Mini Pro Macros within a Macro

PostFri Jan 22, 2021 10:03 pm

I am setting up worship streaming with that includes a mini pro and stream deck running companion. I would like to build some modular macros, all called by a master macro. The mini pro manual says that I can record macros within macros but it doesn't seem to work. I have recorded a bunch of macros and edited the xml file to extend and modify them. I just don't know the xml file syntax to call a macro and when I try to record a macro that includes existing macros, it doesn't work. I am following the instructions in the user manual. The only reason I am trying is so that I can get the xml syntax.

Does this not work in the mini pro?

I understand saving short macros and I do edit and create new macros in xml. No problem. As I said, what I want to do is have a macro call another macro so I can build some fundamental blocks to string together in different combinations. I realize I can do that by building big monolithic macros and keep repeating the code, but if I change the behavior of one of the lower functions, then I have to go back to every section of code that includes that function and modify it.

All I want is the xml syntax to have a macro call a macro. I can't seem to get that by recording a macro that does that because I don't seem to be able to invoke a macro while I am recording a new one. The manual says that it should work fine. When I try, the macros I try to run, don't run and when I save the new one just recorded, there is a truncated macro line with its name in the xml file.

Am I missing something?

I got my answer after a few go-rounds with technical support.

There is no xml syntax for a macro to call another macro. If you record a macro with the ATEM and execute another macro in that sequence, the system drops the actual code from the executed macro into the xml stream.
