Secondary Video Feed
The Secondary Video Feed is an overlay widget that adds a second live video source into your recording and program output as a picture-in-picture (PiP). Use it for a conductor cam, a night-vision shot, a relay feed, or a media server output dropped into the corner of the frame.
It is not a second recording — it's one extra view baked into the same take alongside your program video.
Adding it
Add it from the layout editor (Preferences → Custom Layouts). It's palette-only — it isn't in the default layout, so drag it in from the widget palette and position it where you want it.
You can add several Secondary Video Feeds at once — for example, the program on one NDI source while a PiP shows another.
Choosing a source
Each feed picks its own source, independent of the program feed, from a single list of every connected camera and NDI source:
- A camera — any USB/Thunderbolt camera macOS recognises.
- An NDI source — any NDI sender on the network (a media server output, a relay, another machine).
Controls
Per widget:
- Crop — Fill or Fit
- Zoom
- Edge crop — trim the left/right edges
- Flip — horizontal / vertical
- Opacity
- Border — on/off
Where it appears
The Secondary Video Feed is baked into the recording and the program output (RTMP / NDI-out).
It is not sent to the Stage Display LAN stream — that stream always carries clean raw camera, regardless of overlays.
Because it's baked into the take, a Secondary Video Feed is permanent in that recording. The PiP is a monitor view — it may be a fraction of a second out of step with the main image, so treat it as a thumbnail, not for frame-exact comparison.
