Quick question from a newbie: Can I remove unnecessary overlays when zooming into one specific overlay?

Here is my setup

- I have a camera feed on input 1 for the talent.
- I have a powerpoint slide deck in overlay 1, configured as a picture-in-picture.
- I have a lower-thirds title in the scene as well as overlay 2.

When I zoom into the powerpoint slide deck, the lower-thirds title remains and I would like to have that cleared out on zoom in and returned on zoom out.

I've been using triggers to manage the scene, to ensure that the right content is projected and I've created some shortcuts to help drive my content. But it seems that I may have reached the limitation (or my limitation) of what I can do with triggers and shortcuts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

I discovered multiviews, which helps in some situations. Except that I can't seem to figure out how to zoom in on one of the inputs in the Input Multi View.

I have also discovered that the last overlay, like overlay 4, will cover overlay 3, 2, and 1. So no need to clear the scene. Seems like all I have to do is configure overlay 4 to present my slides in PiP.

If any of you can let me know how to zoom in and out for any of the inputs in an Input Multi View, that would be awesome.

Thanks

That is excellent!

However, when using a PowerPoint slide deck in an Input Multi View, it seems to start playing through the slides as soon as I transition to that IMV. I have checked the actual settings on the PowerPoint Input and they are set to:

- Automatically Play with Transition: UNCHECKED
- Automatically Restart with Transition: UNCHECKED
- Automatically Pause after Transition: CHECKED

Do IMVs have different settings for PowerPoint slides?

By the way, thanks for the tip on using "Merge" to zoom in and out again. That worked perfectly.

My instinct to find the settings was to click the cog wheel on the input as oppose to right-clicking in the input window to pull up the "SlideShow Settings".

Nonetheless, I'm all set. Thanks very much for the help.
