Hello,
I have the need of temporarily disable all active overlays during short video clips and when the clip completes reactivate the same overlays (with same inputs). To disable the overlays I use the OverlayInputAllOff function from the video clip OnTransitionIn trigger. So far so good but at completion I don't know what overlay to display nor what input to use (Specially during playlist control).

How can I reactivate only the previosly active overlays and Inputs?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Jan

Sound to me one will have to dig into using dynamicinputs or some scripting depending if you know beforehand which inputs will be used in the overlays or not

Thanks for your swift reply.
I guess your right but not the answer I hoped for. Scripting is propably the only way forward but with limited knowledge in scripting a OverlayInputRecentOn-function would have suited me better.

Sort of agree with the OverlayInputRecentOn-function but then again multiple option might want to be demanded for each individual to use

One could also think about having these overlays in a multiview and overlay on/off that one only

as mentioned before if one knows the exact inputs to be overlayed on/off , the simple trigger for each individual one would suffice

if the inputs used are not constant one would need to check which were active on turning off before turning them on again

in a script before turning off one can check which are on , put these in the dynamicInput as variable and when it needs to be turned on just use the dynamic inputs to do so

At least you would be able to do what you which

Thanks for guidance. Just have to figure out how to write the script to populate the dynamic inputs. I'll give it a try.
