Description

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:
Create a destination video by cutting 2 pieces of video from a big file and merging them together. In they place where they join, it produces a clipping noise on speakers, due to the sound waveform.

% ffmpeg -report -y -i in.mp4 -vf "select='between(t,72.75,74)+between(t,644.7,670)', setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB" -af "aselect='between(t,72.75,74)+between(t,644.7,670)', asetpts=N/SR/TB" -c:v libx265 -x265-params pass=1 -b:v 1700k -c:a aac -b:a 160k -f mp4 NUL && ffmpeg -y -i in.mp4 -vf "select='between(t,72.75,74)+between(t,644.7,670)', setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB" -af "aselect='between(t,72.75,74)+between(t,644.7,670)', asetpts=N/SR/TB" -c:v libx265 -x265-params pass=2 -b:v 1700k -c:a aac -b:a 160k -f mp4 out.mp4

Audio segment where the clipping happens

This bug report makes no sense.

Selecting random audio from random points and joining them and expect fluid transformation is unrealistic. If you really need it, you can sort of do it with acrossfade filter. But that is just a hack, if 2 segments diverge drastically and crossfading is short you will get distortions or clicks or both.

That's the answer I was waiting for. Great explanation.
