Supported Audio Format [VE 21.4 OG]

VidiEditor allows one to set specific shape tags as audio proxy format. All items having this shape defined will be found in the VidiEditor search. Another option is to user original as audio format. In result the VidiEditor will filter on following criteria when orginal is configured to be used.

Shape: Original

Codec Family: AAC

Media Type: Audio (no video component)

File Extension: m4a, mp4, aac

It is still recommended to set a shape tag for audio-only files as it clearly specifies a usable file.
