Hi, Eugen! Yes, during problem there are no pops. They only appear in the rendered output file. Another thing I have noticed is, that they only happen at the beginning or end of overlapping clips when there is a transition (Slide) or Volume Keyframable Effect involved.
Yes sir, I use Lubuntu 18.04 and Kubuntu 18.04. I just checked and the clips are ususally 44.1khz 16bit. The only way I can get rid of all pops is if I render with a 25FPS profile. 50FPS, 59.9 and 60FPS all produce the same pops. It's driving me so insane omg, I can't sleep anymore.
