Missing Audio waveforms from Project window

I'm hoping anyone can help me. I'm trying to customize volume within a range of a song. I've dragged the audio into my project timeline, however no matter what I try I cannot get the waveform to appear. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of including reverting layout of the project window.
I've worked with audio in projects before and feel I have a fair bit of experience with it but this one has really baffled me.
As you can see from the image attached, waveforms from other audio clips are showing up just fine but the song running along the bottom, no workie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A period only has a UNIX function if it is the FIRST character in the name! (hide file from Finder view), so that is not the issue here. ;-)
And Tom, why should the audio be AIFF?? I drag mp3/m4a files from iTunes ALL the time, without any issues - FCPX even has a native, build-in iTunes browser, so requiering AIFF seems strange, unless FCPX transcode it when it's dragged in!

I took out a clip from project window.

I took out a clip from project window. I went back to the event window and when I played back it was like it skipped a frame. the audio was fine but the vid was skipping every other frame. any suggestions?

Buying AppleCare, at this point, would be a waste of money. You voided your warranty when you replaced your optical drive with a hard drive. Only RAM and hard drive bay customer alterations will not affect your warrany.
You could have, I suppose, kept the optical drive and if your computer ever needed Apple repair, have replaced the hard drive for the optical again before taking it in for service. A little bit underhanded, but some people have done it.
You're pretty much just out of luck now...
Sorry,

Missing audio waveforms in GarageBand 10.0.1

My GarageBand 10.0.1 does not create audio waveforms when I record. I can record and play back my voice, but I don't see any audio waveforms when I record or playback. I must be missing some really elemental step, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. I am trying to record my voice to create a podcast. I know the podcast template is no longer available, but I should be able to use "empty project" for this, correct?

Premiere Pro CC crash when dragging media from project window

I have had so many problems with CC (2014) since the 8.1 update. The latest problem is interacting with media in the project window. In any version of PP (7, 8.0.1, 8.1), when I attempt to drag media from the project window to the timeline i get the "Premiere Pro CC has encountered a serious error..." crash. I am running a Macbook Pro i7, 16gb of ram, Nvidia GT 750m graphics card, on OSX Yosemite. I have tried clearing the media cache and clearing settings on startup with alt+shift. I have been using 8.0.1 because of previous problems with serious ui lag on 8.1. I have had more problems with PP in the last 3 months, than in the previous 7 years I've used it.

Hi Huzzahbeard,
Just out of curiosity. How is it that your software is hindered by a plugin in Chrome. I .... I have no words. This solved my problem and thats great except. Push Bullet is the issue! No, what is premiere even doing with my browser that push bullet would cause problems.
I looked at our bug database and there is no real "reason" listed as to why this particular issue occurs (and it does affect a couple of our other non-video applications—InDesign and Illustrator, as well).
A common troubleshooting step for when things go wrong with an application is to remove any recently installed applications or plug-ins. As I understand it, certain applications share resources which can affect each other. Since Chrome extensions are created using Javascript, I assume that is the area of conflict.
Thanks,
Kevin

Shortcut to Zoom in/out on audio waveform in source window?

Right now the only way i can figure out how to zoom in/out on an audio waveform in the source monitor is by sliding that thin bar area in or out (not sure what that bar is called). Is there a keyboard short cut to do this? - / + and the actual zoom tool are only working on the timeline for me, even though the program window is highlighted.
Thanks

In CS6, + / - work.
Thank you, Adobe!

Draw an audio waveform from recorded sound

I have problem with draw static waveform from recorded sound. Here is an example of which I wanted to use: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Draw_an_audio_waveform_from_an_MP3_file-16767.html
Here is an excerpt of my code, where the recorded sound, and I play it:
    public function startRecording():void
                stop.enabled=true;
                soundClip = new ByteArray();
                microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
                microphone.rate = 44;
                microphone.gain = 100;
                microphone.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, microphone_sampleDataHandler);
            public function stopRecording():void
                play.enabled=true;
                microphone.removeEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, microphone_sampleDataHandler);
                level.width = microphone.activityLevel * 0;
                level.height = microphone.activityLevel * 0;
            protected function microphone_sampleDataHandler(event:SampleDataEvent):void
                level.width = microphone.activityLevel * 1;
                level.height = microphone.activityLevel * 1;
                while (event.data.bytesAvailable)
                    var sample:Number = event.data.readFloat();
                    soundClip.writeFloat(sample);
            public function startPlaying(soundClip:ByteArray):void
                this.soundClip = soundClip;
                soundClip.position = 0;
                                sound = new Sound();
                sound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, sound_sampleDataHandler);
                channel = sound.play();
            protected function sound_sampleDataHandler(event:SampleDataEvent):void
                if (!soundClip.bytesAvailable > 0)
                    return;
                for (var i:int = 0; i < 8192; i++)
                    var sample:Number = 0;
                    if (soundClip.bytesAvailable > 0)
                        sample = soundClip.readFloat();
                    event.data.writeFloat(sample);
                    event.data.writeFloat(sample);
Is there any other way than to save the recorded sound as mp3 (which will also be complicated), or can I use this example given and work on ByteArray? I tried to redo it a little, I'm sitting on this already a lot of time and unfortunately to no avail. Any ideas? Tips?
I would like to compare the recorded sound with the original. Draw waveform will be the first step. Maybe you also have some tips of how to compare the two sounds?
I would be very grateful for every answer,
Lilly

How to reveal from Project window where clip is used on timeline? CS4

I've inherited a huge project. One of my tasks is to go through replacing all the audio (done as .mp3) and replace with .wav versions. In the project window's bins I have the .mp3 version sitting next to the .wav version.
I'm sure I've seen a way that you can select a clip in the project window and get Premiere to show where on the timeline and in which sequence(s) this clip is used. I've searched the help and googled for the answer but can't find it! Have I been dreaming? Is there a way to show whereabouts in the project a clip is used? If there isn't, can anyone suggest a good workflow for me? I have about 150 .mp3s to replace with .wavs...
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
Great news! I thought that it had been added. I too inherited a major Project and could have used that 1000 times. Unfortunately, I am still on PrPro 2.0 (CS4 was not out then), so I had to do it pretty much manually. Fortunately, many of the Assets were in a semi-logical order, so it was not as tough as your case. Also, I was able to place the old edit into logical Sequences, so I was only working with 1 Timeline at a time, and not the original 8+ hour behemoth, that had been started. This limited my searches to maybe 100 Assets at a time.
Glad that you found it, and now I can look forward to using it, when I upgrade.

Final Cut Pro X project timeline vanished from project window.

I'm using Final Cut Pro X on my Intel based iMac running Snow Leopard. I was trimming a video file in the project timeline when the timeline vanished. The project window is there but the timeline is gone in all projects. Any ideas?

Same thing just happened to me, I can preveiw the project still, and no it is not a matter of zooming out. There is no enter full screen option in snow leapord. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed ASAP!
The affected project is the music video, you can see that it is completely grey.
This is what it looks like when you open the project, no timeline. Just a grey area.

URGENT! Missing audio files from a live recording due to Logic crash

Hi,
yesterday, in the middle of a (low budget) live recording, Logic gave me an error message saying "disk too slow" and stopped recording.
I was using the internal drive. I know this is not a proper habit, but I would have never thought that Logic could complain about the drive slowness with 2 tracks/24bit/44,1khz. Instinctively I pressed * at once but this caused the sequencer to start recording back from bar 1, making the previous 27 minutes of recording disappear, even from the audio files directory.
Is there anything I can do to recover the two AIFF files and avoid lots of swearwords from the customer?

Thanks for the sympathy musicspirit...
About Logic crashing... Actually, Logic didn't "crash", that is, the application didn't quit. It only stopped recording, displaying that "disk too slow". If truth be told, the timeline remained red, it stopped recording the two tracks. Then I pushed the "record" key and it started recording back from bar 1. As soon as I realised that it wasn't displaying the previous 27 minutes of recording anymore, I stopped the transport and something even more strange happened... Logic rendered the overview of the newly recorded two audio regions and started prompting error messages about one of them being an 8-bit audio file. Moreover, I had the Roger Nichols Inspector plugin open and in the meantime it went crazy too, displaying "9999" in the clips/consecutive clips/etc. counter.
I was listening with my headphones plugged into my Fireface and I can tell you that the audio coming from the soundcard was perfect during the Logic "crash". It never stopped, clipped, popped or anything similar.
About the audio path, audio file name... I always double check the audio recording path before starting a recording and it was exactly where it should be.
After the crash I recorded the second part of the gig on an external FW hard drive and everything went smooth. I simply can't find the audio files of the first 27 minutes anywhere on the drive. However I found out pieces of them with Data Rescue II among deleted files, but they are corrupted (interrupted by pink noise and square waves - BTW I plan to save one of them labelling it with "how an audio file dies").
It is really strange that such a powerful program (as Logic is) doesn't save an audio file if for some reasons it stops recording and you press record again...

Missing Audio Media from iMovie

I am exporting a project in the usual way (via media browser), but get the 'Missing Media" message referring to one audio track I have imported via the iTunes folder. This file, (along with a second audio file which is OK), both show in the right place when I 'Reveal in Finder'. The file is there when I check the 'missing file' path given in the error message. The project plays absolutely fine.
Earlier in the editing I dragged and dropped an audio file with the same name into the project from another folder from outside of iMovie. (Didn't actually know you could do this with iMovie, but it seemed to work !) Subsequently I needed to re-edit the audio, deleted the original file from the project and saved the new file to the iTunes folder and them dragged it into the project via iTunes.
I have deleted the audio from the project and iTunes (several times) and re-saved my work but without success. I tried renaming the file to import and at one point the file name given in the "Missing Media" error was not the same as the file I imported.
Is iMovie trying to find my original file, and if so how can I delete it.

Hi
Have no idea - But I do this another way and have near to Zero problem with Audio in any of my projects in iMovie or FinalCut.
• I never use any .mp3 audio or other alient formats - all converted to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz
• In iTunes I do
- Collect needed sounds into a New PlayList
- BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (still .aiff - not .mp3)
- use the files on this CD in my movies
And by doing so I nearly never get any problems with AUDIO - I hit a lot of other's - but this is very rare to me.

Lift and Extract from Project Window.

I'm exploring areas I've never used in PP CS3.
I understand how Lift and Extract are SUPPOSED to work.
What I am experiencing is that unless a clip is in a certain layer (that is highlighted), it doesn't lift or extract.
In this case it's layer 4.
Based on how I've read this function is supposed to work, I'd image it would extract from any clip under the lift/extract area.
However, unless the clip is in layer 4(in this project) it doest work. Move a clip to layer 4, it does.
Do I have some strange preference set?
The capture below shows the only layer that gets extracted. You can see the blue highlighted area in the pic below.
Only a clip that intersects with that layer will be lifted or extracted. Not the clip 2 layers below.

Solved.
Bizarre. All I had to do is select is select the layer on the left.
In my hundreds of hours in Premiere I have NEVER had the occasion OR need to select a layer...until now....and the lift/extract and even trim window are functions I've never used or missed.

Missing Audio Assets From Merged Clips

One of my original source tapes of an interview had distorted audio. So I imported the separate audio recordings for that tape into my project manager. I then created a new Sequence on my Timeline. I then dropped the original source tape with the distorted synched audio into that sequence. I then dragged the matching double-system audio into the sequence and proceeded to line up that double-system audio against the original distorted audio tracks of the source tape.
Once synch was complete, I Unlinked and deleted the old distorted audio track, leaving only the double-system audio. I then used the Delete Tracks command to eliminate the old original audio track, making the new audio track the A1 audio. I then used the Synchronize command, followed by the Link command. I understood this would merge the two assets into one new clip.
My problem is that although this new merged clip exists as the new sequence I created and is perfectly synched, when I now edit it in my Source Panel, and then use Insert, the video portion appears on the Timeline, but never any audio. I then checked the original video tape file (the distorted audio) from which I had created the new merged file (sequence) and found that it too does not bring audio with it when Inserted onto the Timeline. In both cases the edited video portion shows up but never any audio.
I cannot discover why the audio assets are not being associated with either the old video footage or the newly created merged clip with the double-system audio. Any offers of help would be appreciated.

You probably don't have any audio tracks targeted.

MIssing Albums Folder from Finder window

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought under the "Pictures" folder there should be an "Album" Folder. This Album folder would contain all the albums created in iPhoto. Is this a correct assessment?
If so, I do not have an album folder. How can I get it back? Any help would be much appreciated. As my finder is now, there are some data files but all date folder organizing my photos but no albums.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Michael, as Alexander said, they are not more. And may I add, much to everyones dismay. I'll give you a little more info that might help you out.
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

Missing ADF Core from Component window

Hi,
I'm using jdevstudio1013. In most cases, when I created a new application with template specified as ADF BC & JSF, ADF Core and other ADF related components simply didn't show on my component window for me to chose from. Sometimes it does show up after I exit Jdeveloper and launch it again. However, this doesn't work all the time.
This surely is a bug. Can anyone tell me how I can work around it?
Thanks.

Hi, Frank,
I finally get ADF core appeared again. But, some worser thing happened. All layout fields of all my jspx on design tab shrunk into two bearly visible square on the top-leftmost corner.
my jdev version is 10.1.3.0.4.3673 on WinXP.
What can I do now?

Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output. My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

Hi Joe,
How do you have your audio setup? Try the following.
- Set your OS system sound to Built-in or Line out audio
- Select Blackmagic for both Video and Audio in Preferences> Playback
- Select System Default Input/Output from Preferences> Audio Hardware
Hope this helps,
