I'm making a movie that requires 4 separate AV tracks (mixed audio-video) and I would like to have the audio and video tracks in this order:
...
V4
A4
V3
A3
V2
A2
V1
A1
....

Now, If I choose "Split Audio Tracks" which seems to be the default in Kdenlive when working with Audio Video tracks, I get V1 and A1 side by side and then all the other tracks increase out from the centre tracks, like so:
...
V3
V2
V1
A1
A2
A3
...

This makes it confusing for me because now A3 and V3 are a huge distance apart and it gets worse with V4/A4 and V5/A5.

I thought by choosing "Mixed Audio Tracks" I would have my solution. However now the order of the AV tracks seems completely random!! For instance, I have:
....
A4
A3
V4
A2
V3
...
And so on.

This is completely unusable due to the randomness and the impossibility for me to order each track in the way that most makes sense to me.
I also cannot seem to move tracks up or down to put the tracks in the custom order.

Thank you for your help.

i have also "requested" a button to reverse the audio tracks to make them "more closer" to relative video tracks...

Thank you for asking. Even creating a custom track order is not possible due to top audio track is A1 always.

It's not possible to make this order:

V4
A4
V3
A3

You get

V4
A1
V3
A2

I opened issue: https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdenlive/issues/279

This is the same issue I posted about:
viewtopic.php?f=265&t=161004

Just wondering if anyone knows if progress has been made.

Thanks!

Finally fixed, to do some test just download today nightly builds of Kdenlive.
