How to Swap Audio of Video with External Audio using KDEnlive

Hello, everyone!
I'd like to share about how to swap the audio of the video with external audio using KDEnlive.
What is KDEnlive?
>KDEnlive is a freeware and open source video editor. It is non-linear.

What is non-linear?
>Non-linear is similar to cut and paste method. It accesses directly to any frames in a video clip without needing to play to reach it.

Now, I'll tell you about things to do.
**Step 1**
Run KDEnlive which can be downloaded at [here](https://kdenlive.org/download/). If you're confused about how to install, you can check my tutorial at [here](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@dissgo/how-to-install-kdenlive).

**Step 2**
Go to **Project>Add Clip** to open and add what's video and audio external to swap.
![5. Add video clip.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514281221/bwz734liaarxw6n6amdy.png)

Drag the video to the editor, then "split audio" to view the audio file from the video.

**Step 3**
Drag the external audio you want to swap to the editor.

**Step 4**
Select the video, **right-click>Ungroup Clips** to fully separate the audio file from the video.

**Step 5**
Select the audio which has been separated from the video, then delete it by **right-click>Delete Selected Item.**
![5. Delete the selected audio.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514551185/hy7k8pzubsi0ntk7qwif.png)

It will be like this. The external audio and the video without its audio file.

**Step 6**
Go to **Project>Render** to begin rendering.
![7. Project Render.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514551489/m0bkj5j5phyl1e8ngrs0.png)

Choose the option like below. I recommend you choose MPEG-4 in subcategory of Old-TV (DVD), because it's the most compatible file type for almost all video players.
Don't forget to set the "Output File" to the directory or path you want.
If done, just click "Render to File" to begin rendering.
![8. Render to File.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514551514/kym4qzlig9ibsksqjxec.png)

Now, it's rendering.
![9. Start Rendering.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514551754/realkfvgwnrysc86mm1h.png)

When finished, open up and play the video.
