Action Recorder

The Action Recorder lets you build up a list of actions on a button by performing operations directly on a connected device (such as changing inputs on a switcher) rather than adding each action manually.

note

Very few modules currently support the Action Recorder. Whether your connection supports it depends on the module — check the module's documentation or presets for guidance.

Using the Action Recorder

1. Open a button for editing and navigate to the Actions tab.
2. Click Start recording in the Action Recorder section.
3. Perform the operations on your device that you want to capture (for example, switch a source on an ATEM).
4. The corresponding actions will appear in the recorder list as Companion detects them.
5. Click Stop recording when done.
6. Review the recorded actions and click Save to apply them to the button, or Discard to cancel.

Notes

• Not all actions a module supports can be recorded; only operations the module explicitly reports back to Companion will appear.
• The recorder captures the state at the time of the operation. If you want to record a sequence with delays between steps, you may need to add internal: Wait actions manually after recording.
