I miss the WAVEFORM in the viewer window..
like in Final Cut. I’ve been cutting exclusively on Avid Adrenaline systems for a little over a year after 3 years of FCP editing at a different post house.
I do a lot of music editing and mixing in Avid and miss Final Cuts waveform view of audio in the viewer window.
I know you can turn on the waveform in the avid timeline… but it can bog things down and be annoying.
Anyone else frustrated that you can view waveforms in Avid viewer window … it makes sound editing far more time-consuming than in Final Cut.
Any tips or tricks or suggestions for quicker sound editing in Avid?
Thx,

Because Avid is so far behind the times with audio, you will find that you will start leaning more and more on your ear. I havn’t opened a waveform in many years as it’s just too much of a ram hog to be productive. I tap my foot and cut to the beat. I like to put edits on the kick drum both in and out so I can match em up. Now, I do turn caps lock on sometimes so I can job through and hear the exact frme I need to cut on. I also add lil disolves. Old habbit from when avid made lil pops on audio cuts. Still makes for a smoother transition, imo.
I mark in on the fly, then do the job thang when needed. If you try to pause for that in mark, it’ll be off a couple of frames.
