multi-cam clapboard audio sync

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's a great idea. If you can find a
good "tutorial" or write-up of exactly how this features works, please post
the links here. Thanks!

Here are some links to tutorials for different editors I found to demonstrate the basic capabilities as well as different approaches in each product.

One link is a write-up and explanation, the rest are video tutorials to see the process in action. Let me know if this works for you and the team, or if you prefer something else.

Hopefully this helps clarify the functionality as well as seeing common -vs- unique implementations that may help inspire an approach that aligns with the OpenShot vision and style.

Thank you for being open to investigating this as a potential feature.

Thanks for researching this for us! I really appreciate it.

I have the same concern.
One thing I do all the time is sync several video clips together using audio waveforms. Blender and Kdenlive have this, but (1) Blender is tricky and not super-convinient, and (2) Kdenlive is unstable and crashes all the time for me.

Audio Waveforms will come (and not only) with the 2.0.0 version.
