Macro that includes autofocus command won't restore

PostMon May 16, 2022 8:04 pm

I've been playing around with this for a while, and it seems that if the autofocus command is contained in a macro, it will not properly restore.

Ref: ATEM Mini Extreme software 8.7 (similar behavior with 8.6.4)
Use Scenario: I have a camera that starts up out of focus, and would like to add an autofocus command to my "presets" macro.

Data: I can record a macro with the autofocus command, and the macro will indeed send the autofocus command to the camera.
If I SaveAs my macros, then delete the autofocus macro, it will not restore from the XML file.
If I add the autofocus command to my "presets" macro, it will no longer update or restore from XML.
If I record a macro with a camera gain adjustment, and delete, it will restore.
If I add the gain adjustment command to my "presets" macro, it will restore.

Here is the code from a successful autofocus record and SaveAs (note: it still won't restore this macro)
<Macro index="2" name="autofocus" description="">
<Op id="CameraControlVoidBool" address="1" category="0" parameter="1" action="Set" values=""/>
<Op id="CameraControlVoidBool" address="2" category="0" parameter="1" action="Set" values=""/>
</Macro>

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Matt
