I feel like this should be straight forward- and I've got the first half down... but can't seem to get my lower-3rd back after going back to any other source.
The #4 button in the center panel lights up, but nothing is on the screen. I have to go back to the Lower-3rd input and fire it again from there.

Here's what I set in my triggers for the video file

Sorry, that didn't format very well- the way it did in the preview.

@themann00, you need your preview bus to be overlay?
I think it should look like:

I'm not entirely sure what the input field is for, so I left it as default. I might be going about this the wrong way...

My goal is to move from any of many potential live camera inputs with a lower 3rd to a pre-recorded video- and the lower-3rd disappears. When the video ends, I want to go back to any of the live cameras, and have the previous used lower-3rd restored.

To further complicate it, there are 5 different lower thirds used throughout the broadcast... So I can't easily plan for exactly which lower-3rd or which input will be used in each scenario.

Another way to think of it - I have 3 pre-recorded broll clips and a few full screen graphics I would like to pull up, and have it go ON TOP of any turned on overlays.

Is that an option somewhere?

I was looking at your trigger commands, but you will have to identify which overlay goes with which input....You only have a choice of 4 overlays, so if you have 3 cameras, just set the overlay trigger for each camera (overlay 1, overlay 2, overlay 3), but you will have to use the same camera shot each time, so as not to have the wrong overlay on....otherwise you will have to trigger the overlays manually....


**I'm not entirely sure what the input field is for, so I left it as default. I might be going about this the wrong way......** This is for you to select the input you want for the overlay. Where the word "Preview", click on the down arrow, and make your selection from the drop down menu....then click add...you can have as many triggers as you want, just know what you want to do...

NB: You only have a choice of 4 overlay channels, so you will have to trigger some manually....
