Hello @JasonHutton. Please try the following:
Let us know the result.
I've already tested with the latest daily build(https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/releases/download/daily/OpenShot-v3.1.1-daily-11627-2034f45d-08c2cdd1-x86_64.exe (October 9, 2023)) and confirmed the issue there. I do have the source video in a different format already and OpenShot can work with that without issue, but it's choking on one that plays fine elsewhere in multiple other software(MPCHC, VLC, VirtualDub, VideoPad.). Original file is from OBS. Problem file was a trimmed version by VideoPad, which again can be played with other tools fine.
Well, this is one of the weaknesses/shortcomings of OpenShot where in some cases and for unknown reasons, at this time, it is unable to deal with certain profiles of content so it doesn't handle it well. Running it through a converter somehow normalizes the profile enough so that OpenShot can process it properly.
This is documented for an enhancement in a future release. No ETA at this time.
I know for a fact that other more advanced editors convert certain source files during the import process. This is what OpenShot needs to do as well.
There's a similar one, but not the same thing. (Other one only affects the preview, still exports fine. Mine doesn't work in either case.)
Describe the bug: I've got a 19 second, 56MB video file, that has audio playback just fine anywhere else, but when imported into OpenShot, plays audio for 3 seconds, does not play audio for 14 seconds, then plays audio for 2 seconds. If you split the audio from the video, a waveform is present in the preview, indicating OpenShot should be reading the audio data in some fashion at least. If desired, the actual source video clip can be provided, if requested in a reasonable timeframe.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior: I expected audio to play back both in preview and in export, without going silent.
