Output settings

Audio

Select tracks, encode audio, and apply filters.

Frame can convert an audio file or export audio from a video source. Choose the output format in General, then configure the Audio section.

Choose the tracks

Check the source audio tracks you want to export. Only selected tracks are included. This matters for sources with several languages, commentary tracks, or alternate mixes.

Review track selection after changing the output format. The container determines the supported audio codecs and track combinations.

Choose an audio format

Audio output formats include MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and Opus. The available encoders also cover AAC, AC-3, ALAC, PCM, and transport-stream audio where supported.

Goal Starting point
Widely supported compressed audio MP3 or AAC in M4A
Preserve a lossless source FLAC or an appropriate PCM/WAV configuration
Compact audio for a compatible destination Opus

Converting a lossy source to FLAC or WAV does not restore discarded detail. It changes the output encoding and can increase the file size.

Bitrate, quality, and channels

Set the bitrate or VBR quality when the chosen encoder supports it. Use the channel layout controls to match the intended output, and adjust volume if needed.

Check the exported file at a normal listening level. Changing channels or gain can alter a mix even when the video is unchanged.

Choose the audio tracks and encoding settings for the output.

Audio filters

Frame provides normalization, limiting, compression, bass and treble adjustment, high-pass and low-pass filters, noise reduction, de-essing, and stereo-width controls.

Start with one filter and compare the result. A limiter controls peaks; a compressor changes dynamic range. Heavy noise reduction or compression can introduce audible artifacts.

Audio filters provide adjustments for levels, dynamics, and tone.

Reuse an audio setup

Use Audio MP3 or Audio FLAC (Lossless) in the Presets tab, or save a custom preset after configuring the output. See presets and batch conversion.
