I have to edit clips with long periods between dialogue, would be very conveniant to be able to quickly jump to the correct parts without slowly scrubbing through.
Going on 4 years now and this hasn't been addressed. I just read Adobe surpassed 26 million creative cloud subscribers with a yearly revenue of $10+Billion. If you split that up across the ~20 products adobe offers in its creative cloud, that's $500 MILLION Premiere Pro takes in per year.
This suggestion has been around for 4 years. Its #8 of the 10 most popular suggestions, and the only one that hasn't been acknowledged.
This is welcomed news. As a sidenote, it does sound as though some people don't realize that you CAN see the audio waveform in the source window by clicking on the audio icon (drag audio) at the bottom of the image -- just not simultaneously with the picture.
yes, not everyone wants to be forced to use a timeline to see both picture and waveform at the same time to choose selects.
video and waveform in the source viewer is curcial for speed with 3-point editing and match framing to find alternative takes as well as making selects.
I was looking for this function aswell.......but actually foud something even better!
1. Make a sequence of all the clips from your camera
2. Drag that sequence into the source monitor
3. Click on the little wrench at the bottom right in your source monitor
4. Choose "open sequence in timeline"
5. Make your programme sequences and source sequence visible by stacking them.
6. click on the "insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" buttom (to the left of snap in timeline button)
7. and now you can edit from the top sequence (source) into the bottom sequence (programme) and see everything you want like waveforms and where every source clip starts ands ends.
This guy explains it even better in a video and in 30 seconds.
Guys... really... this is an ABSOLUTE MUST for any kind of dialog editing..talking heads, interviews with multi cam, etc. lets go lets go!...Come on Jessica!!
One interesting and flexible way to implement this would be to allow users to load any clip or sequence into the reference monitor and then gang the reference monitor to either source or program. This would allow users to view the waveform in the source viewer, and see picture in the reference monitor. This would also address the general inflexibility in the feature set of the reference monitor and make it a more useful tool. I do think, though, that there should be a more robust option whereby the ability to view picture and waveform simultaneously without using Mecury Transmit to playback on a separate monitor that doesn't involve the potentially brittle 'gang monitor' function.
