Using Auto Dismiss With Assets

Auto Dismiss is a feature in Switcher Studio that allows assets to be automatically removed upon completion. Auto Dismiss works with overlay assets like timers, prerecorded videos, and non-looping animated text. Using Auto Dismiss makes it easy to run your production by minimizing the amount of manual tasks needed to manage assets.

Note: If you would like to control the amount of time assets like images, lower thirds, titles, logos, social and donation overlays, and looping animated text stay on screen before being removed, check out the Setting the Display Duration of Assets article.
