Editing Surround Sound with Kdenlive
At the time of writing, Kdenlive can only handle stereo (two channel) audio tracks. There is limited support for more than two channels, but in order to edit and create surround sound, some manual steps including external tools are required.
This guide is using a six-channel 5.1 surround sound as example.
External Tools Used Here
Editing Existing Surround Sound
When adding a clip with more than two channels to a project, kdenlive creates an audio thumbnail that correctly shows all audio channels:
The clip can be edited and (audio) effects applied to it, and all appears to work just fine - but once rendering the project, it turns out that the audio track in the resulting video file is 2 channels only.
