Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Audio waveforms disappeared from clips in timeline

  • Audio waveforms disappeared from clips in timeline

    Posted by Michael Diamond on August 31, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    When I open some projects in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and open a sequence, the video from the clips will be there but not the audio waveform. The audio clips will show up, but there is no waveform and no audio plays. When I drag the clip to the source monitor and play it, no audio comes out. The only way to get the audio back is to reclip all of the audio tracks and bring them into the sequence again. Sometimes when I do this, other audio clips will come back and play. It’s not lost forever, but it is annoying to have to re-edit all the audio, especially on longer projects.

    I’m having the same problem, and that link didn’t solve it. Here’s a screen shot of what’s going on: https://hearsomethingcountry.com/myspace/bp/screenshot.jpg

    It’s the “Brad P” audio I’m having a problem with. When I double click it in the timeline and get it into the source window, it’s still not playing audio, BUT when I select the original clip from the Project window, the audio is playing just fine.

    Any clue what’s going on?

    Can you reproduce the problem in a new test project?

    Cheers

    Not sure what you’re asking.

    [Matt Petty] “Not sure what you’re asking.”

    Create a new project, import the “Brad P” clip and put it on the timeline.

    Do you get a waveform?

    Cheers

    Thanks for your help, but I had to drop back and punt. I was up against a deadline (last Friday), so I just redid the whole damned thing. Not cool.

    Thanks again for helping out.

    Is it at all possible the mixer panel had that layer on mute?
    It wouldn’t show in the timeline – only in the mixer.

    Not sure if your problem was caused by copying/pasting some clips from one project to another. If it was, try this:

    1) make sure to select the TRACK that the affected CLIP is on.

    2) move the cursor over the affected CLIP.

    3) hit the “M” key.

    Done. Waveform and audio is back.

    For sure in CS6

    This is most certainly an issue where you “copy” part of a timeline in a project to your clipboard…. close that project….then open another project and paste it into that new timeline.

    You can get your edits and waveforms back again!

    Simply right click onto the audio waveform in your timeline, click on “audio channels” and turn on the left and right channels again.

    Yup, that just happened to me. Pasted a sequence from a previous version of the project into a new one and lost audio in two of my music tracks. The waveform area just showed up as a brown nothing when the clips were expanded; right-clicking and re-enabling the audio channels fixed it!
