Hello,

Apologies if this is a fairly obvious thing and I'm missing it. I have an input (a directshow source) that I would like to delay by several seconds to sync with an RTMP input. RTMP, of course, has some natural delay with it, and I want to delay the directshow input, which is in realtime, to sync with the RTMP input. The sync doesn't have to be perfect - it probably can stand a second or two of tolerance.

I know vMix has the "Video Delay" feature, which I have used for instant replay with great effect. However, I can't seem to find a way to take a given input and apply a constant delay to it, either with the Video Delay input, or with another means. Perhaps I'm just missing something, or such a feature is impractical, but if it's possible, could someone let me know how to do it?

Thanks!

vMix also has a delay feature independent of the instant replay-style video delay inputs. Add a capture input, go to settings, advanced. There you may choose how many frames vMix will keep in a rotating buffer.

We use this for a profanity filter, but it could just as easily work for you to delay a video source to match another. Can I ask why you're using an RTMP input though? Seems like the lag would be a unpredictable value each time the RTMP connection was made upon loading of vMix, and rebuffering of that RTMP input would mess up your sync.
