They can't figure out why they can't cut to another input. I spent some time searching for a way to do this - that is - turn off the overlay function for any given input. Or, would this be a feature request.

What I was looking for was a way to totally turn off the 1 2 3 4 selection so the overly for an input cannot be turned on at all.

You can't and that's the very nature - and the beauty - of vMix where any input can be used for anything. If you don't want this, just use another switcher with the DSK logic which is the traditional (and old fashioned and frustrating) way to do live production. Guillaume

This could work for situations where overlays are not needed at all. Otherwise, perhaps a feature request to add a check box under the General input settings to "turn off overlays for this input" may work if adding the code is not to difficult.
