Bug ID: 367676
Summary: [Clip-Monitor] I can't record voice-over a video
Product: kdenlive
Version: 16.04.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: i...@davidrevoy.com
Hi, I'm trying to record voice with a USB microphone ( plug-n-play ) over my
video track directly on Kdenlive. Commenting the (trimed/copy/pasted) preview
of my video, what a dream for my tutorials !
I first did a search using Google. Then I saw it was possible to do it with
Kdenlive but struggled with the documentation to find the 'Record Monitor' (
https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Monitors#Record_Monitor ,
https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/CapturingAudio ) ; and I finally went
on the IRC freenode channel to get the information : the 'Record Monitor' and
the 'Clip Monitor' are now merged together. A little '+' icon switch the
options.
But even after finding the feature, I spent many times trying to configure it.
I tested all the Alsa devices ( the USB microphone wasn't working) , a lot of
'Channels' ( a bit abstract ) and I also saw the X264 or MPG option choice
only. I tried to copy there a *.ogg line I read somewhere on internet for
ffmpeg... no success... Back in the Clip Monitor, the record option allow only
'Webcam' or 'Screengrab' and hitting 'record' I always get "Capture Crashed,
please check your parameters". So I decided to give-up.
Is it a bug? is the interface to difficult to setup? is it my parameters wrong?
Hard to tell. But I'm sure that's probably a scenario you don't want for the
end user :-) that's why I'm sharing here this general feedback about audio
recording inside Kdenlive. I hope it will help.
