quick video sync-up issue(s)

I'm working on building up a 17-player, 16-monitor video-wall. The videos themselves start and end in black, and, due to a glitch in the process, when one of the video files got remade to fix a bug, it was the same 7:10:00 length, but its first active picture (non-black) was 5-frames ahead of the rest. It took some effort to diagnose what that offset was, and involved several passes on remaking the video to find the proper start-point.

Is there a way that in the BrightAuthor, under Advanced settings, perhaps, you could add a "delay" box that would delay the actual start of the video by ## frames?

Alternatively, and I have not had the time to research this, how long does it take to cue up and start a video? Could I have added a 5-frame video, or a several-second video, and had it media-time-out in 0.1668 (5 frames in a 29.97fps clock) seconds? Or would that have added.. more complexity in the process?

    There is no such setting in BA to delay the start of the video by ## frames. You can use the timeout event to connect a state with a video file you wish to play. The timeout value determines the delay in seconds. The recommendation is to optimize your content for sync playback.
