I am running Animate CC 2019 ( 19.1)

In oldest version i used to put an audio file on a frame to saw the waveform at real time on the bar. Now in this version I am not able to do the same.

Waht am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

    Those are the captures of the waveform of Cowbell.wav in Audition, the waveform on the extended 300% layer of Animate and the info of the audio file:


    And/or use Audition and convert Cowbell.wav to a Bits por muestra: 16 (16Bit) audio file and import that one to Animate.

    Hi alvaroo

    When you say "i used to put an audio file on a frame" I assume you put it into a keyframe in a layer in the Timeline. From that keyframe you have to have enough frames until the end or next keyframe that the duration of the audio file fits into the duration of your frame span.

    If you are building for HTML5 Canvas you can only select Sync: Event in the Property Panel. That means you can hear the sound only if you start the playhead in that keyframe where your sound file starts.

    If you are building for SWF and Actionscript 3 you can either select Event, which is similar to above, or you select Stream, which means you can hear your sound starting anywhere in the timeline, even in a loop.

    This is how the toolbar looks:


    Try making the layer 300%; It may help see it better. Right-click on layer and choose 'Properies'

    Maybe your audio is just too quiet?
