Thus, the above steps will remove crackles for the most part, but eventually OpenShot will be smart enough to avoid them all together. In general, crackling can either be caused by the combined volume of your timeline exceeding 100%, or by different number of audio samples in 2 frames which are being merged together (such as overlapping clips). This could be a rounding issue with respects to 'position'. If you still get crackling when 2 clips overlap, try nudging the position of 1 clip back and forward until you hear no crackles. If you still get crackling when 2 clips overlap, try adjusting the volume down in 1 or both clips Try editing and previewing in the same FPS as your source files (choosing the profile in the top toolbar)ĭon't mix different FPS files in your project I found an older version of kdenlive (15.12.3) that does not have this problem. and there is always some reason it happens. And if you dont have an answer, then please recommend me a good free video editor for gaming montages with good audio editing. In this HOWTO video we show you how to edit the audio volume of a clip. I'm always working on reducing crackling it seems.

Of course, the long term goal is to never have any crackling audio in OpenShot, but there are still a few reasons that this happens, and some things you can do to prevent it.
