Hi everyone,

I’m using shotcut about a year now. I continue to encounter this issue when opening videos in Shotcut Playlist (Open File → MP4).

The video plays absolutely fine when I play it in VLC but when I open I open it in the player in shotcut there is a huge 100% loudness buzzing. When I import the “next” video in the order I recorded them on my camera (where the video files get automatically chopped at 3 minutes), most of the time the second file has no buzzing.

The buzzing is present in the exported video.

The file types I am using are MPEG-4.

It’s so frustrating because any video I make I have to deal with this audio issue on the first file I append to the timeline. It doesn’t matter whether I chop up the imported file, the buzzing is present after export.

Anyone experienced this? Know what to do?

Edit more info: The original audio for the clip is preserved, but the buzzing os overlaid rendering it awful to listen to

I do not experience this. But occasionally we come across files that don’t work well in Shotcut. It would be helpful if you could post a screenshot of the Properties panel (both Video and Audio tabs) from Shotcut when your clip is selected.

Also, if you are willing to share a sample clip that causes the problem, we could try it for ourselves. You would have to upload it to a file sharing site (like Google Drive) and post a link here.
