Hi! I’m new to shotcut and have problems with getting the right audio information played and exported.
I’m editing a video with originally 2 audio tracks and 5.1 sound. When i play the video in shotcut I can’t hear most of the dialogue (only very little in the background) while music and sounds play back as should be. Also, when I export the edited video, there’s audio information missing in the final file (same problem).
Can you please tell me what I need to do to solve this problem? Thanks very much in advance!
What Kind of audio is in the file? AAC? AC-3? Something else? Click on the clip, go to the Properties panel and click on the Audio tab. Report back what it shows.
Ok. Interesting. That is a codec which I have not tested before. I am confident that it will not be properly downmixed by the current version (18.03.06). There will be some improvements to downmix in the next release. But I would like to test with this file to be sure it will work. Can you provide a download link to a sample clip (using dropbox or something simiar)? You can PM it to me if you like.
Hey Brian some of the Blu-ray disks are using it, and evidently some DVDs also. DTS (sound system) I run across it when I was ripping a Blu-ray to the hard drive, my transcoder was able to handle it. IT was interesting as one Blu-ray they had a stereo version and on the other Blu-ray they had 5.1. If I remember correctly windows movie player would only play sound with the stereo one. I use DVDFab for ripping and XMedia Recode 3.4.2.8 for transcodeing. it is free but you need a recent Nvidia card to use it.
I was able to test the DTS files from both of you. My downmix improvements will make these files work. The changes will be in the next Shotcut release.
