Topic: Automatic toggling of video feed

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I am trying to figure out a way to automatically toggle the video feed on and off. In other words...once a karaoke track( or video) ends and audio only is playing...I want my desktop to be shown without having to manually click the preview screen to shut off the video feed.
I've got it to the point where it displays nothing but a black background...but I want it off!
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank you

You want the desktop to be shown on the video output?
You can use the Screen Grab video effect for that
You can then try setting that as the VideoAudioOnlyVisualisation so it automatically takes over in case an audio-only track is played (I've done this with Shaders and Mildrop but I haven't tried it with the Screen Capture effect)

Probably you have some sort of a Logo Image on your Desktop you want to display when Audio tracks play (cant find any any other obvious reason wanting that)
If its just black/blank screen you want to display, then why isnt the "default" Video Output not good ? Its black on Audio Files, no ?

In this case, use SlideShow Effect as AudioOnlyVisualization and point to a folder where your Logo Image is (and only that) or any other image you want to display on the Video Output.
