Viewing audio clips


You can view an audio clip's Volume or Pan rubberbands and its waveform in the Timeline. You can also view an audio clip in its own window, which is useful in situations such as setting precise In and Out points (see Setting an audio source In point between timebase divisions).

To view audio clips:

Do one of the following:
  • To view the audio waveform of a clip in the Timeline, click the triangle to the left of the audio track name, and then click the Waveform icon (). Make sure that you have set the Draw Audio When View n or Closer option in the Timeline Window Options dialog box to a figure that allows for the display of a waveform (for more information on the Draw Audio When View n or Closer option, see Customizing the Timeline window).
  • To view an audio clip in its own window when it is currently in the Timeline, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you double-click the clip.
  • To always view an audio clip in its own window, choose Preferences > General, select Open Movies in Clip Window, and click OK.
  • To override the current window preference for viewing clips (described in the previous paragraph), press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you double-click a clip in the Project window. For example, if you set your preferences to open clips in their own windows, pressing Alt/Option opens a clip in the Source view.
