As mentioned in previous chapters, Event Presets are a powerful and flexible way to extend a Recording workflow. But it is not only possible to trigger single Events. Event Presets can be used to execute different tasks at once within one single Recording Event. For instance, an Event can trigger a recording on a dedicated Blackmagic Design HyperDeck, switch a source on an AJA KUMO , and execute a Bash or and an Apple Script. This chapter describes the steps to create such an Event.

The “ Start Recording” Recording Event executes all three parts of the Event Preset. It switches the Source to Destination “4” on the AJA KUMO Router, opens the ToolsOnAir webpage via the Apple Script code, and creates a text file on the Mac's Desktop.
