MixEffect supports listing the names of your stills, clips, and audio clips in the Media Pool of your ATEM switcher.
As of MixEffect 2.2.0, the view of Stills in the Media section can be toggled between a Grid and List mode. To change the view style:
Go to the Media section.
Tap the icon next to the plus button in the upper-right.
Choose between Grid and List view styles.
Optionally, you can choose to display unused still slots or to hide them.
You can set the current still or clip in your Media Players by performing one of the following actions:
Long-press on a media item and choose the Set option for the desired media player.
For stills, tap on a still list item and tap the Set button for the desired media player.
From the Switcher view, long press on a media players space button and choose the clip or still that you want to use from the action sheet.
Press Command-Plus or Command-Minus to go to the next or previous still/clip.
If you have Loop Stills and Clips in Media Player toggle enabled in MixEffect's User Interface settings, press the next still/clip keyboard shortcut while on the last still/clip will select the first item. Conversely, if you press the previous still/clip keyboard shortcut on the first still/clip will select the last item.
At the top of the Media section will be a camera icon. On supported ATEM switchers, tap this to take a capture of what's on Program and save it to the first open slot in your Media Pool.
This button is only available if your switcher:
Supports saving a photo from the Program output to the switcher
There is an empty still slot in your Media Pool. If all slots are being used, the button will be grayed out and disabled.
Previous versions of MixEffect featured a blue capture button at the bottom of the Media section. The button has been moved to the upper-right.
MixEffect allows you to upload images as stills to the Media Pool from your Photo Library.
Tap the + button. You can also press Command-N on an external keyboard.
Select the photo you wish to upload.
Images will be resized to the same size as the Video Mode for the switcher. For the ATEM Mini line of switchers, your images will be resized to fit within a 1920x1080 box.
NOTE: Uploading of images has been tested on the ATEM Mini Pro set to 1080p. Testing has not been conducted on those ATEM switchers that support SD, 4K, or 8K resolutions.
In rare instances, the ATEM switcher cannot handle the uploaded image and reaches a state where you have to reboot the switcher (unplug and re-plug).
For this reason, it is highly recommended to upload images while using a hard-wired Ethernet connection to your switcher.
Because of this, an alert will appear each time you try to upload an image. Tap Don't Show Again to dismiss the warning in the future.
As of MixEffect 2.2.0, you can upload images with transparency and they will be added to the ATEM switcher correctly. Previous versions of MixEffect stripped out the alpha transparency from images.
You can also use drag and drop to upload images into media still slots. Dragging an image onto an still slot that is currently occupied will replace the image.
Tap on a still to bring up the Still detail page. Tap on Edit Name to change the name of the still.
NOTE: Still images seem to revert back to their original filename when a new controller (MixEffect, ATEM Software Control, etc.) connects to the switcher. It is possible this happens because the switcher is re-reading the file stored in its non-volatile memory.
Currently only the name of a still or clip is displayed in MixEffect.
If you have assigned a clip to a Media Player, you can play it back from the Media Players panel in the Switcher section.
