Hi vMix,

Currently the API includes functions such as MoveMultiViewOverlay, MultiViewOverlay, MultiViewOverlayOff, and more functions, regarding manipulating multiview input layers.

I see the names of these functions changed, especially replacing Overlay with Layer in the function names, due to the fact that I find the concept 'overlay' undesirable in this context, since it can be interpreted at first sight as a regular overlay, and 'layer' more appropriate, since it is more unique, since it is more or less only used in multiview inputs (and also virtual sets).

Code:
MoveMultiViewOverlay -> MoveMultiViewLayer
MultiViewOverlay -> MultiViewLayer
MultiViewOverlayOff -> MultiViewLayerOff
MultiViewOverlayOn -> MultiViewLayerOn
SetMultiViewOverlay -> SetMultiViewLayer


This will ensure that users of shortcuts and the API can understand the context more easily.

Thanks

Jens
