What does Delay Do?

 

I am using a Delay to pause Video:

I thought this means: play the video, but pause 3 second in. But no, the Delay does noting here. The video will just play to the end, no pause.

How exactly does Delay work? what is the correct way to achieve my desired effect?

Hello,

Delay is used to delay the arrival of vectors. It is mainly used for delaying tracking data when arriving. It is measured in ms (milliseconds) or in frames if you turn on the Frames option.

If you want to delay a video signal, you should use the delayer module. 

Best regards,

Hi, Ahmed@Aximmetry

It seems like delayer only delay 60 frame, while I need a few more seconds.

Hello,

you can combine multiple Delayer modules. Simply drag the output of the first delayer to the 2nd one. You can repeat the process as many times as you want.

Best regards,

In that case, wouldn't a Hold (or specifically for Video a Holder) be more versatile?

AFAICT they act pretty much like a triggerable 'stillframe generator'.

Cheers.
