Generate Audio Waveform not working

Frequently the audio waveforms on my clips do not show so, I go to: Clip > Generate Audio Waveform

Unfortunately, nothing happens.

For example, I just created a New Sequence from a Multicam Source and the audio in A1 has no waveforms. I know that I can Render the Audio, which will produce the waveforms, but even that does not guarantee the waveforms won't disappear later. I am just wondering what is the purpose of the "Generate Audio Waveform" since it does nothing (not even an error message).

Cheers,

    Try unlinking the audio then right-click> Render and Replace. This worked for me hope it helps 🙂

    Usually generate audio form works for me when I don't see waveforms in an imported sequence, but your suggestion worked instantly. Went into the imported sequence, unlinked the original clip, rendered and replaced the audio, relinked, went back into the main sequence and audio was there again.

    I believe Jason is correct. Happens fairly regularly and scattered about when using multi-cam clips.

     

    I can get most back by rendering audio also, but the next boot they are gone.

    If there is one (or more) specific enough that already has votes, then that would be good. Start another if they are not describing the issue we see. I know for sure it was doing it with 2019, and I think 2018 also.

    How about a screen-grab of your screen with the audio waveforms missing?

    Drag/drop the png file into your reply ... it would help to see your sequence area, including the header/control block on the left side.

    Almost 2 years later and they still haven't solved this problem. What the hey, Adobe?
