Question / Help Sync Problem

[krisdix]

Using the old version of OBS it was easy to sync my webcam, mic and gameplay all together. I now run OBS 0.11.1 Ican't find how to add a delay to the webcam and audio to match up to my hd pvr gameplay, The scene i use is

• Video Capture Device (HD PVR)
• Video Capture Device 1 (Webcam & Audio)
• Image

Thats it can you please tell me how to sync it up Thank's

Sync for video sources can be done via Filters.
Right-clic on the chosen source, then "Filters", "Audio/video filter" and add "Video Delay"

Hello,

I have used this to add a video delay, however my Elgato GameCapture HD runs behind my webcam and microphone, not ahead, and so adding a delay to the Elgato does not help but rather makes the sync issue worse. This field does not accept negative values. Is there another way to sync webcam/mic and game video/audio?

I could put delays on the webcam and microphone, however that will cause my webcam and microphone to run behind any PC games I try to play. Remembering to switch those filters and delays off is cumbersome to say the least. I know with some additional profile and scene collection management I could deal with it. I would just have to stop and restart my stream to switch over. Not in itself a deal-breaker, but... it's a bit yucky. So I'm hoping there's a simpler solution. :)

I've used the Elgato for over a year.

Unfortunately you can't "undelay" your Elgato. The only solution is delaying your webcam/audio or switch to a capture device with (near) zero delay. If you have a compatible USB 3.0 port the Livegamer Extreme works well. If you have a spare PCI Express slot in your pc, you can use a card-based solution like the Livegamer Live HD.

God do I sound like a representative for Avermedia lately. But I can't help it. I love my LGX :p

Any USB 2.0 device will have delay. Using such devices is unavoidable if you're on a laptop, but if you're on a desktop PC you should always get an internal PCI-E capture device or USB 3.0 capture device instead of USB 2.0 capture devices. That delay just makes it a configuration nightmare for live streaming.
