In addition to supporting audio included in video files, Shotcut also supports standalone audio files in all commonly used formats. This makes it easy to add external audio to your videos, which can help to raise your production level.
Whether it’s a music file, a voiceover, or sound effects, the method is the same.
To add an audio track, first, click on the three horizontal stripes in the menu bar of the timeline panel. Select Track Operations, then Add Audio Track.
This will add a new track to your timeline. Now drag and drop your audio file over this track. You can move the file back and forth to sync it with the video tracks, if necessary.
Once in place, you can use keyframes to apply effects to the audio file. This will allow you to raise and lower the volume or pan the audio from left to right in certain parts of the track instead of across the entire track.
