Video playback while mixing sound

Post by johhnry » Thu Feb 27, 2020 4:09 pm

Hi,

I am on Audacity 2.3.2 and I was wondering :

Is there a way to playback a video while mixing and playing sound?

This feature is available in Adobe Audition so if it's on Audacity, it would be great!

Thanks in advance

No, Audacity is audio only.

I assume that you mean video synchronised to the audio. Unfortunately Audacity does not support that, and does not support Jack Transport so you can't synch it to Xjadeo either. The only Linux software that I'm aware of to do that, is Ardour.
