Hi all, I've haveing a problem where I can only see the Aduio Waveform when my editing timeline in zoomed in really close.

I've attached a jpeg to show what I mean. The timeline on top is zoomed in and Audio waveform can be seen, but if I zoom out a bit more (bottom timeline) the Audio Waveform disappears.

 

Thanks 

 

Footage is in Mp4 from Sony ZV-1

I'm running 15.4.1 (Build 6) on PC

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

I re-encode the footage and now am able to see the Audio Waveform on the timeline. 

WIll check with client later as to the audio setting he had while recording. 

 

Cheers

The only thing that helped me with this issue was deleting all media cache files. Its avaliable to click only when no projects are open, and adobe restarts automaticlly. On openning the project, it will generate peak files and audio waveforms will show.

Hiya.

 

You don't even need to re-encode the audio - literally select the hamburger in the sequence name tab and set to show audio waveforms instead of rectified.

I forgot about this thread and finally found a fix ! All you have to do is delete the temporary files (Audio / Video previews, etc.). It will force Premiere to regenerate all of the waveforms and now my project is back to normal 🙂 


thanks it worked! delete cache guys

Your audio is set to show the content as Rectified instead of as a waveform, as for some bizarre reason this is the default setting. Please see the attached image - to access this screen, simply click on the little hamburger icon just to the right of the sequence name - the area in question is just to the left of the drop-down list in the screenshot and looks just like a hamburger with 3 horizontal lines

All you need to do is as I have, and untick 'Rectified Audio Waveforms' and things will be right back to normal

Thanks Neil, although it did not solve my problem, I learned something new !

Hi there,

 

This does not look ideal. Could you test the issue after cleaning media cache ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-how-to-clear-your-cache-in-premiere-pro-2019/td-p/8324672 ) and resetting the preferences ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-premiere-pro/td-p/8236158#8632389 )?

 

Let us know if it brings any change.

 

Regards,

Shivangi
