Animated SuperSource Transitions Using Macros

hey everyone today we're going to look at animated transitions in a super source yes i said a super source so let's get right into it pull up my super source here got a nice little lower third going and let's get right into it with a two box right so you see one box full screen let's go to our two box here so now we have our two box let's just kind of jump between things right we have one box we can go back to a two box to a three box four box right um and kind of go anywhere in between if i want to get to the three and then back to the one we've set all of that up uh there's other looks you might want to get to as well you know we might want to do a two box here right and get rid of the lower third we can kind of just go between these and get a bunch of different looks sometimes you don't always want uh you know a full screen box though right sometimes you want to have a cropped box with let's say an animated background so that can look like this right and then from there we can do other transitions as well so we still have our two box this is great for let's say a presentation on the side maybe you want to get some people coming in and you want to talk to them uh and finally we can just do more people right uh so there's our four box there so let's get into a little bit about how we can do this and and one note that i do want to touch on is that we are giving away all of these transitions for free okay we're giving them all away we're going to give you the companion file so you can set it up exactly like we have it here okay and if you see here i have all my buttons laid out they're nice and color coded and they allow me to get from any box look back to a one box or a two or three box as well so let's figure out exactly how we made this possible i'll switch my camera here to my atem software so this is all being controlled by just macros right and that's not just macros that is macros only on the atem software we're not using any third-party plug-ins or third-party software or anything like that to do this and to prove that they're all macros right here so let me click on what are we in a 2 box let's go to a 201 box right here click on that flies away and a one to a two box bring it back in right we're just using the native macros on the atem switcher what we did is we basically wrote a bunch of code and we built this software that kind of pushes out the code for us so we don't have to do it for every single transition the code looks like this it's just straight code that lets us type in a starting position and an ending position a starting crop and an ending crop for all of the boxes and pushes out you know anywhere from two to five hundred lines of code depending on the transition uh the transition that you're seeing here is just for uh 18 frames which when we standardize on 30 frames a second means it's about two-thirds of a second so that's how we do that and it's code that you push in to the atem software it's really easy to basically import uh pre-built macros you know that are code you would just go up here to file you would click on restore select the file that you want to do and then you would go down here and make sure that macros is the one that's being clicked just the macros you don't want to import all of your other stuff and then you would finally click restore i clicked cancel because i don't want to do that right now and let's talk about how we put it on the companion software which got it onto our stream deck so let me go over here to companion right this is companion which basically opens up in a web browser and these are our buttons if i click on this button here you can see that it's just running a macro on the atem right and you can do this on any atem by the way anything with a super source you can do these animated transitions with the code is the same so you click through all of these nothing super fancy happening we're just running macros and we've just color coded and organized these buttons here so that's pretty much how we do it uh with macros and some code we can make any of these transitions and we're giving them away to you uh so feel free to click like and subscribe send us a message either via youtube or instagram um and we're happy to get you these files via email so um we have lots of more we have lot we have a lot more transitions than just these these are the ones that we usually use for our demos they're very impressive they're very well thought out and they can get you from pretty much any situation you're in either into it or out of it so that's why we're giving these ones away if we get a lot of people wanting more then we'll make another video we'll get you some more transitions or we can talk privately about it so that's it get back here to a one box nice and so that's pretty much everything you need to know uh if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us and uh see on the next one let's see how do i get out of here uh let's pull up maybe that guy perfect
