I have an idea: could a timer be displayed when using an overlay to show how much time is remaining if it's an animation or video file?

For example, I have a transparent background with a video file that includes audio. I’d like to see how much time is left for the video to finish playing, without having to use the preview window. I hope that makes sense. Essentially, when an overlay is selected, a timer would appear to indicate how long it has left before ending.

Until then, you can build your own solution either by scripting or bitfocus companion

Neither me. To learn the whole scripting procedure seems to me like a mountain higher than everest and im at 0 meters. Although i like to try things from here and there and many times i get the desired (or close to what i need to do) by trial and error things.
For the thing you say,i do this through bitfocus companion vmix module as i find it more easy than scripting.
There also exist a 3rd party app that does this thing https://forums.vmix.com/...on-Back-Timing-Reference
You can see the remaining data or in the external app or send it, inside vmix to a title file for the selected input or for a video that is active or preview. For any video input you do overlay,a way to do it,is to send the overlay videos in a mix input-->pgm or preview and then read the remaining time of this and write it to a title or your streamdeck/companion device button
