Triggers can be used to automate tasks when an Input either begins a transition (OnTransitionIn), begins a
transition out (OnTransitionOut) or when a video completes playback (OnCompletion)
OnOverlayIn and OnOverlayOut can also be used when an Input is used as an Overlay
An unlimited number of tasks can be added, with each task running in the order it appears in the list.
In the example above the Title 1 input is turned on as an overlay 1 second after the current input begins a
