yes I have same problem. I'm using Openshot 2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. There is no drop down menu under "export video - advanced - audio settings - audio codec". Openshot 1.4.3 has a drop down that lets you select AAC from the list. I have tried typing in AAC into Openshot 2.1 but this brings the error Sorry, there was an error exporting your video: exception class 'openshot.InvalidCodec' After searching and playing with the software I have not found the answer. Frustrating.

Hi, libmp3lame works in Windows 10 too, no need to install anything!!
But a drop down menu would be very necessary.

For AAC output, use libvo_aacenc for the output codec.
It accepts FFmpeg codecs.
You can view supported output codec using ffmpeg -codecs | grep '^.E'

I installed libfdk_aac on my Ubuntu and confirmed that the AAC encoder works with avconv. But my OpenShot 2.3.4 still complains about "openshot.InvalidCodec" when exporting to AAC audio using libfdk_acc. On the other hand, MP3 export using libmp3lame works. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I can encode audo with AAC using ffmpeg but OpenShot complains with "openshot.InvalidCodec". Could someone that got this working please explain how he or she did it?

I solved it, I select the AVI with mp4 codec so it was mp3.

To use ACC:
Install the package libavcodec-extra.
Type libvo_aacenc instead of ac3.

To use AAC in Openshot 2.4.3, just type "aac" in: "Advanced"->"Audio Settings"->"Audio Codec".
It would be so much better if there was drop down menu of available codecs.
