    Has anyone else been having problems with 5.1.2 and waveforms in master clips? Each time I open an audio clip in the viewer I’ll either get waveforms just fine, or nothing at all. quitting and restarting doesn’t help. Any ideas?

    Michael,

    Try trashing the waveforms in the waveform cache. They will rebuild next time you open your project and they will probably be okay afterward.

    Same problem here. New system stats:

    FCP 5.1.2
    OSX 10.4.8
    2 x 3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon
    4 GB 667 DDR2 FB-DIMM (FCP System Settigns / Memory & Cache showing App Max Usage 2560 MB?)
    SAN / Editshare via 10gb ethernet
    Kona 3 / 3.1

    I am sending my autosave vault and waveform/thumbnail caches to my secondary 500GB internal drive.

    I can zoom in as far as I can and see hte Waveform then back out once and still see it. Anything beyond that I get little grey x’s. I have searched both the cow and Apples discussion forums.

    Deleted prefs via FCP rescue , Dumped waveform cache. Tried moving waveform cache to boot drive and SAN.

    Does it go all black when you zoom out, too. Looks like we have the exact same setup.

    i have yet to see black. For myself it continues to be grey but tiny x’s appear along the horizontal line where the level line would be. I am ging to run through some scenarios to see if it is isolated to one kind of audio track i.e. captured vs. imported .aiff
