FCP won’t draw waveforms in the timeline!
I’ve just been given a Mac Pro tower to edit on loaded with FCP 605. I’ve plugged my firewire drive in to it and it all looked ok to start with … but it won’t draw waveforms in the timeline, which is infuriating! Is there a cache file or something that I need to set?
I was working on a MacBook Pro with FCP 606. That drew the waveforms fine.
What should I check to get the tower to draw the waveforms?

check your sequence settings – its an option in the timeline tab.

Even when I match framed clips to the viewer on the tower, it wouldn’t draw the waveforms.
I’m back on to my MacBook Pro, as the tower had a big crash and I don’t trust it!
Must be something to do with not seeing the Waveform Cache Files folder, coz when I recorded VO on the tower the waveform appeared, but now when I open the sequence on the MacBook, all the original waveforms appear, but NOT the ones for the VO I recorded on the tower.
Strange.

delete waveform cache files. reset where they go in system settings. should force a redraw if not the usual trash prefs etc

Try deleting your audio render files and turning off Auto Render in the user settings. I see this issue from time to time when working between two systems and one of systems has auto render turned on.

Will try and get the machine to behave on Monday!
