Waveform disappearing in the Timeline

The audio Waveform is constantly disappearing and reappearing from the Timeline with this latest update v13.1.4 build 2. When I scroll left to right or zoom into the timeline, the waveform disappears and reappears without logic. As a result I am unable to visually edit to the audio piece and have to scrub through it to hear the audio instead.

Please fix!

Hello the bug is still present in Premiere 24.6.4 like in previous versions.  When placing a sequence into the timeline of another newly created sequence it would display the waveform, until you start cut edits and then shortly the waveform would be repalced with a straight line. And doesn't matter if you delete that nested sequence and bring it from the project library again, the waveform is not shown anymore. It is so frustrating not to be able to see waveforms when you edit!

Hi @Kevin-Monahan I have not seen the bug in the last version, but will report as I update to the latest in the coming days.

Hello @oneframeoff & others on the thread,

Thanks for the bug report. Is it possible to provide more details so that the team can reproduce this error reliably? See, How do I write a bug report?

 

With more info, I hope the team can provide a solution for you ASAP. Sorry for the frustration.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Select ALL of the clips.

Change colour

Done!

(sometimes it works if you only select one clip, but i find it always seems to work if i choose all of them

Hope this helps!

This STILL hasn't been fixed... Im switching to Davinci Resolve for timeline editing, this makes this software useless, need to scrub thru HOURS of footage instead of just looking for visual cues in my audio tracks to edit properly, it kills my workflow and makes editing worse by a million.

I'm having the same issue.  It is driving me crazy.  Problem seems to be worse when I am using multicam sequences.

Happening with me now! I just moved from windows to mac and now I have this strange problem, do let me know if anyone got answers

This is happening with me, even in the source monitor with VO's.
I generate the waveform, then it randomly disappears and I have to regenerate it.
