TriCaster Mini
Go Make Your Show Guide

When you record a macro, TriCaster Mini will record your actions as you perform them in the Live Desktop.
It will not record the state of the Live Desktop at the time you start recording the macro, as this could have
unintended consequences if you were to run the macro during your show. So, the first step to creating a
macro is to prepare the Live Desktop by putting it into a neutral state that won’t interfere with the macro
you have planned.
PREPARE THE LIVE DESKTOP
IMPORTANT: The time to create macros is not during your show. Practice and execution is what makes
amazing macros. So, take the time well ahead of your show to create, test and adjust your macros so
that they work exactly how you want them to.
