Dear All,

I frequently use overlay video filter. Sometimes it is needed to 
dinamically hide/show the ovelaid video. (e.g during live streaming).
Currently the only possibility to hide the overlaid video is to position 
it to off site area of the visible region.
This patch creates a new, explicit property to controll hiding/showing 
the overlaid video.
'show' property may be an expression, similary to x and y.
The new 'show' property is controlable by command, also. So its value 
can be adjusted dinamically during live sessions by zmq filters.
To be compatible with existing stuff, its default value is "1".

Please review this patch and consider putting this patch into the 
official ffmpeg source tree.

Thank you in advance.


best regards,

Bela

explicit property to controll hiding/showing the overlaid video. 'show'
property may be an expression, similary to x and y. The new 'show'

Looks like a duplicate of the timeline editing feature, already
supported by overlay.

For others who may be curious:

See supported filters with:
ffmpeg -filters

Todo: Mention which filters support timeline in filters.texi.
