I have edited a video with shotcut and this forum has been very helpfull. Thanks to all of you !
But now I’ve come to finalise my work, I wonder how the audio is rendered when you export the video.
I’ve made a music video and I’dd like to have good audio quality.
So, I first imported a good mp3 file, rendered directly from my DAW. But when I was going to render the video I realised that the audio was maybe going to be re-compressed. Is that right ? Or is it just put “as is” in the video container ?
So than I imported a wav render of my audio thinking ShotCut was going to compress the audio, but the video I exported is huge (500MB for 4 minutes at 1920*1080p)
So, I 'dd like to know how the audio is treated during rendering, and also if I should choose audio quality when I insert the audio, or during export of the actual video.
My aim is to produce a good quality music video for our website and youtube, so maximum quality at a reasonable weight…
I insert a wav or flac render from the DAW and than let Shotcut do the audio encoding (compression), otherwise I’m going to compress the audio that was allready compressed.
I will have a look at your presets tonight as I’m now at work.
Hi Frans, I’m having the same problem. Did you discover a good way to record Hq-audio already? I also use a DAW (Cubase) and when I upload music to Youtube the audio quality is becoming worse (after exporting tmo wave-file, exporting to Shotcut and a third time to Youtube.
