for the detailed question. The free profile works in Companion, not in Elgato’s Stream Deck software. Have you tried downloading Companion from bitfocus.io?
Great Information. Is it possible to trigger (run) a specific ATEM Software Control macro on my ATEM Television Studio HD?
Yep! All the ATEMs are very similar in how they interpret Companion.
Hi David, this is great.
I'm just setting up with a streamdeck XL and an Atem Extreme.
Am i correct to experience some problems with the Extreme? It all shows connected... but the buttons dont all seem to work?
This was built for ATEM Mini Pro/ISO models, so only inputs 1-4 have been programmed. But it will work with the Extreme at least 1-4. There's an Extreme/ISO setting in the ATEM module within Companion you can switch it over to. Also make sure the Target IP is hitting the same address as what's listed in the ATEM Setup.
@@davidjoshuaford Thank you for your fast reply!
I checked IP adresses etc. and it shoudl be allright.
Some functions work, but a lot seem to missfire.
Did you have the option to check with an extreme already?
Otherwise Ill try a complete clean install of all the software
Thanks again!
@@digitaleexpressie560 I have and it works. Check the OSC module is set to either local 127.0.0.1 or your computer IP.
I can't seem to get any timecode from VLC, great tutorial and set up, thanks so much
Are you running Companion 2.2.0?
@@davidjoshuaford hiya and yes
Dave great stuff bud, .? How do u do the load h2r in windows using the Vicreo listener, I have a shortcut but theres no instance for windows command... 1:09 am. Can’t figure it lol
Sorry mate, I only know Mac!
@@davidjoshuaford np David uve given more n4 n your videos than most people do all year, its always 2 ways to skin a cat.... thanks
I’m about to order a 32 key stream deck, but I have one question before I do. I have both Mac and PC that the unit would communicate with. Is this OK?
Yes, a PC, Mac, or even Raspberry Pi will work!
Hi David THANKS for such a great video!! I am following the steps sooo faithfully....however got kind of stuck at 11:20.....the macros are not appearing on my stream deck!! I can see the macros on my ATEM Mini Pro as well as all the imported media player images (eg Nook Background) etc....but not on stream deck. Any advice will be much appreciated! Thanks again
Managed to fix the problem. Thanks anyway!
Hi Shahul, what was the solution in the end?
@@drshahulhameed how did you fixed it? I have the same problem
Only one comment - WOW!
But I have two questions.
1) Am I correct in thinking I do not actually need a Stream Deck? I can actually do this all through the emulator on a touch screen device?
2)Is there anything in this that wont work with the Mini Pro? You mention for example the record button wont work on the Mini.
It was built using a Mini Pro ISO, so everything will work for the Mini Pro as well. And correct- you don’t actually need a stream deck. You can run the emulator on a computer browser. Best results are on the computer- for instance, sometimes long-pressing an iPad web browser will bring up the contextual menu instead, but a computer click is flawless.
Mr. David, I have been trying to down load Companion software, but my computer will not let me! It says companion.app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Do you know of a work around? Thanks, RHQ
If you're on a Mac, right click and choose Open. (Windows...I don't know!)
You show the multi view of the ATEM on a tablet @1:22. What app allows this? Thank you.
Hi Mike, I have a Teradek Cube 755. It encodes an HDMI or SDI video signal into H.264 or H.265 so you can view it on a laptop or tablet. I'm hesitant to recommend it though, as it runs $2000-3000 and I find it finicky and some of the apps suck. Not too bad on iOS. I have a love/hate relationship with Teradek... The best device I'd recommend is the Teradek Bolt series, as there's no latency and the signal is generally more reliable/ less dropouts (note that the Cube and Bolt are completely different tech). I also have an Accsoon gen 1 which was amazing for the money, but I didn't want to have to run devices on a separate wifi network so it sits in the bag and only comes out if I want a super low-profile monitoring device to travel with as back up but will unlikely use... There's a gen 2 Accsoon Cineyes you could check out. Also I know a lot of people like the Hollyland Mars series, but I haven't tried it. The other thing I do is use a CamLink4K to feed the Multiview into the computer to view locally or send over Zoom. It's simple and effective at what it does.
@@davidjoshuaford Ok. Thank you for the reply. That is certainly outside of the budget, but I wanted to make sure I was not missing something out-of-the-box.
hi david update on my setup, my companion is not showing colour feedback such as red colour, green colour when im switching my atem mini pro using companion 32 button. the problem just arised this week once I updated streamdeck app, I think thats what happen. help please. i like to see the colours on the 32button streamdeck reflect when I press the button. thank you
Hi Roto, if the colors aren't showing, it's probably in the network settings. Ensure the IP in the ATEM module matches the static IP in the ATEM Software for the ATEM hardware itself.
Thank you
I am with you until I restore your full profile backup. I install it but I dont' get all those profiles that come up for you. Any tips?
Are you referring to the Companion profile or the native Stream Deck profiles? What version of Companion are you running?
@@davidjoshuaford Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm not seeing the profiles in the Stream Deck program on my PC--I just see ATEM, Chrome, Home, Resolve, Settings and Zoom. I'm on Companion v2.1.2
@@singingzoo You need to run Companion 2.2.0 (see 01:55 of this video). And you'll need to install the Companion Plugin within the native Elgato Stream Deck app (see 05:08).
@@davidjoshuaford Thanks. What you have created is amazing and I hope I can make it work. Most of these tools are new to me so it's a lot to absorb in a short amount of time.
@@singingzoo You're welcome! You got this - just takes a little time to work though various settings. This "INSTALL" video should contain all the instructions you need, so watch through it again.
Hey! I've tried signing up to the mailing list and it doesn't seem to send me any emails!? I'll wait a week and see how i go however.
Send me an email (it's on my website) and I'll sort you out!
Hi!! Does anyone know if all these softwares will run on a M1 mac?
I haven't tested on M1, but I believe they should.
when I run your profile in companion as a restore backup, it just goes back to the welcome button I get when I first turned on my streamdeck. When I do everything in companion I get absolutely zero of your buttons when I import the files. I need some help. I've gone through the pdf also
Hi Rocco - sounds like you're just missing one step - need to update the Home Page under Surfaces > Settings, and move the slider to page 66 for the ATEM Mini Pro profile. That way the Stream Deck will automatically boot to the home page switcher. There's full installation instructions here: davidjoshuaford.com/production/companion-install/ Email me if you get stuck! :)
@@davidjoshuaford got it! Thank you so much!
@@davidjoshuaford so it's loaded but only a quarter of the buttons are showing up. On the atem when I load your macros and everything I only get the first half of the media pool and it's loaded on the second half of the page. I have gone through this over and over but from the beginning it's felt like somethings off. I'd love to hop on a zoom and figure this out if possible. I'm using this for my broadcast program I teach at a high school and I need to start using it and stop spending so much time trying to make it work. I'm new to companion so I'm probably doing something wrong that's super basic.
Hi, Whats the minimun configuration for PC for all that tô work on?!
I'm mostly familiar with Macs, but...I do also run it on a Raspberry Pi 4, so most Windows computers should handle it. The Companion server is not super intensive.
@@davidjoshuaford Can I Run all those softwares on the raspberry pi 4?!?!?!
If the IP address for the ATEM is presented to Vicreo, why does the status in Companion show it is connecting. Log say it’s a TCP error. Similarly, VLC shows and error status despite using the settings in the video. Awesome work. Thank you
The settings in the video are specific to my router/network - you'll have to update them to your computer's and ATEM's own IP address. If VICREO is showing error, is usually because it hasn't been opened. Also VICREO's IP is set to your computer's IP.
@@davidjoshuaford the VICREO fix worked thank you (LANScan is a useful tool to help identify the IP address of all devices on a network). VLC is still not working despite the 127.0.0.1 8080 settings in Companion. Ideas? Almost there :)
Error message is 10:02:01 instance(vlc): connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080
Click the Info button next to the VLC instance in Companion and you’ll see the setup instructions for lua password.
@@davidjoshuaford green lights across the board. Amazing. Thanks for your help. 🚀
Looking for the companion download and i can't find the build that you downloaded
On the bitfocus.io website, you need to make an account and then Beta Builds bitfocus.io/companion/download/builds/
@@davidjoshuaford i have an account n I'm able to look they the beta builds but i only see the bmd hyperdeck n others i don't see bmd atem
the macros do not appear - what shall I do?
Can you tell me more about your install process? Have you restored macros via the ATEM software?
@@davidjoshuaford unfortunately, the atem-software or the atem do not connect to the network. i am not sure how to fix that. the macros are shown on the atem software (if I connect it with the usb) but they are not reflected on the stream deck via companion.
Tried to get support via mail and you didn’t reply
Hi there, I don't see your email in my inbox - feel free to ask a question here or dm me.
i'm so lost
Hi David, there are written instructions for step-by-stem available here: davidjoshuaford.com/production/companion-install/ I got your email - let me know if you can't get it sorted.
@@davidjoshuaford, i guess i was just having a bad day. i Got it running and am not disappointed. Thank you for your quick reply, your help, and your great skills and knowledge.
Just a warning! Importing the full backup for Stream Deck profiles will erase ALL the configurations of ALL your Stream decks. So if you click on restore and have more than one Stream Deck... your configuration is gone. Don't ask me how I learned this ... :_(
Eeek!! Yes! Make sure you back up first! Sorry to hear that :(
@@davidjoshuaford no problem! The interface of Stream Deck program is not really clear on this regard. It makes you select one of your devices, but then backup/restores work on all settings and all devices.
@@LaHoraMaker Have you also found that when importing profiles, the SD doesn't always remember the correct profiles to jump to that had been assigned to buttons?
@@davidjoshuaford yes, I had to manually toggle some of the "Change profile" buttons to work as expected. Indeed, I just wondered on Profiles vs Folders to organize contents. For example, I created a custom group to control my lights. Should it be a profile? Should it be a folder? I am still not conviced on what is the best option for grouping.
With folders you get for free the "Up to previous level button". I need to experiment more with your setup to figure out the best option :)
@@davidjoshuaford As I was preparing another group, I just realized that once you import the whole backup, most of the profiles remap the "Switch to profile" to the ATEM profile. That was what confused me the most yesterday.
As you switch profiles, you need to remap the common profile switcher area in every single profile to the correct one. In my case, even the home button was taking me to the ATEM profile!
