Sorry to post twice but I need some help on this
I shot an event where the syncing of two cameras is very critical and I need to see the audio waveform of both cameras. When I load one of the av files into the viewer or place it on the timeline I hear all of the audio but there is no visible waveform of the clip. I am pushing the Option/Apple/W keys and all I see are grey “X” spaced along the audio in a1 & a2. The files are on a Lacie FW drive. Now if I unplug the Lacie and plug it into my PowerBook G4 and load the project and the clip I can see the audio waveform on the same clip. I compared settings on both the G4 and the G5 and they are the same. Now I can place the clip from the other camera in the Viewer or the Timeline and I can see its audio wave form in both places.
What the heck is causing this?

Trash your user/FCP data prefs and restart you computer, may should help

You can also try to trash Waveform Cache Files in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder.

This is really strange. I can clearly see all the waveform on A1 and A2 but just the Xs on A3 and A4. I just zoomed in on the timeline and I can see the A3 and A4 waveform. But it is so zoomed in I can’t find my self. If I zoom out one time it is gone. Let me try the waveform cache files.

It won’t hurt if I delete all of the kgwv files? There is over 1 gig of data and 492 files in there. Is this because of poor housekeeping? If so, how often do I clean this out? There are files in there that were created in 12/04.

I have waveforms!! Still wondering about the housekeeping. Thanks

Try making your timeline tracks bigger. (wider/taller) The waveforms don’t show up when the timeline is set to the smallest tracks. Go to a larger size and spread them out for detail. They should appear then.

The two audio tracks didn’t show up at any setting on the timeline or in the Viewer until I deleted all of the waveform files in Final Cut Pro Documents. I guess it was getting bogged down refreshing the screen.
