Is there a way to see the waveform of the audio in the primary video track?

Is there a way to see the audio waveform of the audio in the video (primary) track?
Scrubbing to determine precise edit points is useful, but seeing the dialog audio waveform would be much better.
You can see the audio waveform in additional audio-only tracks, but for cutting to dialog you really need to see the primary audio waveform that's in the video track.
Any thoughts?

msimpson,
No. The waveforms are only visible in the two separate audio tracks.
A work around would be to use Advanced>Extract Audio command.
This command, in spite of its name, copies the audio to one of the audio tracks and sets the volume level of the audio to zero in the video track.
Now you'll have the waveform to use in editing. When you're done with it, you could delete it and raise the volume again on the video track.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • Is there a way to see all my compound clips created on the timeline, in the browser as an accessible thumbnail list....?

    I am facing a problem that
    due to big footage I first extracted the seemingly fine clips in chunks in one timeline in various layers which is still enormous for my RAM
    now I have to take out smaller and more appropriate bits from this timeline
    I have opened another timeline where I just copy paste the best shots from my previous enormous timeline and this works fine due to less media for 6gb RAM mac pro
    but it is really tedious to go back and forth to copy paste
    it would be so wonderful if I could extract those bits from the clips just like we do with any other new footage from the browser window with all the clips visible
    I think one way can be to export these compound clips seperately and import them as events into the browser but that would be a generation loss
    is there any other way.....? to view these compound clips infront of my eyes all at once or keeping all that footage on the timeline besides the finalising layer is the only option...?
    I am facing this rare problem because I'm editing a music video and no shot is more than 2 seconds and that too from several groups of footage that has to be mixed.....so all the data has to be visible to decide if a bit of guitar piece would look good here or drums or close up or long shot.....so everything has to be seen....can you suggest me a smarter workaround please ?

    Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
    500 video files imported in fcpx
    800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
    now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
    these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
    when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
    but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
    but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
    So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords  ?
    and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
    Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

  • Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

    Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
    Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
    Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)

  • HT4059 Is there a way to see only english versions of books in the book store?

    I am looking at the ibooks store and I only want to see english books! It is confusing and waste my time to have books in other languages. I notice this especially when searching for an authors name. If there is a way to turn set it, I would love to see it. I already have it the itunes set to USA. It is this way on both the iPad and my iMac itunes.

  • Is there a way to see on itunes to all my songs the bpm and the key to every song?

    I have some external programs such as BPM Analyser or Mixmeister that i can scan all my songs and have the bpm and the key to every song!Is there a Plug-in or something else that i can have that as a "category" on Itunes so dont need to open another program to do that?It will be useful to the same list to have all and don't need to use external program.If someone know something about that please help.

    There's a field and column for BPM in iTunes - control-click on any of the column headers to see the full list, from where you can select the BPM column to appear. This if course presumes that the utility you're using will write the BPM information into that field; most will. There's no specific field for the key signature, so the utility would have to write that information into another field such as the Comments.

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

    When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
    At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
    Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

    Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.

  • Is there a way to see the IP addresses I logged in from?

    Is there a way to see my IP addresses that I logged into my Apple ID from? Looking around other people thought this was just something Apple did from time to time, but I figure if I can see my login IPs I should be able to evaluate if there was any suspicious activity. I didn't see a way when I logged in to change my password as a precaution. Google does a good job of letting you see your IP logins.
    I got this email from Apple
    Dear ****,
    “iPhone” was automatically removed as a trusted device from two-step verification for your Apple ID (m•••••@email.address)
    Your trusted devices are used to verify your identity when you make changes to your account, sign in to iCloud, or make iTunes or App Store purchases from a new device.
    To protect your security, when you erase a device it will be removed from your list of trusted devices. To re-verify your device, sign in to My Apple ID choose Password and Security, and then Add or Remove Trusted Devices.
    If you did not erase this device or if you believe an unauthorized person has accessed your account, you should reset your account password immediately at My Apple ID.

    Sign out of the iTunes Store then back in. That will refresh the amout.

  • Is there a way to see the actual fonts in the "choose a font" drop-down list of a message window?

    When selecting a font for a message in Thunderbird, the only way I can find to see what the font looks like is to actually change the font of text I've already written. To try more than a few fonts at random would be a sheer waste of time.
    I'm using an older version of MS Word, which has the option of allowing the user to see the actual fonts displayed in the font selection drop-down list.
    Is there any way to set up Thunderbird to do this?

    The short answer is no.

  • Is there a way to see the photo information on the iCloud sharing pages?

    There seems to be an issue with Apple wanting people to see the information for each photo easily.  When I share a photo in a shared album on iCloud, I don't see the title nor do I see any photo information, only the date that the photo was shared. 
    I DO see the date of the picture when it's in slide show view, in light font at the bottom right-easy to miss, but not when it's the basic view that allows us to scroll through the photos. 
    Is there a way to see the title and date of the photos on the left where the black space is and the sharing info is?
    It seems that this whole Photos program is half-done...
    Thank you,
    Dave

    There is an App at the App store called "Battery Magic". You can get a trial version, (free) that will show you what you want to know, including battery life, and how long you can play games, music and other things on your current battery life.
    You can also download the full version. I think its $0.99.

  • Is there a way to see SAN luns from the UCS fabric interconnect.

                       Hello,
    I have recently added a 3rd and 4th vHBA to a B440 running RHEL5.
    Originally I had 2 vHBAs', and each created a path to 172 luns. (I was multipathed to 172 luns)
    Now I have added two additional vHBA's and my SAN admin assures me he has mapped, zoned and masked all 172 luns to the 2 new vHBA's.
    So, at this time I should have 4 paths to 172 luns....but I don't.
    What I see is 4 paths to 71 luns.
    I still see 2 paths to all 172 luns, but only see 4 paths on 71 of them.
    Its almost like my SAN admin either mapped or masked only 71 of the 172 luns to my 3rd and 4th path.
    Via the RHEL5 OS I have rescaned the FC paths, rebooted, done lsscsi, looked in the lowest level places for what devices are present on my FC channels, always I see 172 devices on the 2 original FC paths and 71 devices on the 2 new FC paths.
    My question is....is there a way to see all devices (luns) accociated with an vHBA from the command line in the Fabric Interconnect?
    My configuration is UCS w 2 FI's, using 8Gb FC connections to Cisco 9500 directors, to an EMC DMX4.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gene

    wdey,
    The link you supplied in your response is the answer.
    You can look at the devices on the FC boot paths, but not while the OS is running.
    I have a test server I could reeboot to try what you have in your document, and it does work.
    Too bad Cisco could not create a linux util rpm that would allow looking down the fabric while running. Im quit sure emulex has this kind of util, called HBAanywhere...at least for solaris.
    In any case, thanks for the link to your article, it was VERY good!
    My problem with seeing a shorter list of luns on 2 of my FC paths may get solved this afternoon by a change my SAN admin is going to make.. If it does I will post the fix.

    on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

    Thanks for your reply
    I solved my problem,
    Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
    - Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
    - Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
    - Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
    - Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
    - Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
    - Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
    - Delete iPod Photo Cache
    - Close finder
    - Empty trash
    - Reconnect iphone
    - Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
    After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
    Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
    In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
    Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
    Thanks

  • If I use an SD card for both Windows 7 and Mac, is there any way to see the documents from the Mac sight while on the windows side?

    If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?

    Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
    Windows Aero:
    #nav-bar {
    background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
    Mac:
    #nav-bar {
    background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
    linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
    I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
    @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
    #nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
    background-image: none !important;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file.
