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!

  • Is it possible to mute audio in the source window?

    I don't always want to hear the audio from a source clip when I am marking in and out points.  Is there a way to mute it while I watch the clip at real-time speed?

    Make sure you have opened the clip mixer and not the track mixer.
    edit.
    It depends on the version of Premiere, the clip mixer is a feature of the newer versions.

  • Issues with video/audio playback and Source window

    I have some video that I am trying to import to get into my sequence. Anytime I open the video into my source window (or drag it to the timeline), the audio goes crazy. It starts skipping around and jumbling itself. When I open the video file in Quicktime on my computer, it opens and plays fine. Also, I don't know if it is unrelated, but sometimes when I open a video in my Source window, there is no audio. I can drag it to the Sequence and double click on it to bring the Sequence video into the Source window and it plays fine.
    The video that I am having issues with is a .mov filmed from an iPad (not sure which iPad model). It is filmed in Portrait mode, not sure if that matters. Please let me know what other information might be needed to troubleshoot this issue.
    Thanks!

    Ooh. Sorry about that.
    - I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 v.6.0.3
    - I'm sure I have the latest update. I'm using Creative Cloud, and the Adobe Application Update Manager says everything is up to date.
    - Operating System is Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
    - Source footage is a .mov filmed in portrait mode (I didn't record it.. Haha) on an iPad, not sure the model.
    - I am getting no error messages.
    - I was just dragging the video file from the Media Browser to the Source window. Nothing special.
    - This is working on all of the other clips filmed from the same iPad at same resolution, etc. Also, this particular video plays perfectly in Quicktime. It's just when I try to play it in Premiere Pro.
    - Other software that is currently running is standard stuff: antivirus, Outlook, Gtalk, Dropbox. Nothing that uses audio.
    - I have installed K-Lite Codec pack when I got the computer.
    - I have a Dell Preision T7600, Dual Xeon Quad-core processors (2.00GHz), 16 GBs of ram, Nvidia Quadro 4000 (2GB), and running off of a 256GB SSD.
    - I am using the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration.
    - The issue is happening on playback, both in the Source window and the Program window when I drag the video to the Sequence. It plays fine in Quicktime.

  • Hearing only one audio channel in source window & in timeline

    Hi all,
    As most of you I get a lot of footage where the audio is split - left channel for gun-mic\\front-mic and right channel for neck mic.
    A lot of times I want to preview only one audio channel in the source window.
    I cant find a way to do it.
    Also whan I try to hear\monitor only one channel when the clip is in the timeline - its a problem -
    the only way I know is by using the fill Left\Fill right effect - it is good when I do the final mix
    but sometimes I just want to hear one of the channels.
    without the tidius way of adding an effect just to preview something and then deleting it.
    I'm sure there a way to do this - right?
    thanks!

    Thank you very much for replying
    Select the clip in the Project Window and duplicate.
    Select duplicated clip > clip > Audio Options > Source Channel Mapping.
    Disable one of the channel and hit OK
    Place this clip on the timeline and ALT + double click so it will open in the Source Monitor.
    This is a very messy and unconfterble way to work - because I need to toggle this every time I want to switch channels to monitor.
    Instead of adding the effect fill left/right you can toggle the effect on and off for the whole track in the Audio mixer.
    This is a nice solution when I work on the timeline - but it won't help when I go on the source footage.
    I think the only way to switch channels for a quick preview in premiere is by buying a Sound card with a channel switcher - or using a mixer...
    so dissapointing...

  • Premiere Pro 6.0 Low audio playback in source window.

    I'm using PPro 6.0 and out of the blue the volume of my source window is lower then the Program window. The levels are consistent. The actual volume coming from the speakers is louder on the program side then the same clip on the source side. All settings are the same as they have always been as far as I can tell. I'm using Premiere Pro WDM Sound. I've rebooted, I've reseated all the connections.  Kinda stuck with this one. I suppose the sound card could be dying.  Any other ideas?

  • 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.

    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!

  • How to switch to audio waveform view in source panel

    I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 8.1.0(81) on a PC.
    I'm following a tutorial on Lynda.com and the version used in their video isn't quite as up to date as mine.
    They recommend clicking on the options list in the Source Panel's tab to switch to audio waveform view to more precisely insert and In point based on the dialogue in the audio.
    Problem is, my Source Panel's option list doesn't include anything for audio waveform.
    Am I missing something? Did they move it? Or maybe I may have the wrong tool selected (is this a contextual menu that changes depending on what tool is selected?)?

    Hi [email protected],
    Please post a screen shot to explain which option you are choosing and if possible, share the complete workflow.
    You can switch to Video or audio waveform in source panel by clicking the buttons Drag Video only or Drag audio only option.

  • How can I zoom in to audio waveforms for precision edits?

    In FCP 7, you can zoom into audio waveforms for precise edits. In FCP X, there seems to be a fairly coarse resolution to how far you can zoom into audio waveforms. I rely extensively on being able to see where subtle aspirants start and end, but I can't see the audio waveforms very clearly, no matter how far I enlarge the clips.
    Is there some hidden window or command that I'm missing?

    tonypatti wrote:
    I'm assuming you mean in the timeline. So you trim your clips in the timeline, and not in the clips window? I've noticed there is no Viewer window, as in FCP 7, and I used to refine my clips in that window, setting in and out points with simple keystrokes. Is this how we do it in X? In the Timeline window?
    It depends on my needs... Each event library-clip has its own timeline too...
    All you need to do is right-click the clip in the event library and select "Open in Timeline"
    There you can trim the audio or clip with much greater precision than in the event library itself...
    In FCPx -- EACH clip in the event library is contained within its own mini-project... That is why you can "open" it in its own timeline... The event library is so powerful in this way. You could even select a clip and hit "Open in Timeline" and drag another clip into that.... That would automatically turn the clip into a compound clip (which is essentially a project)... the possibilities are endless... And so is the zoom ;-)))) If you do it this way !
    PS -- You can create a short key for "open in timeline" should you find yourself annoyed with right-clicking all the time
    PPS -- You state "no viewer window".... As of 10.0.7 FCPx has TWO viewers.. One for events and one for the project... Hit ctrl+command + 3 to show/hide it...
    You should take your time with the app and NOT look at it as if it was FCP7
    Also the user guide is very well written !

  • Can you 'zoom' the audio waveform in the timeline?

    Unable to find a solution in the help or the FAQ, so I'll post my first question here :-)
    I would like to vertically zoom into the audio waveform in the timeline. My situation is that I have a 24-bit audio mix of a classical concert with a fairly large dynamic range, i.e. very loud bits and very quiet bits in one single audio file. I don't see enough waveform detail in the quiet parts, even when I enlarge the track vertically. I haven't found an official way of zooming in, at least in the timeline. The audio-waveform-only display in the source monitor does offer a vertical zoom.
    The official help only offers this:
    "To see more volume detail when viewing an audio waveform in a Timeline panel, increase the track height."
    Which seems to imply that 'zooming' in further to bring out the really quiet parts is not a feature.
    I found a bit of a workaround, which is to adjust the clip gain -- the audio waveform changes accordingly. However I'd prefer not to be changing the audio volume every time I need a different vertical zoom on the waveform.
    Thanks,
    3p

    While you can't zoom and the vertical adjustment is limited (which sucks because you can zoom in Audition)` there are still a few more options that might help increase the vertical size of the tracks window.
    First, to adjust the vertical space of each track in the timeline place your selection tool over the line between the tracks over on the left side of the track where audio controls are and drag the track bottom up or down. You can also increase the workspace of the timeline by dragging it up using the same technique, or if you have another monitor put the timeline over there and make it much bigger.
    Second, use the tilde key to expand the entire timeline window. It's the key to the left of #1 key at the top left. Hit it again to return. It will expand any window that is selected. I use this one to get a better look at the waveform. You can also drag the tracks to make them larger.
    good luck!

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut for zooming out my parents' computer's desktop

    I did not witness what happened, but apparently my brother ctrl+scrolled up(and zoomed all the way in) and my mother has been trying to figure out how to zoom it out. We have a Mighty Mouse, but it can not scroll down for some strange reason(It's broken). We somehow got it to zoom all the way out, but we have no clue how we did it. Is there a quick keyboard shortcut to zoom the screen out all the way in case it happens again(or in case I make some video that requires me to zoom in and focus on XCode and I later want to zoom out, seeing as my mother fixed her preferences to not allow it to zoom in)? If so, what is it? Is there also a keyboard shortcut to zoom in, in case we turn scrolling off altogether?

    In the System Preference> Universal Access> panel, you can reverse the
    results of an accidental setting found through a random keyboard command.
    • Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343
    Or, just keyboard: *The use of Option-Command-8 is said to Turn On/Off Zoom*.
    Using a standard USB mouse, be it an old one-button Apple USB or a newer
    two-button PC mouse (no drivers should be needed) you could get past the
    immediate issue of the Mighty Mouse's scroll button problem.
    The Mighty Mouse probably has dust & debris inside the roller-ball assembly.
    There have been some instructions (on how to open/clean & reseal it) online.
    If you attempt to do this, be sure you have a working alternative mouse first.
    *Cleaning Mighty Mouse* involves some skill, dexterity, tools, glue, tedium & time:

  • Defining own zoom in & out keyboard shortcuts

    I have been looking for a decent PDF viewer with tabs for awhile and have found Dioretsa. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dioretsa/id411422230?mt=12 It's pretty great for everything except I'm having problems with the keyboard shortcuts for zoom in and zoom out. I want the behavior to be the same as in most of my programs: [Command and =] for Zoom In and [Command and -] for Zoom Out, both WITHOUT having to use the Shift key.
    In the program the default Zoom In and Zoom Out shortcuts are shown in the picture below. They REQUIRE me to use [Command and Shift and =] and [Command and Shift and -] for zooming in.
    This annoyed me so I wanted to define my own keyboard shortcuts under Keyboard preferences:
    In Dioretsa, it now looks like this:
    Zoom In now works as expected, without needing Shift. However, for Zooming out it doesn't work! I still need to push Shift.
    I noticed how for Zoom Out the hypthen is BOLD here! In Keyboard Preferences it is not! Also you'll notice that there is no Shift key in the default Zoom Out shortcut in Diotretsa!
    This behavior is really bugging me! Can anyone help? I tried setting Zoom Out to [Command and 0] and this works fine without having to use shift!

    Another thing you can try, if you aren't already aware of it, is to put the mouse cursor in whatever you wish to magnify, then hold down the Control key and scroll the mouse ball upwards. Do the same but scroll it downwards to reduce the screen image to normal size. This works on everything on the screen. Takes a little getting used to but I find it quick and handy for a fast look at something too small to see otherwise.

    ya, thanks, already 'discovered' that one by accident...so many shortcuts to learn!!!

  • Audio Waveforms (On Certain Clips Only) Not Displaying

    Long time forum-lurker, first time poster.
    Here's the situation: The nighttime assistant editor created a sequence of B-roll clips for an editor. On both the editor's and the assistant editor's computer, the audio waveforms for these clips are not displaying correctly. Specifically, the symptoms (on both computers) are:
    - Waveforms do not appear in timeline unless zoomed in to maximum or second-to-maximum zoom. When zoomed out farther than that, the "X"es appear.
    - When viewing the clip in the viewer's audio tab, either by double-clicking the sequence clip or match-framing from the sequence, the waveforms do not appear at all until I zoom in to near maximum level. When zooming out after that, the remnants of the zoomed-in waveforms remain on the screen.
    - The waveforms of other clips display correctly.
    I have tried deleting the waveform cache on both computers, changing the location of the waveform cache and restarting, and deleting the preferences on the editor's computer. I have not tried recreating the sequence from the original clips because the daytime assistant editor has more sequences to create and needs to use her computer.
    If anyone can help me, that would be great.
    Here are the specs:
    Assistant Editor's Computer: eMac running Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 and Mac OS 10.4.something (I haven't gotten a chance to run software update).
    Editor's Computer: Dual Processor Power Mac G5 running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and Mac OS 10.4.8.
    Both computers are sharing the same media which is located on our SAN. The Editor's computer (along with two other G5-based editing systems) is connected via FibreChannel. The Assistant Editor's computer (along with a whole bunch of other computers) is connected through our server, which serves the SAN drives as network volumes. Assistant editors create sequences on the eMac and upload the project file to the server, where they are available for the editors to download.
    Power Mac G5 and eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)   SAN: Xserve RAID, CommandSoft FibreJet (not Xsan). Server: Xserve (Intel model)

    Don't know what's going on, but tell us the format of
    the audio.
    It's the audio track from a video clip. All video on this project is DV NTSC. The audio is 48.0 Khz, 16 bit, 2 mono channels.
    Also, try copying
    one audio clip to a local drive and see if the
    problem persists.
    Copied one of the offending clips onto the desktop. Dragged it into the project. Opened it in the viewer and hit the Audio tab. Whaddya know, the waveform appeared.
    I cut a chunk of it into the sequence that is full of clips whose waveforms don't work and turned on "show audio waveforms". Waited for a long time and I still just got the Xes unless I zoomed in really close to the new sequence clip.
    But then I cut a chunk of the newly copied clip into a brand new sequence, turned on audio waveforms in the timeline, and they showed up.
    I don't know if any of this will help to solve my problem, but hopefully it will give someone an idea. I've got an editor who says he's used to editing from waveforms and needs the ability to see them. (Unfortunately, copying media to local drives is not a viable workaround. The media must stay on the SAN.)

  • Audio waveform is just a single bar.  How do I fix this?

    Hello dear community,
    I started editing in FCPX recently and I have had this issue where the audio waveform does not always update when I make updates or it just shows this weird bar w/ the peaks. Can someone please help me with this? I 've tried zooming in and out. Tried changing the timeline view. Still I cannot see wave form. When I adjust audio levels, it does not update. How do I get waveform working and displayed correctly? I have attached a picture.
    Thanks!

    I was able to fix the peaking bar issue by adding a bg noise removal. But my question about rerending the audio waveform still exists.
    Thanks

  • Audio waveform refreshes display slowly on timeline (PrPro CS6)

    Is it just me.
    I LOVE so many things about this new release. The one persistent, "always dealing with" issue I have is I have to wait for the audio waveform to refresh most times when I zoom in and out or even just scroll back and forth on the timeline. This is a huge slowdown/impediment issue for me.
    1. This never happened in previous versions
    2. This is not during indexing ... it's all the time
    3. It happens even when no effects are applied
    4. No, I do not have a slow workstation (CPU, mem, drives all optimal) ... remember, this never happend in previous versions
    5. I have preview files/cache and project/source video on different hard drives
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    There are many issues which are in CS6 and they are not Operator Error. My computer exceeds the minimum requirements of Premiere Pro and still have the same issue. On the other hand I have reinstalled several times but can't get Encore DVD menus, and also the title templates is buggy because I can't access the wedding templates. Supporting the application will not yield any further development to correct these issues. The bottom line was that CS6 was a rushed release since Adobe are giving themselves less time to develop the next version as compared to what they used to do. In less than 9 months they will be releasing 6.5 with fixes to all these issues and we will be forced to pay for the upgrade again becuase there will be no support for 6?? I think Harm get the upgrade for free so that you can continue to support Adobe, even if the software is messed up you will simply turn a blind eye. You should test this on an average system most users use not on your monster!!
