Bug ID: 471481 Summary: Clicking/ticking noise in rendered video Classification: Applications Product: kdenlive Version: 23.04.2 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Video Display & Export Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org Reporter: lennart_na...@hotmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** I want to make short mp4 videos for Tiktok of me playing guitar. I record the audio in Reaper, export as wav, combine this with video recorded on my phone (Android) and render as generic mp4 (h.264/aac). There is no apparent issue with the audio until after I render the video, which has a strange clicking/ticking noise. Please refer to the video linked here to get a better idea of the noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/Fo9gyW0XBu0?feature=share I have tried different rendering presets (mainly lossless and generic ones), with mixed results. Either the video had the clicking noise, it didn't have video and/or audio, or it simply wouldn't open in any app. The only preset where the audio was fine, was if I render as wmv, which I then have to convert online to mp4 because that is the only format Tiktok accepts. I have messed around in Reaper switching between 44.1Hz and 48Hz, 16bit and 24bit, with no notable difference. I found the troubleshooting guide, which specifies that audio files should be 16bit PCM, but this also made no difference. I attached the 16bit PCM recording to this report in case it would help you find a fix. I tried different methods of recording, either through my audio interface or Zoom H5 handy recorder. My amp has USB for recording and firmware updates, and this is currently the only way to not have that clicking sound in the video after rendering in Kdenlive. So there is a way around it but it's not exactly practical, and I'm still very puzzled why the sound occurs. It's possible the issue lies in my recording hardware, but then I wouldn't know why there is no problem with the audio during recording or after rendering in Reaper. I couldn't find anything about people having this specific problem. Berndmj over on the Kdenlive subreddit tried to help but also couldn't find a solution, and suggested I make this bug report. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. add audio file to Kdenlive (with or without a video clip) 2. render as generic mp4 h.264/aac OBSERVED RESULT Intermittent clicking/ticking sound through the video EXPECTED RESULT No intermittent clicking/ticking sound through the video ;) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
