How do you apply a chromakey to a video overlay, and toggle/play it at runtime? #10535

Hi, I'm trying to apply a chromakey to a video overlay to a video. I need to able to play the overlay at runtime.

Overlay video (paused) -> ChromaKey -\
                                      +-> Overlaid video -> Time passes -> Unpause overlay video
Video -------------------------------/

I've seen it's possible to toggle at runtime by using transparency as seen here. I'm quite new to video filters, though I've read a bit of mpv & FFMPEG documentation regarding the subject, however I remain confused as how to apply them. Some pointers would be useful.

You can't pause playback on some input files and not others. You're better off generating this in advance and then just playing it back as a finished video.

That's going to be difficult if the video is a stream. But I'll take no for a answer and close this issue as it would seem to be unsupported.
