missing audio waveforms
In some projects I see audio waveforms but not in others. Yes, it’s turned on. I’m using fcp5.1 on a macbookpro.
Any idea what I’m missing here? -

Depending on your zoom level on the timeline and the length of teh clips, waveforms may not show up on some clips until you zoom very far in. Shorter clips will sometimes not show the waveform depending on the zoom level.

Thanks Walter, but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. It’s more like a bug.

Is there actually audio on the clips where the waveforms are missing?
You can trash your Thumbnails and Waveform cache. Definitely no waveforum bug here running FCP 5.0 and 5.1 on multiple systems.

oh yes, I can hear it loud and clear

I also have x’s in the timeline where the waveforms should be

Does making the tracks a little taller help?

Did you try trashing the waveform and thumbnail cache as Walter suggested?

Yes i did, but still I get x’s. Not on all clips, but almost all regardless of their size.
