multiple audio tracks as separate choices such as you would find on DVDs and Blurays such as track 1: English track 2: Spanish track 3: French

Hello DRM,
yes, that’s exactly what I am looking for. I tried it now with the order in the time line, the result were two audios in one audio track where I could hear two commentars simultanously.
Is it perhaps possible to export them as two seperate tracks out of shortcut?

Hey, Hawkeye.
As far as I know, Shotcut doesn’t export files with multiple audio tracks. What I would suggest is getting MKVToolNix and using it along with Shotcut. So, in your Shotcut workflow, include all of the tracks you want to have as separate audio tracks (e.g. A1, A2, A3, etc…) and make all of the same edits (if there are any) across all audio tracks. After going through the video and codec tabs to make your desired adjustments in the Export menu, make the adjustments you also want on the audio tab. Then export the video with the first audio track which means you mute all of the other audio tracks (that’s what the small speaker icon does that is found in both the video and audio tabs in the timeline space).

After that, start exporting the other audio tracks one by one. Make sure that you mute all audio tracks except for the one you want to export at that point in time and right before you start exporting the other audio tracks separately, also make sure to disable the video in the codec tab on the export option screen that way only the audio track is exported. After you export all the other audio tracks, use MKVToolNix to put them all in one MKV file.

I hope that helps you.
