I was trying to find a way to have a title/lower third show for say 3 minutes, then disappear for 3 minutes, then reappear for 3 minutes, etc. I cannot seem to figure out a way to do this.

My camera is not in front of the computer running vmix so to have to look away to click the button is cumbersome to say the least.

Thanks,
...Thomas

@ thomaskloos

AFAIK, there is no prolonged "Automated Timing" of the Overlay channels per se, but depending on the nature of your production, you may be able to accomplish your goal with the "Playlist" feature.
Are you switching at all amongst multiple Inputs?
By the sounds of it I would say no if you have to look away to click buttons, in which case I would suggest setting up a Virtual Input of your main Input and apply the lower third within MultiView and then set-up a Playlist that switches between the two Inputs (Main and Virtual) every three minutes.
Any production more complex than that will require significant preparation and planning to do any type of "Automation" of this nature.
