What's in the ISO Folder?
The record folder will take the name of the record palette. Even though this folder will
have multiple ISO files, it also has the main program recording. But when ISO recording,
it will be placed inside this folder with the other items.
The ISO video files are recorded from each input and placed into a sub folder called
Video ISO Files. Each video file is recorded from each input and is an exact recording
of the video connected to that specific HDMI input. The ISO files also have synced
timecode and camera number metadata, so you can use any edit software's multi-cam
feature. To make editing simpler, all ISO files have program audio, the same as the
master video file.
Because the ISO files include camera number metadata and synced timecode, you can
also use the DaVinci Resolve Sync Bin to quickly select between views and
build an edit.
It's worth noting that if you use any graphic from the media pool, these will be
automatically saved into a sub folder called Media Files that's located inside the
Video ISO Files folder. This allows you to rebuild the titles in your edit that were used
during your live program.
Audio input files from each input as well as the microphone inputs are also recorded.
These are placed into a sub folder called Audio Source Files. These files are in
broadcast WAV format and are professional stereo audio files that exclude any
processing or EQ from the built in ATEM Mini audio mixer.
So this means the files are clean and you can use them to create a whole new audio
mix using professional audio software. The audio tiles also include timecode so they
are synchronized to the video files.
The most exciting item to be saved into the project folder is the DaVinci Resolve project
file. This file will have been built based on the switcher actions that occurred since you
started recording. It currently allows several switcher functions to be recorded and then
when you double click this file, it will open up DaVinci Resolve with a full timeline of all
these edits.
ATEM switcher functions that are currently supported include cut and mix edits
between all video inputs and the media player, downstream titles and fade to black.
These are the most used functions and these will be restored as the video edit in
DaVinci Resolve. Further functions will be added in future updates.
Append Recording
If you don't change the project name, when you record, it will append the edit to the DaVinci
Resolve project file you have previously recorded on disk. This is very useful as it means you
can stop for mistakes, or lunch, and then start recording again. Both recordings will then open
into the same timeline and you can knit the recordings together so they appear seamless to the
viewer. If you don't want to append record, be sure to change the project name, or use a new
blank USB disk.
