Audio Wave in Timeline

I am pretty sure one time I had it so the audio in the timeline had the wave that goes along with it which helped line up the video with the audio. How can I do this? Thanks.

OptionCommandW will toggle the waveform display on/off
The keywords are 'show audio waveforms'. Do a search in the FCP help to read about other the ways you can turn them on/off.
good luck.

Final cut pro...audio waves in timeline.

Ok so I'm new to the Mac world..used premiere for years, now I'm trying to learn FCP.
Here's the first of I'm sure will be many ??'s
In the audio timeline I can't see the audio wave ( meter lines ) not sure what there called. I can hear the audio.
I assume it must be a setting but I can't find it.

FYI: Please press the or buttons over the posts that warrant it...

View audio wave form in A1 and A2 etc in the timeline instead of the Viewer

It's likely this is an amateur question buuut -
Is there anyway to get the audio wave form to show in the Audio layers in the timeline. The only way I've seen to adjust and play with audio is when I double click on one of the tracks and then the audio tab in the viewer will open. I want to be able to see waveform in the timeline and then add or remove markers and adjust from the timeline -
There's got to be some way to adjust audio and play and stop so that you can watch the video and hear audio changes as you tweak it at the same time.

SEQUENCE--> SHOW AUDIO WAVEFORMS

Can't see the audio "waves" in the timeline, CC?

I cant se the "audio- waves" in my audio timeline. I can hear the audio and see the blu audio but I cant see the "audio-waves"?What do I do to see it?

Hi MO_MO,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums,
Please click on the Wrench button on the timeline and click on Show Audio Waveform.
Please update if this helps.

Yes Christer.
At the bottom left corner , under the audio timelines you will see a tiny black triangle.
Click it and from the contextual menu that appears select "Show Audio Waveforms".

How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9, for some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?

Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
Please Help

What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

Adobe Premiere 2.0 Audio Desaparece en Timeline

BUenas a todos, nuevamente.
El siguiente problema, es con el audio.
Al insertar un audio en el timeline, perfecto, se oye estupendamente.
Cierro proyecto, vuelvo abrir el proyecto, y por arte de magia, el audio o no se oye o solo se oye por un canal.
El archivo de audio, por si el mp3 pudiera fallar, es un WAV.
Aun así, sigue igual, y lo mjeor de todo, es que si lo vuelves a reemplazar por el original, entonces, solo se oye por un canal o sigue sin oirse.
Alguien tiene el mismo problema?
Gracias a todos

I have something for you to try.
What did you use for project preset? I am assuming PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 since there is no DSLR 1080p setting in version 8.0/8.0.1.
(Did you say what the recorder is offering in the way of video compression to go along with the .mp4 container format?)
Take that Timeline and export it to a file saved to the computer hard drive.
Share/Mobile Phones and Players/Apple iPd and iPhone/and preset = iPod and iPhone - High Quality.
Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, have your Export Settings look as follows:
Then upload that file (H.264.mp4) to You Tube at the YouTube web site. What is the quality of the uploaded video?
We will be watching for the results.
Thanks.

How to turn on audio waveform in timeline in Premiere Pro CC

I'm not sure why I'm not getting a clear answer for this question, but can anyone help me out here? In Premiere CS6, all I had to do was press the little arrow next to my timeline and I could see the audio waveform. The arrow is no longer in CC and I can't figure out how else to turn this on. I use this feature constantly so it's quite inconvenient not to have it on.

This seems like a bug to me. My audio was doing the same thing. I imported a clip from an HD camera. Dragged it onto my sequence timeline and the audio showed as a solid blue bar.
I couldn't see my audio waveform until I took the yellow scrubber and dragged it back and forth across the whole sequence. Then the audio wave started to appear. It was very confusing because I had one other camera clip on the audio track below this one and it showed fine.
Then, it still disappears while playing, but shows while its paused...very odd.
While playing:
While paused:
UPDATE:
My fix was to
1. Alt+Click the audio portion of the clip to select just the audio.
2. Go to Clip>Audio Options>Audio Gain
3. HIt ok, Premiere then rendered my audio properly....odd. BTW, this clip was captured by premiere, so rendering audio wasn't an option. But as soon as I went to the audio options, it suddenly built the waveform peaks.

OS X - Audio Wave Form Disappears

OS X 10.10.2
Premiere v. 2014.2
In every project I start I notice that the audio wave form that displays in the timeline, after Premiere conforms the audio, disappears depending on where I have the scroll bar in the timeline. This only happens when I create a multicam clip with two or more cams. I can also pin-point when it happens. If I scroll to the end of the timeline that I placed the clip in as soon as the end of the clip enters the current timeline field of view the wave forms will disappear. I took a video to show exactly what happens.
I understand that I am going to have to submit a bug report, but I want to know if 1) anyone else is experiencing this or can reproduce it and 2) if there is a way to fix it. Right now the only workaround for me is to Render and Replace the audio for every multicam clip I make. When I do that the wave forms seems to display correctly, but I would rather not have to do that every time I use a multicam clip.
I figure if others experience this and we all submit a bug report the odds of it getting fixed will increase.

I'm going to bump this. Is anyone else even experiencing this or able to reproduce it?

Making Audio wave forms larger in FCP

Hiya,
I was just wondering if anyone knows a way of making audio wave forms in the timeline in larger or smaller? (without adjusting the size of the audio track itself).
Like you can in Avid by hitting ctrl-L / ctrl-k
I'm editing with some soft audio, where it would be helpful to be able to see the waveforms a bit more closely. I was told modify/audio/normalise might adjust the waveform inside the audio track, but it doesn't seem to...
Cheers and thanks
L

AH....that must be a feature of the newer MC and Adrenaline software, which I have little experience with. All these new features and nothing to say "hey, this is a GREAT new feature." And fellow editors don't let you know unless you ask "hey, how did you get your timeline to look like that?"
This is why I like the FCP community. As soon as we find something, we shout out "HEY, LOOK AT THIS COOL THING!"
Even FCP goes "Hey, look at this cool thing!" Avid? New features, and they are quiet about it. Avid doesn't tell people about new stuff.

Raw files WITH audio appear in timeline WITHOUT audio

I have many files that absolutely HAVE audio appear with none in the timeline. The track itself is there, but the waveform is flat, no sound, and nothing in the source monitor. However, when you "reveal in finder" that particular clip, and play it through VLC, there IS audio.
My thought is that the metadata associated with the clip is corrupted, be it xmp, cfa, or pek.
I have run into this problem several times now. As far as I know, there is no easy way to have premiere to"redo" the audio conforming. Short of mucking around manually to find and delete all the metadata associated with that clip, I don't konw what to do. And I feel like even that doesn't always work...
For this particular project, I am collaborating remotely with another editor, so I completely understand the problem - the project files not routing to the same metadata or soemthing. That said, I did try to "reload" the footage and point premiere back to the original on my machine, but it still comes in with no audio in the timeline. I think it even tried to conform, but it clearly didn't do anything. Premiere thinks there's no audio at all.
Anyone have any ideas?

Any advice as to how to do that most efficiently? "Clean cache database" in the media preferences doesn't equate to "delete all cache." Its cleaning the cache for old projects or something, right?
And it is extremely difficult to manually delete these files, since many of the clip across many different projects stored in the cache folder share the same name, so the pek and cfa files are basically the same names too. no way to know which is which, save for painstaking attention to each file's modification date.
does it have anything to do with the XMP files too? Or is it just the pef and cfa? Which is the culprit here?
Thanks for your help, Jim.

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

How do I transfer audio wave files to individual garage band tracks?

How can I transfer audio wave files recorded in a studio to individual Garage Band tracks? Three tracks in all.

if the files are in one of GB's supported formats:

simply drag and drop the files into the GB timeline

Audio Wave problem in Viewer (havent seen before)

Hi,
This is a problem I havent seen before. I double click my audio in the timeline to work with it in the Preview window but the waveforms dont show up.... I can hear it but can't see anything. And when I scroll left or right (in the preview window) turns to thick black vertical lines mixed with green and gray horizontal lines.
There's no real science to the problem that I can figure out. It happens to Stereo pair clips and Mono clips. SOmetimes the waveform will show up everywhere but in between the in and out marker.
It's drivin me nuts. Got any ideas??? Much appreciated.
chris!

Every time you turn on the waveform in FCP, it has to generate files that relate back to the waveforms that you are looking at. Sometimes, the cache files get out of whack. Delete them and FCP will draw new waveforms and new cache files.
If it happens again, just flush those cache files. Not big deal.
