Adjusting the Play Delay Offset
Media Composer uses a combination of hardware to provide for full audio and video playback
capabilities.
With a camera or transcoder connected to your system, when you play a sequence in the Timeline
and the Composer (desktop) monitor plays back video and audio ahead of the camera or transcoder,
you can adjust this offset. Playback on the Composer monitor can be delayed by the number of
frames chosen as an offset so that the video and audio play simultaneously to the camera or
transcoder and the Composer monitor.
If you are using a Software Only system, you can use the Video Sync Delay for Remote Client
Milliseconds slider to add a delay, in milliseconds, that will apply to the display of video frames, the
blue bar, and audio meters on the desktop. This can be used to tighten up the A/V sync when Media
Composer is used in environments that impose a delay in the audio signal path outside of Media
Composer, by applying a compensating delay to the visual elements.
To adjust the play delay offset:
1. Select File > Settings.
The Settings list opens.
2. Click the Site tab, and double-click Desktop Play Delay.
The Desktop Play Delay dialog box opens.
3. Click the Desktop / Hardware Sync Delay Frames slider to increase or decrease the amount of
frame offset.
You might need to readjust the frames a few times to find the correct offset.
To adjust the Remote Client offset:
1. Select File > Settings.
The Settings list opens.
2. Click the Site tab, and double-click Desktop Play Delay.
The Desktop Play Delay dialog box opens.
3. Click the Video Sync Delay for Remote Client Milliseconds slider to increase or decrease the
offset in milliseconds.
The Video Sync Delay for Remote Client option is only applicable in software-only mode, and is
specifically designed to address delays that occur when running Media Composer remotely
through screen sharing applications.
When using attached video hardware (OpenIO or DX), this should be left at 0.
