Hello everyone,
The other day, I updated our Broadcast 2M/E to the new 4M/E update. I restored our old show and started building some new macros to take advantage of the extra 2M/Es & 12 new keys that I now can use.
Today, when I fired the switcher on and restored my newly updated 4M/E show, two of my chroma keys (key 3 & 4 on M/E1, key 1 on M/E2 & M/E3 specifically) did not retain their chroma information. All of their new chroma adjustments were saved, but the actual hue of green that I had Sampled & then Previewed were not saved.
So I thought: simple, just build a macro that samples & previews the chroma info in Key 3 & 4 so that when you boot up the show, it'll refind the chroma values even if they aren't saved in the show.
Wrong.
The macro did not actually record me sampling & then previewing the chroma color for my M/E1 3rd & 4th key... And the save file of the show does not keep the value... So.
For the life of me I cannot get the ATEM to actually save the chroma value for any keys on any M/Es after a restart. This is pretty obnoxious, and I would rather not have to resample & repreview every single chroma key that I have before every show every day especially considering that every other aspect of the show & keys are saved in the show file. The newly updated chroma options are cool, but they pose as an overall negative if they take away the ability to actually hold chroma information after reboots... These chroma values should either be saved into the show file on the control computer or be able to be saved into a macro to be reloaded after a restart.
Has anyone else had this issue yet or know of a work around? I know it's a fresh new update and honestly I expected a couple of weird quirks like this. Other than that though, the new 4M/E update has more than doubled the power of the Broadcast switcher and makes it an UNBELIEVABLE value for the money.
