You’re welcome.

Advanced users can use the keyboard shortcut to access this hidden feature in a timeline project: Shift+Enter.

I didn’t know about that shortcut key. Thanks.

17.) why?

I based it on what @Austin and @D_S said in my thread about the export presets:

@Austin

Thirdly, FLAC is indeed a less-than-ideal format for real-time playback of multiple streams. It is extremely CPU-heavy as far as audio codecs go. Personally, I don’t understand the value of compressing audio streams during the edit phase when the video streams they’re paired to are orders of magnitude larger in size. I could see using FLAC for the master or an archive copy (which again would make more sense paired with the FFV1 export preset rather than HuffYUV). Your switch to PCM during editing was a good move. That’s what I use for all my intermediates and proxies. AC-3 could be a good alternative if space is really that big a deal.

@Austin

One video with FLAC may not cause Shotcut to stutter, but multiple videos doing a transition will produce way more load on your CPU than necessary.

@D_S

Also regarding audio I usually do a 48khz WAV for editing the source is a 128kbit 48khz mp3(on camera recording) FLAC would just be silly
