  • Find Audio Peaks?

    Is there any way to have PPro quickly scan a sequence and locate any audio overload points? I can do this in FCP but can’t seem to find similar functionality in PPro. Thanks much for any advice.

    You can hit “K” 4 times to go to the fastest forward playback, that should pass through the timeline fairly quickly and identify any peaking.

    In most cases, I use the dynamics filter with compression to each clip, so any peaking would be identified at this point.

    For a quick and dirty way, you could normalize the master track.

    Anyone find any new ideas about this since it’s been several years?
    I really miss being able to just have all the peaks marked like in FCP7!

    I wondered if a plugin has been created to do this?

    Hi All

    Has anyone found a solution to this???

    FCP7 had this ridiculously efficient functionality from around 2002. Do we really need to rewatch an entire cut in this day and age, or trust PPro to flag an overloading peak when playing back in ffwd! But I guess as long as we can edit VR in PPro all is good right ;-(

    All the best,
    Caine
