Audio Blip, possible solution (work around)

[allynwillard]

I have been trying to eliminate, or at least minimize, the audio blip which occurs during music transitions for many years. I have found that I don't get the blip on most of the transitions and the few that there always occur at the same place in subsequent renderings. Most of my projects are 40 - 70 minutes long so attempts to fix them is very time consuming as the render time is very long. I have just finished a 70 minute video with VideoStudio 2021 with NO audio blips in it. I created the project with normal (overlapping) audio transitions. I rendered the project to a 1920x1080 MP4 file and vast majority of the the transitions were fine, I had only 7 blips. I made note of the location (timestamp) of the blips. I then opened the original project file (not the video file) in VideoStudio and went to the location of the first blip and set the preview range to a couple of seconds before to a couple of seconds after the transition. Then I rendered, selecting "Create Preview Range Only" and verified the blip. The render only take a very few minutes compared to an hour or more for the entire project. I can now try various changes in a relatively short time. I found that leaving at least one second between the end of the first audio clip and the beginning of the next clip and using the sound mixer to create an audio fade out about 2 seconds before the end of the first clip to one second of minimum volume usually does the trick. If that didn't work, then I applied a "Clicks Removal" audio filter. I used this procedure on all of the the remaining blips and now have a clean sounding video.

VS has been intermittently adding audio blips to rendered files since at least X9 - see https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?f ... hilit=blip

If you found a solution that works for you then you're fortunate since in general, there doesn't appear to be a simple solution nor a single cause. Whatever the cause, Audacity can remove the audio blips, although that extra step is a waste of time, but unfortunately, Corel isn't interested in fixing such a basic flaw.
