I do woodworking demos...

I would like to put a title overlay on my presenter camera for when my demonstration starts. I know I can put the title on a layer and a trigger to remove it after 20 seconds.
is it possible to only display that layer (title) the 1st time that camera is selected during a demonstration? I really don't need my name coming up every time I go to the front camera :)

Thanks is advance for your advice

Just do it manually, sometimes going for automation makes things more complex than they really are...

OR

create a virtual input of your presenter's camera, set your overlay on it and only use this input the first time

OR

you can use your title as a layer in a multiview for the presenter's cam and use the "MultiViewOverlay" command to make it disappear as long as you do not toggle it on again

are you saying that if you put the title on a layer in your camera input and have a trigger that toggles it off after 30 seconds....it will stay off even if you move to another input and come back to the 1st? That would work for me.
