Would it be possible to be able to use a shortcut to overlay a title or graphics over a Mix 2 or more output? For me, this would be helpful for my Jumbotron output via Mix2 but not going out to my live stream recording on Output 1.

One can add layers to the Mix2 input and control its visibility with shortcuts.
One can also tell which overlays are not going out on a certain output

would that work?

As I tried this for myself: If you are going this route, you would have to assign "Output" to (say) "Output 2", use NDI to bring "Output 2" back in as an input, and send this input to Mix 2. Overlays won't show on Output 2 if you directly assign Mix 2 to Output 2.

I am in Pre-Production and not being able to Isolate the 4 Overlays and feeding them back in make that whole system useless. Meaning I can not use any overlays at all.

Why you might ask?

I am running an HD and VV vMix production on the same machine at the same time. Mix Inputs makes this work so so well.

If I could have the 4 overlays as an Output Input I could easily add them to both productions.

EDIT FOR CLARITY

The Overlays will only come out on the Primary Output and would be the wrong size for VV. So either correct for VV or correct for HD but not both. Make an Output Input of the overlays isolated and I can modify them to fit both productions.
