SUMMARY
As I posted recently in the forum:
For my current project, I recorded the voiceover in a separate program, exported it as an mp3, and copied that to my project bin to use in the video. For some reason it cuts off a fraction of a second too early, so I’m missing the last syllable of the last word in the voiceover. The mp3 itself is fine - if I open it in any audio player on my computer it runs all the way to the end, nothing missing. It’s just when I open it in kdenlive that it cuts off. I’ve tried reloading the clip, deleting the clip and then copying it to the bin again, and even opening the clip in a brand new project just to test it out, and it’s the exact same problem each time.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. record an audio clip in a separate program, then export it as mp3
2. add that mp3 to the project bucket in kdenlive

OBSERVED RESULT
The imported audio object cut off a fraction of a second early - not drastic, but enough that you can clearly hear it

EXPECTED RESULT
Should have played all the way to the end of the recorded audio

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A forum user suggested exporting my audio in a different format instead of mp3, so I tried that and it worked successfully - audio played all the way to the end like it was supposed to.  Specific format that I used in this case was FLAC.  I have not tested with other formats.
