waveform does not update when adjusting volume inside a nest

I create multicam sequences, and then cut those into the main timeline.

If I update the Gain on audio tracks within the multicam, the waveform adjusts as expected.

However, the waveform does not update in the main timeline. It used to do this, and now does not.

The audio meters correctly report the audio volume.

 

For instance:

1. Add 6dB of gain to clips within multicam sequence. The waveform updates to show increased gain as expected.

2. Go over to main sequence and cut in this multicam sequence. The waveform shows the audio volume as it was before the gain was adjusted.

 

Even if I completely zero out the gain in the multicam to -96dB, the waveforms in the main sequence stay as-is. Again, the audio meters are correct and do not show any audio volume.

 

I've noticed this (I believe) Premiere 25. Earlier versions of Premiere did not have this issue.

Premiere 25.1, MacOS 15.3.2

Hi @Transposition Films - I have logged this bug.  Have you tried using the essential sound panel?  There is a feature called "Loudness" if you select all of your clips on the timeline and click Auto-Match Premiere will match all of your dialogue to a standard loudness for you.

The multicams are interviews. I like to set the dialogue levels for each mic inside the multicam/nested sequence (to about -12dB), so when I drop it into the main edit, the audio levels are already roughly at the right place. The alternative is having to set the levels on each clip segment after I drop into the main edit in the timeline, so this saves a lot of time in the long run.

Hi @Transposition Films -  Thanks for submitting your bug report. 

 

I see your issue and will get a bug report filed.  Is there a reason you are updating the audio within the multicam instead of in the timeline?

Sorry for the frustration.
