Audio Waveform not showing?

In my case, I had mistakenly dragged the media onto Audio/Video Tracks 2 but I didn't have any content on Tracks 1. Once I dragged the media from Track 2 to Track 1, the waveform showed up again.

Try render and replace, if the sequence settings and original audio file don't match up you may loose the waveform but  render and replace will conform the audio to the sequence.

I had this same problem but on all my channels. Just found the fix....which was annoyingly easy! Your problem might not be the same as it's specific to one track, but for anyone else;

It was simply the settings for the timeline had changed with an update. just needed to click to show waveform!

I had the same issue. The waveforms on the audio file were not showing in the sequence and Source monitor. You can see a screen shot below. The easiest and fastest solution is to bring the original audio file into Media Encoder and export that audio file as a new copy. If you look at my screen shot you can see that the last two audio clips are the same. The left audio clip was exported from Media Encoder which has the waveforms and the right audio clip(original) doesn't.

SOLVED in Premiere Elements 13!  Seemingly at random, an audio track would not display its waveform!!!

In this screenshot, the Close Audio and Tascam tracks show their waveforms, but Wide Audio does not:

The secret is that the icon of the speaker next to the title of the track is a button that toggles the waveform view on and off.

FYI, the filmstrip icon next to the video track has a similar function and cycles views of the video clip.

I had the same problem, and the solution is to ensure the audio clip in question is contained in your Project panel, e.g., see the below screen shot:

Dale,

I have EXACTLY the same problem...

I an trying to sync a video with a song and want to change from one still image to another on the snare drum (for example).

If I could see the wave form, I could set the transition at the start of the peak in the wave form.

Bill/Steve,

I have the the song in the sound track track and I can not increase the vertical height of the track as you have described .

Is it possibe that the ability to see an audio tracks waveform is something they left out of the "Elements" version of the program?

Which Audio Track is the Audio Clip in?

Did you allow the Conforming to complete 100%? This ARTICLE goes into more detail.

Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.
