I would like to be able to add up to 20 layers per input. 10 is okay, but I do events where I have many logos that I need to toggle off and on and being able to load more into the input and toggle between them would be great. 10 is just not enough.

WHat about creating some GT titles where logos (images) are layered and turned on/off . considering using adatasource to switch to the logos you want to be visible . Of course dependent on their locations in the view but are a few posibilities

btw similar request has been made in this forum some years ago

well an idea (details) of a layout and what to change etc would be helpfull. position on the view are sort of important to find a good option. I have many logos that I need to toggle off and on and being able to load more into the input is kind of broad

I work for a broadcasting company that does racing events and we have many remote producers and film at many tracks. What I am wanting to do it make it so I can add all the track logos into the input as layers and do scripts and shortcuts to our stream decks do instead of them having to go to every input that uses the logo they can just click a button and it swap the track logo they are at for that event.

if i understand correctly: ( a visual is always easier) use a title and switch the logo using a datasource (row of data is per event). just need to seelct the correct row of the datasource.
One datasource, One title (no 20 layers needed)

The workaround is Nested Layers.

I have hit the 10 layer input ceiling a lot so I started breaking my content into sections to allow me to not hit that ceiling.

So if I need 16 things on screen I see if there is a natural break and use that.
If Not I figure out what is on top of what and then go that way.

What has helped me with this is Mix Input and Central Control.
I don't think I can explain easily how both help so I guess take my word for it?(Sorry I can't give more details with words on this)

Also I am working out bugs and kinks as we are in Pre-Production for our next season so this is a fluid answer as it has changed over the past 3 seasons as new features come out. A good example is Mix Input which did not exist when we started and does now.

I ended up using this:

Function=SetMultiViewOverlay&Input=My input&Value=1,My new overlay source input

in a script and did a page on my stream deck for the logos I wanted to use and it swaps out the logo in layer 1 for that input.
