Audio pops crackles

[jbrid]

Hi,
I am relativity new to video editing and hoping someone can help me overcome an audio problem.
I am getting distorted audio both in OpenShot while previewing and after export. The pops and crackles are much worse after export.

Sample:

Here is my basic info:

Code: Select all

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
4.7.0-040700-generic
OpenShot 2.0.7

I have verified that the sample rate for the imported audio track is 44.1 and that it matches the default profile in OpenShot.
I tried exporting to various format and qualities and still the same issue.

Thanks!

Did you probably choose a very low bit rate for audio encoding?

No, that is not the issue, but thanks for the reply. I am using WAV format for the audio.

I have some additional information that may help solve the issue.

First, my issue is the same as this person's:

Second, I do not experience this issue after downgrading to OpenShot 1.4.3.

In that case you may want to report the issue here: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues

This is still an issue, and if you search it, you can see that it's been an issue since at least 2010. On two different pcs, both running Windows 10 (one is a work slug, the other is a gaming laptop), I experience this issue whenever I overlay one video on top of another.

I have switched to Hitfilm Express for this reason, however there is a project I made in Openshot which I want to export without remaking it, but I can't get the audio to work. I'm on version 2.3.1, and I see no reason to upgrade since it's been an issue for years.
