Viewing Audio Files
You can view a listing of all the audio tracks in your project and view the audio
waveform for an individual track. You can also view information about each track,
including its duration, sample rate, and file size. In the Audio tab, each channel in a
multichannel audio file—or each track in a multitrack file—can be selected separately.

enough. If the bar does not contain a waveform, adjust the height of the bars in the
Timeline. For more information about how to adjust Timeline tracks, see “

Waveform button at the lower-left corner of the pane.

Keyframe Editor allows you to view the waveform of any individual audio track in the
project or the master track.
