Audio waveform does not appear in the timeline

FAQ ID:000025852 | Date:2023/10/24

I placed a clip onto the timeline and expanded audio track. But audio waveform is invisible

Prerequisites

– Placed clip should have audio and the format should be supported by EDIUS.

– Confirm both by following steps: Install a program that displays technical information about media files – in this knowledge base, MediaInfo is installed. Open the problem file (no auido waveform appears in EDIUS) in the MediaInfo.

– Confirm below two points in the tool

If selected clip satisfies the requirements, try below troubleshooting:

3) Tick ‘Create waveform cache files in project folder’

4) Click [Apply] > [OK]

5) Remove the clip from both Bin and timeline then reregister into the Bin
