It would be very helpful to see the status of the overlays. It can be a bit of a hunt to
find whats on and get to it quickly, especially when using categories.
Here's my wishlist expanding on whats been proposed. Ideally I would like this under the
T bar as I use a big screen, it could disappear when the screen is too small, but how about
the concept of mapping `control' input function(s) and the user could decide whether they need it
and where it goes, even in a category.
This would allow a ticker `control' input and screen space for future developments.
The top row displays the input number assigned to that overlay. Clicking one would put the source
on preview. Right clicking brings up an input selection list to define a source for that overlay.
The red middle row shows the overlay tally status and clicking these would directly toggle that overlay.
Right clicking could drop all overlays or turn one on and drop the others as a user preference.
One thing that traditonal mixers can do is transition the background and/or overlays on or off
in any combination. I haven't found an easy work around for this other than setting up 31 shortcut
keys ?
The bottom green row selects the `next' transition combination. B or background only is what we have
now. The selections in the image would, when a transition button is clicked -
Do a Background transition, turn Overlay 1 on, turn Overlay 4 off leaving 2 and 3 as is.
The down arrow simply copies the red row to the green for faster setup of the next row.
Category assignment would make a `control' category possible.
