FCP5 Audio ?
Its been about 2 weeks since we switched over to FCP5 from our Media 100’s. Love it but one little annoyance. The file name on the audio track really manages to get in the way when I get in to edit. I know I should edit it in the edit window but old habits die hard, can this be turned off by any chance.
Thanks

I have the same complaint and can’t find a way to turn it off… but as a work around I temporarily change the size of the problem track to make it “taller” and then the waveform can be clearly seen without the track name interferring.

Thanks I will try that. I wonder if there will ever be perfect software.

Are you editing on the Sequence Timeline or in the Viewer?
Double click your clip to put it in the Viewer and then drag the audio tab to the Sequence Timeline window. You should then have an editable audio waveform the length of your Timeline Sequence window. You can zoom in to any level and still be able to see a lot more of your audio than you would in the Viewer. It will not increase the default height that you see in the Viewer, but you should have more information than just editing in your program sequence track height.
When you are done just CTRL+click (contextual menu) the tab and select Close.

I have been editing in the timeline. I especially like to do the initial cleanup on the timeline, ie. trimming front and back of music, v/o’s etc, and the major cuts.

One of the complaints about M100 editing was an audio pop sometimes at edit points.
An advantage of FCP is the you can change levels with keyframes within one frame or 1/30 of a sec. I use this technique to clean up audio pops–cause by ambient background noise, breaths or the producer stepping on the interviwee’s response–without changing the in and out point of the whole V1,A1,A2 clip.
