ATEMdirector
If you podcast solo, you've hit this problem: switching cameras naturally based on who's talking requires a camera operator. And most lean, independent podcasters can't afford one.
I built ATEMdirector for that exact situation. It connects your Blackmagic ATEM Mini to your Stream Deck — so your most-used controls are one button press away. But the part I'm most excited about is the automatic camera switching: a feature that usually only comes with expensive broadcast setups. A script that listens to who's speaking and cuts to the right camera, with enough variables to make it feel considered rather than mechanical.
No fuss. Just talk.
