Hi All, Hoping to get some advice with: Syncing Multiple Video Streams on OBS 26.1.2 Mac.
I have multiple video streams going into:
Macbook 15” 2015 2.8Ghz i7 Intel Iris Pro 1536mb
Video Streams: Macbook Webcam, VMPK on screen keyboard, iPhone OBS Camera App and iPad plugged in by USB 3.0
Video demo of current working set up (demoing the issue) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x1fEzhZD24
I have spent many hours figuring things out till this point so I’ve really done my best as a techie musician trying to create useful videos for my piano students.
In the video of how things currently look:
Problem 1) Video streams are out of sync, I can compensate with a delay filter but sometimes the sync changes thereby undoing anything. Is there a “proper” way of doing this, I don’t know if I’m making some mistakes with the frame rates?
Problem 2) iPhone Camera goes berserk every couple of seconds, freezing and pixelating.
I’ve gone as far as I think I can with problem solving… everything works super well with all the video feeds, and hotkeys, filters, effects… I’ve really spent hours/days on this. Just can’t seem to clean up these last issues, I believe its framerate or bitrate related. When I open internet I think it uses up more processing cores of my computer and the sync gets even worse, so when I am doing streams I close all other apps.
It might not be possible with the hardware I’ve got, but even just getting it “better” is good enough. The footage needs to be “useable” for my students to be able to follow.
I’m pretty sure a desktop PC would fix this, thats a dream goal some day… for now I’m working with what I’ve got! Its pretty good, just need to solve this latency.
I really appreciate any help with this issue, so far as to say I’d be willing to pay someone go onto a Zoom call with me to help see if I’ve missed anything. I know it can be a pain and this is “work” as far as I’m concerned, if someone is a specialist and can seriously help me with this I’d be happy to do that.
Or do you know if there are any OBS wizards who side hustle helping people like me fix their problems? As I said, happy to pay a reasonable fee if someone knows this software better than me
Thank you for any help you can share!
