There is a version of MixEffect available for download for Apple Silicon Macs. Doubtful that I will port it over to Intel Macs at the moment. There is no official support for M1 Macs, as there are some UI oddities that I haven't been able to fix. More information here: mixeffect.app/docs/compatibility#apple-silicon-macs

Awesome as always, Adam! This video uses, however, the Generic OSC module in Companion. In the latest Companion betas there's a specific MixEffect module (as you mentioned elsewhere). Awesome!! Now how would I setup my Streamdecks via Companion with this new module? Is there already another video that shows this?

Hey, Adam! I'm having some trouble getting companion to communicate with mix effect on my ipad. I have tried using both the mix effect preset in companion and the generic OSC and have confirmed the IP address of the ipad as the target IP during set up. The OSC port number also matches. The one thing I can think of is that when I launch companion, I can't launch the gui without selecting one of the options that appear in my drop down. These have different IPs, one being a local host, wireless, and other. Any thoughts?

It would be awesome to drag the favorites super courses from place 4 to 1. Also it would be great to change the super source camera presets without having to save it again.

@AdamTow

If you enable Show Box Sources, you will be able to tap a box followed by a preset. If you want to swap between two boxes, there's an option in the menu, you can use shortcuts, or you can use MixEffect's Companion/Stream Deck integration. What do you mean by changing the SuperSource camera presets without having to "same" it again?

@AdamTow

@@JoshKaufmanstuff So you'd want the presets to save automatically whenever you make a change? Unfortunately, the way the SuperSource Visual Editor is set up, it's designed more of as a workspace for how the SuperSource is being displayed in real-time, rather than as an editing box for the current SuperSource. If I were to create a dedicated SuperSource Preset Editor, adding the auto-saving would be do-able.

Hey Adam, can you show me how to add a background color so I know which supersource is in use?

@AdamTow

You can use the feedback system in Companion and the MixEffect module to see which source is on program or preview and update the color of the button accordingly. Look for the "me: Program" or "me: Preview" feedback options in the Feedbacks tab for a button.

Super excited about this. Thank you so much Adam! Should I be concerned about having to reset IPs if they're not static?

@AdamTow

Statics are always more reliable. But if it changes, make sure you have ATEM Setup handy so you can get the current IP address. A future version of MixEffect might support querying the network for ATEMs but I don’t support it at the moment.

hello Adam I really inspired your video clips. i have a question! I'm using 8K Constelleation so how can i insert the path for Supersource ? In my case have 2 supersorce (SSRC1 and SSRC2) Could u advice to me what i have to do ? and also can I change border value per super source preset ??? it that possible ?

@AdamTow

3 жыл бұрын

no way to change SSRC border using MixEffect Companion support at the moment. you might be able to do this with the ATEM companion module or via Shortcuts and MixEffect. You use multiple arguments in Companion. the first string is the name of the preset and the second string is the SSRC ID. for instance: Path: /mixeffect/SSRC/preset Arguments: “Four Grid” “2”

In that case, I would recommend using an Ethernet dongle with your iOS device. If you are on a Lightning-equipped iPhone or iPad, the Lightning to USB-3 cable + a USB Ethernet adapter. If you have a USB-C equipped iPad, get a USB-C hub with an Ethernet port or a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. The other alternative is to provide your own wireless router that connects the ATEM, Mac/PC, and your iOS devices to the work’s network.

Can you trigger a shortcut on the iPad to run the more complex actions using the stream deck?

Stream Deck requires a computer to control it, using Elgato's Stream Deck software or Bitfocus Companion. MixEffect cannot control a Stream Deck natively, but it can be controlled by a Stream Deck (running Companion).

Hi Adam. This might be a stupid question, but is the Stream Deck connected to the Network via Ethernet or is it connected to computer by USB connection?!!!! Because I have done all the things you have shown here, but can't get the right result!

Are you referring to the SuperSource Presets? First, make sure you have an ATEM that supports SuperSource like an ATEM Mini Extreme, Mini Extreme ISO, SDI Extreme ISO, 2 M/E Production Studio 4K, 2 M/E Constellation HD, 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K, 4 M/E Constellation HD, or Constellation 8K. If you have one of these ATEM, and the presets aren’t appearing, go to MixEffect Settings > Reset > Reset Presets.

I can't seem to get this to work. I have the latest build of Companion, the latest version of MixEffect Pro, the latest iOS version (16.1.1) and a Stream Deck XL. I have enabled OSC Server in MixEffect Pro and I am able to successfully set up a connection (green OK) to mixeffect (Adam Tow) in Companion. I have double-checked that the ports match up between MixEffect Pro and Companion. I have tried adding a bunch of different buttons with mixeffect actions but nothing seems to work. When I press a button on the stream deck, am I supposed to see MixEffect Pro on the iPad change accordingly? I am assuming yes, but nothing is changing in MixEffect Pro on the iPad and therefore nothing is changing on the ATEM mini extreme ISO. Maybe something broke in iOS 16? For whatever it is worth, I just bought MixEffect Pro and I am trying this for the first time. MixEffect Pro DOES control the ATEM, I just can't get the StreamDeck to control MixEffect Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
