Eliminate Sync Delays: The Best Way to Sync Video Sources in OBS Studio

The delay between video cameras in your live stream can become really jarring — almost impossible to watch after just a very short period of time. Now, if you want to have multiple cameras visible on your stream at the same time, then it is critical to make sure that they are in sync, and with this method… You'll be able to do exactly that!

Thanks for your tips, Chris. I found them very helpful and the best what I saw so far. Do you know how the pros doing it? You mentioned the delay that could change from time to time. Do you know any plugins that will do it for you? Or do the pros use external clocks?

The quality in your video is very good!

Thanks very much for the great detail on sync delay. My challenge is not between different devices, but a delay between the video and audio output created by a single camlink 4k feed to OBS. In my case the audio is actually later than the video. I tried to use the audio sync offset, but found the timing can change frequently even though i have the same equipment setup for each instance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My problem is the camera is behind the movement i need to remove the delay not add it any ideas?

the problem that I'm having is OBS keep changing the Audio sync every time open/close OBS sometime is 0ms, -400ms, -600ms. I'm only using source game captured of OBS and the Motherboard audio to stream only gameplay with NVENC H.264 everything is 48 Khz on audio. My PC is pretty much capable for high end stream 2.5 Gig upload 13900k, 4090 and 64gb 6400Mhz ddr5 memory. Trying everthing to fix it nothing work any help would be appreciated.

Would it be possible to extend the delay to about 20 seconds and use it as a replay?

[neilattridge]

Great vid thanks. When using VDO.Ninja, there is no Async option in Filters / Audio or Video - does the mean it cannot be used when using Ninja to record your camera from your iPhone (14 pro). I am just getting probably less than 500ms delay from my overhead camera from hand move to screen capture. Thanks

no matter what number i put on the sync offset for audio nothing happens and i still have a delay

[zuvabell]

I had to put a 230 millisecond delay on my mic to match my cam. Is there a way to fix my cam delay so I don’t have to have one on my mic anymore?

[GrappyLover]

Hi, do anyone know what filter can I use if I want to delay video feed for 2minutes?

[IvanSDizon]

How about a topic a multi stream of two, having a guest, and I playing guitar and sing together with the guest in sync no delay? We encounter problem with this..

[FiT_Flaminio]

Here's my problem. I need to delay of 1 second (1000ms) a window capture from Discord. When i click on the filters of that window capture i only have a column on the left with "Effect Filters". I don't have the "Audio/Video Filters" column above as you show here, so i don't know where i find the "Video Delay (Async) filter.
