  • Premiere CS6 waveforms not updating

    Posted by Dan Roesch on May 16, 2012 at 1:35 pm

    I have a timeline with mpg clips in it. When I load the project, the waveforms are slow to show up. Then whenever I zoom to another level on the timeline, they disappear and take forever to come back. It seems like Premiere CS6 isn’t conforming audio on import anymore either. Could that explain the slow update?

    Is your system adequate enough for CS6?

    Send one of the clips’ audio track to Audition and then bring it right back as rendered and replaced. See if you get the same results. Just curious. I’ve seen PCM conversion issues in the past though none in quite a while.

    I’m having the same problem too, and it’s extremely annoying. Never had this problem in CS5. I hope they fix this in an update or something

    Thought I was having this problem as well (with very long MPEG clips and WAV files)–just takes it a few seconds to rebuild the waveform anytime you zoom the timeline. Which is pretty lame. Try letting it sit there for a bit and see if it works.

    I’m still having this issue, too. I installed latest drivers as was recommended to me by an Adobe Forum member, to no avail.

    Anyone figured out a setting or whatever to fix this? It is sad you have to wait so long for the audio waveform to be visible. This is what I need right away to sync multiple timelines.

    What a drag!

    Audio waveform refreshes display slowly on timeline

    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, memory, drives all optimal) … remember, this never happend in previous versions

    5. I have preview files/cache and project/source video on different hard drives

    This has got to be a CS6 bug.
    I’m experiencing exactly the same thing.

    I’ve stripped the audio track, make copies in Audition and even GoldWave and put them back… no joy.

    Adoughby needs to fix this.

    Hey,
    Best workaround so far I’ve found is Replace Asset/Footage > (find same source file) and it’ll re-load it and usually refresh the waveform successfully.

    Adobe software is one step away from a virus.

    Yes this is no good. Been a year since the release. Hello Adobe you there??

    In Premiere Pro,
    Select the track,
    Clip > Audio Options > Rander and Replase

    Work fine for me.
