Controlling a Blackmagic ATEM with a MIDI Controller

In this video, we explore how to map various essential functions of a video switcher to the APC Mini Mk2, transforming it into a powerful control surface for your live production setup. We’ll cover a range of features, starting with the basics like assigning buttons to the switcher for cutting or transitioning between different sources. Next, we’ll dive into more advanced functions, including mapping the T-Bar to the APC Mini for smooth manual transitions, giving you hands-on control over your fades and wipes.

We’ll also walk you through setting up the audio faders, allowing you to control the volume levels of different audio inputs directly from the APC Mini Mk2. Beyond the basics, we’ll explore SuperSource box assignment, showing how you can map the buttons to quickly switch between different picture-in-picture layouts. This is especially useful for multi-camera setups or dynamic productions where multiple sources need to be shown simultaneously.

If you’re interested in streamlining your workflow or customizing your control surface, this video is packed with tips and tricks. We’ll even guide you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to assign these functions, so by the end, you’ll have a fully customized APC Mini Mk2 optimized for your specific needs.

Additionally, for those who want to skip the manual setup, we’ve included a link to the project file in the video description. You can download it and instantly implement the mappings we discuss, making it even easier to get started.
