Hold Command to scrub through the audio too.

[Joshua Casper]

Is there a way to generate that waveform in the project itself?

[Daniel Waldron]

Drop the Audio Waveform effect on a solid.

Actually I think the question is a little bit different. You are talking about two different things. The audio waveform effect generates a dynamic effect based on the sound at the current time. However I believe the question is referring to the static waveform you see when you twirl down the audio. Is there a way to create that image (static – peak file essentially) in an after effects project?

Why are you going back so far and posting on really old questions

[Jeremy Dance]

For me it is a current question. I’d like to know how to generate a static peak file that I can use to show progress through a song.

And because these forums are searchable. Most of the time the questions I’ve had in after effects have been answered by threads that are old.
