Kdenlive: Speed up the audio and video without losing pitch

I am using Kdenlive Version 17.12.3 in Ubuntu 18.04. I have increased the the speed of the video and it resulted in the pitch variation of audio. Is there any way to change the pitch? I even tried changing the speed and pitch of the audio outside using Audacity but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't match the length of the audio and video after that.

With Kdenlive 20.08, you can right-click the clip in the timeline -> Change Speed. In the dialog choose the speed ratio, and check Pitch compensation.

I know this is an old thread, but I have found a way to do it right inside Kdenlive. Let's assume you speed the video up to 110% its original speed, or 1.1. Then you can add a pitch scaler with a pitch shift of 1/1.1 = 0.909, like this. This works for a wide range of speed increases. I used the effect "AM pitchshifter", but any pitch shifter should work.

With Kdenlive Version 19.12.3 First do a pitch shift (audio effects => AM pitchshifter) second Change the Speed of the clip and that is the solution!
