I’m having a problem that hasn’t happened since I started using ShotCut. It started a few days ago. When I pause and play an audio file already added to the timeline, it doesn’t resume from where it paused; it fast-forwards a few milliseconds. Sometimes I cut the audio, and it doesn’t cut properly; the beginning of the second part isn’t at the end of the first. If I pause and play several times, the video keeps fast-forwarding, and the end of the timeline goes silent because it advances so much. During testing, I noticed that this only happens with .wav files (it’s normal with .mp3). I can convert the files and “solve” the problem, but that would be extra work.
I use Windows 11, and my software is version 25.08.16.
Thanks for the demonstration video. Can you upload your .wav file so I can try to reproduce the problem? If it is small enough, you can upload it as an attachment to this forum.
I did not reproduce it in version 25.10 (just released). I used the new Text To Speech in Subtitles to make the .WAV. I uploaded a project. Maybe the bug is specific to certain audio sampling attribute, or maybe it is not really a typical PCM WAV and contains compression. The text-to-speech feature makes 24 KHz stereo PCM.
I’m glad you got it working. I agree - it sounds like something about the .wav file is triggering a problem. The file you uploaded is the .mp3 file - so I can’t reproduce a problem with that. If you upload a .wav file, I can try to find the root problem.
