To view the waveform of an audio track
µ
Select an audio file or channel of a multichannel file in the Audio list, then do one of the
following:
• Click the Show/Hide Audio Timeline button in the lower-right corner of the Motion
project window.
The Audio Timeline opens (in the Timing pane), displaying a green bar containing the
waveform of the file, if the Audio Timeline row size is tall enough. If the bar does not
show a waveform, adjust the height of the tracks. For more information about how to
adjust Timeline tracks, see Showing and Hiding Effects.
Important: In a multichannel audio file, all audio channels in the file appear in the
Audio Timeline.
• Click the Show/Hide Keyframe Editor button in the lower-right corner of the Motion
project window, then choose an option from the waveform pop-up menu at the
top-right side of the Keyframe Editor.
The waveform of the track appears in the Keyframe Editor, along with keyframes, if the
Timeline tracks are tall enough.
Note: If there are multiple audio tracks in the project, by default only the waveform of
the master track appears in the Keyframe Editor. To view individual tracks, choose a
track name from the waveform pop-up menu at the top-right side of the Keyframe
Editor.
