Hi,

Sometimes the audio waveform just does not show up even thoug there is audio...

I tried selcting the tracks, muting, unmuting, nothing seems to work. How to fix?

Have you tried going to Sequence > Render Audio?

I have one source sequence, where it is currently working, and one where it's not.

Hi! I use multicam to sync audio for editing and wanted to follow up on this! Today I learned that you can see the audio waveform of multicam clips as long as there is only one unmuted audio track, and the output mix has just one channel. Do the following to make it render so you can edit more quickly:

THANK YOU, JAMES!

That solve totally did the trick for me and way cleaner than having to render or otherwise adjust the clip/sequence.

I found this worked.
Right click layer - multicam - unselect enable option - then reselect enable.

I gave that a try, it didn't do anything for me.

Hey Myer, I work with multicam sequences on a daily basis, it's been years since I have had such problems, have you tried my workflow (no audio effects, no levels keyframes inside of multicamera sequence)?

If you add any keyframe to any audio clip inside of your multicam sequence, the waveform will just disappear in your main sequence, that's why I never do that.

Besides rendering audio as Phillip suggested you may find right-click on audio and choosing Multi-camera > flatten to be useful

Also, if you apply any audio effect to any clip in your multicam sequence, the waveform will just disappear in your main sequence, so you may apply those effects in your main timeline to avoid the problem

Mine does that too. 'Render Audio' brings it back until the next restart of PP. It's not the most informative screenshot. I take it that really tall track is the MCam audio. I gave up trying to fix it.
