Topic: Toggle Video Overlay On and Off with Keyboard Shortcut or Script?
I want to use VDJ to run Music Bingo. Sometime during the song chorus, I want to toggle the video overlay on to show the song title and artist, but then toggle it back off before the next song. I am also open to the idea of it automatically toggling on, say 75% of the way through the song clip I'm playing, and then auto toggle off before the next track in some sort of script if possible.

Perhaps choose one the Video Skins - plenty to choose from - and then use something like ..
setting 'videoSkin' 'for Live:Live' ? setting 'videoSkin' '' : setting 'videoSkin' 'for Live:Live'
to toggle between the "" (None) and the one you choose - in this case the "for Live:Live"
 
Seconded. Some of the title display skins have timers too, so they can be adjusted to appear/disappear to your liking, and they can be left running.
 
I got the keyboard key to turn off the skin but never turn it back on. I ended up taking one of the timed skins and making it show for just the last 20 seconds of my song clip, so that works for me. I didn't even know that was a thing before this thread, so thanks for the tip!
