One more reason to use resolve. Adobe is asleep at the wheel on so many things that are basic essentials these days. Time saving features like this request are key.

Omg, I need this feature so bad. It's essential when cutting dialogues. Nothing until now?

This could also be a solution to this problem:

However it is implemented, it's a needed feature for finding audio cues visually when going throug the source files in the source monitor

Nice mockup gus. Wonder if Adobe is onboard with this idea. Davinci Resolver already has this feature.

The old Avid Liquid editing suite had this feature MANY years ago and was always very useful to have available. I miss having this item as one of my daily edit tools.

This would be EXTREMELY useful. As of now, I must wait through long silences in my clips because I don't know precisely when the good stuff starts. This would be SO MUCH FASTER. I really need this.

IT WORKS! I just came back here after googling for how to show both video and waveform in the source window. I didn't find an answer at the time, but today after plugging in an hdmi display as a 2nd monitor to my laptop that after I enabled it in the Premiere > Preference > Playback that when i left the source monitor set on waveform, the external htmi display shows the video at the same time! very helpful! I still agree it should be an option to show them both on the same display pane, but at least it's possible! It's also very nice to have a full monitor output switch between the source and timeline automatically.

You can see the waveform and video on the timeline, which allows you to edit that way. But it sure would be helpful to have the video and waveform both viewable in the source monitor at the same time. It would also be helpful to have a waveform overlay. Please add this.
