I've been very frustrated when I realized the ATEM ISO's davinci file is not a multicam timeline. Thank you for that video ! So many things to learn I had to pause and go back. This video is like a masterclass.
Thanks Josua, glad it was helpful. There is so much more potential for the default ISO project files (like retaining chroma keying, upstream keys, and supersource layouts!). Hopefully BMD continues to advance the ATEM capability through firmware updates.
My friend reversed engineered the resolve file that gets created and it’s super simple, there’s very little data that actually gets written… but I agree would love to see what can come out of this! And hopefully they will stop trying to force the cut page on us! :)
@@RyanSomerfield Yeah I've tried the cut page numerous times... in the end the full featured edit page can be just as "streamlined" if you know how to lay it out and stick to a workflow. I'd be curious to see what your friend created - is it some sort of script that he runs? BMD definitely needs to make the ISO project file full-featured.
@@davidjoshuaford Just wondering if you released the Part 2 (the music video you referenced in this video). I checked through the videos on your channel but didn't seem to see it.😉
@@davidjoshuaford I'm looking for part 2 also.. Part 1 was awesome. I'd like to get into multi cam shooting of musical events, so part 2 will be really helpful.. thanks!
Hi David! Thank you so much for sharing this in detail. This is very helpful to understand how to effectively handle such large project and stay organized. I'm doing multi-hour event recording(s) with 12-14 cam simultaneous angles from time to time. Although these cams have no timecode, external syncing via Syncalia works very well. Was cutting in Vegas in the past years but found that Davici is much more powerful (now) and especially gives me much more tools to color match all the various cameras (which was my key issue in the past). I just did successfully my first 14 cam project in Davinci and after watching this tutorial I can do next project much more efficient and organized. Best, Thomas.
Congratulations on your project! Having the best color grading tools within the same app and not needing to online/relink a project was one of my main considerations when I moved to Davinci years ago
Hi Wally, I have the $8/month annual plan, so that the drives only have to be connected at least once a year, rather than every month (the $6/m plan). Sounds like you're familiar with it, but for those who aren't, Backblaze only Syncs to 1 computer, but you can associate unlimited external hard drives to that computer. Hence, I have a computer that runs Carbon Copy Cloner to create the local backup from the "A" disk to the "B" disk, and then only let Backblaze "see" the "A" disk to back up (not the "B" drive). After a shoot, I simply connect the drives to the computer, and this all happens automatically. The main caveat is that Backblaze will generally take a long time, hence leaving the computer uploading overnight until it finishes. Any questions about this process?
Hi Elliot, glad you found the tutorial workflow helpful! The monitor is this one: amzn.to/3icSTn1 Although, I would not recommend this one specifically, as it is way too saturated, especially the reds are really blocky. I use it only for extended desktop menus etc, not for color accuracy. But the USBC form factor is great for travel, so I'd recommend researching to find a similar design.
I’m NEW , just purchased an ATEM Mini Pro ISO. For multicam purposes. I have audio from digital console all mixed ready to go , so I send it to each cam so it’s able to sync audio/video from each cam . So is there ANYBODY out there I can send files to so somebody can edit for me until I learn it properly ? Thanks.
Great job David! Looks great!! I would love to see a tutorial using the cuts from the iso resolve file, for me a use case would be doing a cut on the iso then syncing files that aren’t Braw. Essentially trying to converting the file that is made in the iso to a multi cam and being able to adjust the sync on the non synced clips… but not sure if that’s actually possible :/
It would be neat to use the ISO as a proxy recorder, and palm that project straight off to an editor, and then after the edit is locked in HD, bring in the camera originals to conform to 4K...you're talking specifically about using non-BMD cameras? I wonder if we could get TC out of the ATEM (without using Tentacle Sync) to jam the 3rd party cameras... And then yes - the proxies could be swapped for the originals, though it would be neat if BMD automated some of that process in the original project file rather than having to do it manually each time. Let's look into it!
@@davidjoshuaford please let me know if you have a video tackling this. Really just trying to figure out how to use the ATEM to get my stream and program cut and then replace things with my original 4K files. Need the 4K for repurposing to social media as there is the aspect ratio crop.
Man this is a great tutorial! Too bad it doesn’t seem like the ATEM Mini Pro ISO makes a multi-cam sequence. I rented it for a project thinking that’s what it would do and now I see I still have to get in and basically start from scratch when I was hoping I’d just have to clean up a few cuts here and there. 😢
The original project file that the ATEM records will open the clips on a timeline, they’re just not multicam clips. So you can slip and slide the edit points, but can’t change cam 1 to cam 3 for instance. Hence, try a combined process where you move the original timeline clips to V2, and place the multicam clip that you create as per this tutorial underneath. That way if you need to swap a clip, you can delete the V2 layer, and work with the V1 layer
Targeting Tracks 15 like you did and pasting in has NEVER worked for me. I've been using davinci since 2010 and have never seen that function actually work. How in the world?...
Did you generate it as a multicam clip and the right click to “Open in Timeline“? Remember this is not a standard timeline, so the audio and video tracks are directly linked.
Hi Marcin, interesting idea - I'd be open to it. This particular project was somewhere between 500GB and 1TB from memory, but I could perhaps make a smaller training version. Do you own any ISO models of the ATEMs? And what particular parts of the process would you be wanting to learn?
As someone completely new to this software, I found this very useful. A bit over my head, but I see the logic in it all. Thanks!

Wow, thank you for sharing this! Such a big help! Looking forward to part 2!
Glad it helps, Keento! I've shot part 2...just working on the edit for it next week..stay tuned :)

This is a deep video, I was lost after 5 Minutes but I know it's what I need to know. Great Stuff. Thank you.
I was also
Great video David
! Put some of us totally out as we did not understand most of the stuffs you did. keep up the good work. We are learning.
Thanks! Did you have follow up questions to any of the editing tips or workflow shown in this video?

This is awesome!

Hi. Thank you. Your videos are very well made and informative. Question…How do you manage backblaze wanting to “see” all the drives you’re backing up?
Hi Wally, I have the $8/month annual plan, so that the drives only have to be connected at least once a year, rather than every month (the $6/m plan).

Can we get sources and result files to train?
