So I have the ATEM TV production studio and three HD cameras.


I've figured out how to live switch them from one camera to another using the CONTROL, then the 1,2 and 3 key to cut live from one camera to the next.

However.. they are just cutting on my command... what I really want is a fade cross dissolve as I hit the keyboard shortcuts.

Is this possible?

I know i can hit the AUTO button and do it manually... but I really want to limit all my work to the keyboard shortcuts to keep it simple.

Thanks in advance!

Check out the manual for keyboard shortcuts. Enter is dissolve, and Space is cut.

Thanks for your quick response... I understand that enter is dissolve.

Unfortunately that does solve my issue.

I want to know if there is a way to switch direct to cameras 1,2 & 3 simply by hitting 1, 2 and 3 on the keyboard and have the software cut direct to that camera with a cross dissolve.

The way the enter key works as I understand is it dissolves to the camera you have pre-selected in your preview button... not directly to the camera on the fly.

I just need a quick one click solution to cut from any of my three cameras with a cross dissolve.

Thanks in advance!

I do this with an XKeys keypad attached to my ATEM laptop. It's really two keystrokes programmed into the Xkeys unit to fire one right after the other. The first keystroke places the next input in preview, the second keystroke is for the crossfade. Works great.

u can use JustMacros and program , what do U want .. with normal numpad .. but Xkey is nice tool .. I have it too

Apretas ctrl y despues se activa el numero del teclado.
