Waveform display in nested sequences

[Aanarav Sareen]

You will have to render the sequence, in order for you to see the waveform.

Thanks for the input but it does not work for me.

In my main sequence I now have six or more clips that are nested sequencies.
As I mentioned above, for some reason, the first two of them shows the waveforms (i do not know why and they did not do it when I put them there) and these sequencies are not rendered, i.e. they have red bar on top.
I tried prerender some of the other sequencies as you suggested but it makes no difference, still no waveform showing up in the main sequence.

best regards

Hi again!

I see. Maybe you were referring to prerender the main sequence where the nested comps are placed because that seems to get the job done!

Thanks Aaron.

Yes, that’s what was meant. In order for PPro to show you a waveform, there has to be an audio file somewhere to compute it from. A nested sequence has the potential to have many audio tracks mixed together and computing what the “composite” audio waveform might look like from the mix (as opposed to simply mapping the sound from one clip)would typically just take too much computing power.

It makes sense what you are saying and it works just fine now.

Thanks again to you both (and sorry Aanarav for writing your name as Aaron in my last post)
