Timeline View for Clips in the Preview Panel

Report · Feb 10, 2025

Hi everyone,

one feature I really miss in Premiere Pro, which I previously used in Avid, is the ability to view a clip in the Preview panel as a timeline. The big advantage of this timeline view is that you can precisely analyze the waveform before setting In and Out points.

Right now, my workflow in Premiere requires me to place all my raw footage on a separate timeline just to inspect the waveform properly, and then copy the selected parts into my master timeline. This feels unnecessarily cumbersome.

A native timeline view in the Preview panel would significantly improve the workflow, especially for editors who rely heavily on audio waveforms for their cuts.

Does anyone else think this would be useful? Please upvote if you think this would help your workflow too! 😊

I don't know if this would help you but if you double click on the clip in the Project Panel you can then click on the waveform button in the Source Monitor. to see the waveform in the Source Monitor.
