ATEM Exporter is out now on the Mac App Store! 🥳

It simply listens to a Blackmagic ATEM switcher via Ethernet, and logs all the camera changes, then you can export out a Program Cut or Multicam FCPXML for Final Cut Pro for DaVinci Resolve.

There’s so much metadata in Final Cut Pro. This tool can add that info to any shots you want on your timeline.

Don’t worry, you can choose which fields are shown!

Not that I recommend grading in the GUI

But

If on Mac grading in the Resolve GUI for YouTube

1. In prefs, check “use Mac display profile”

2. In project settings under color management, set your output color space to Rec.709-A

3. On deliver page, leave Color Space and Gamma at “Same as Project”
