Automated Video Opacity Adjustment

[exelbonsai]

Hello everyone.

Weekend time is for experimenting.

I hope you understand what I mean, as I'm not really familiar with the basics of Avenue. My language is German, and the software is set up accordingly. I've often noticed that Google Translate sometimes produces nonsense. English isn't my strong suit.

I've added numerous cameras to Layer 5, which all alternate randomly.

Of course, the Video Opacity adjustment on Layer 5 must be set to 100%.

Now, I've added numerous effects to Layer 3, and these are linked to Layer 5 as inputs.

However, these effects are independent and look best when the Video Opacity adjustment on Layer 5 is set to zero.

My question is: Is there a way to automate this as soon as I activate an effect on Layer 3?

Conversely, what's almost more important to me is that dark cameras don't work well for streaming, and I want to automate Avenue as much as possible.

Perhaps there's a macro command for the Akai APC40 MKII or for Companion in conjunction with the Streamdeck to adjust the video fader accordingly. With the Akai, it's obviously quick, but I've also forgotten to increase the video fader again, and I don't constantly check the monitors.

I'd move my effects layer above the camera layer. That way, you don't have to touch the cameras, when doing effects.
