Sync Audio to Clip and create Zones from it

Help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently testing Lightworks and Kdenlive for my YouTube channel. I tend to prefer Kdenlive overall, but Lightworks has two features I really like:

  1. Manual audio‑clip syncing – I can align an external audio file to a video clip, then create a synced “master” file for the project.

In Kdenlive, however, I’ve noticed that when I need to sync audio I have to:

  • Render the entire clip with the new audio, and

  • Create a proxy clip from that rendered file again.

Is this the correct workflow in Kdenlive, or is there a way to sync audio files directly within the project bin (without re‑rendering and recreating proxies) to create a Zone ?

Thanks for any tips!

I think there is: Look at this section of the online Kdenlive documentation. You need to scroll down a bit to get to the paragraphs about aligning audio.

I think we are :slight_smile: You might need to spell out exactly what your endgame is here.

I want to create a zone

A ‘zone’ of what, around what, to do what? I’m not sure you’re using that word in the same sense kdenlive does.
