Ok, the checkbox control seems like a good idea.
The reason I was thinking of using the Video switch is that the finalized project is going to be used for a tv show on a weekly basis by more or less inexperienced After Effects users, ie. the video editors of the show. I’m trying to prepare the project so that it’s going to be very simple to add or remove pre-animated objects to the graphics by simple toggle switches. And the Video switch with its eye-symbol couldn’t be more clearer to use.
