    One of our editors noticed that when he edits in the video track, the audio waveforms disappear and redraw it. Is that normal? We deleted FCP preferences, FCP plist, deleted waveform cache and restarted the computer and still doing the same thing. In his sequence settings/timeline options/track displays the show keyframe overlays, show audio waveforms, show through edits and show duplicate frames are checked.

    That is weird. Sometimes when you zoom in quickly, or change the size of the clips in the timeline it will cause the waveforms to be redrawn. Have you tried closing out of FCP and repairing your disk permissions?

    What format are you working with? When you open the clip in the viewer, does it show you the waveform, or is it black?
