MACRO question

PostWed Jul 03, 2019 7:36 pm

Is it possible to write a macro that automatically cuts from camera to camera every minute without requiring a person sitting at the switcher?

I just want to film conference continuously with zero crew members, with three cameras pointing at a person standing stationery at a podium. Cutting from a close to a medium and a wide.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

It will only depend on what the maximum pause value in a macro is.
Macro can loop so in theory it can be done.
I have done it in the past using PowerShell script so that looping stats and stops at specific times, as well as triggering Hyperdeck record using a specific file name.

Thanks... being a complete and utter novice to Macros, where do I start learning how to do that?

Sure you don't want to get three of those "drinking birds" and just launch them in a certain phase, they can hit the source button and hope for the best?
