No audio wave in timeline (2)

#1

Hello,
I’m sorry to open a new topic, but the previous one was closed while the problem is not resolved for me.
I am under OSX El Capitan and I used SC 18.01.02
I upgraded to SC 18.11.02
All projects made with SC 18.01 and opened with SC 18.11 do not have the waveform in the timeline.
If I create a new project with SC 18.11 I still do not have the waveform in the timeline.
I have of course tested everything that was said in the previous topic, without success.

So I tried to replace the SC 18.11 “timeline.qml” file with that of SC 18.01, but of course it did not work. So I handed over the original SC 18.11 file and started SC for a new project.
The first video file opened and filed on the timeline has the waveform, but unfortunately not the following ones.
I save the project and if I open it again, it’s the same I only have the first clip that has the waveform.
If I run SC for a new project, none of the clips have the waveform.
Hopefully this will help you fix this bug.
cordially

Shotcut version 18.11.18 is the latest (at the time of this post).

Make sure you are aware of the following settings.
Waveforms On
2018-12-04_09-07-48
Waveforms Off
2018-12-04_09-05-42

While you may or may not be aware of this, others reading may not be.

Using Windows 10 64-bit, Shotcut Version 18.11.18, I was not able to reproduce this issue. There was some issue with the audio waveforms a while back, but those have been fixed.

Thank you for your reply.
I made a mistake in my first post, I installed SC 18.11.18
The box “Show Audio Waveforms” is ticked

So maybe this is a problem related to OSX El Capitan

Maybe you have tried various files, maybe not.

Click on the 2nd file in your timeline, and go to Properties.
Shotcut only recognizes 1 audio track (2 channels) per video file. If you have 2 audio tracks, track 1 perhaps muted, while track 2 contains all of your audio, try switching to track 2 in this selection. By default on a Video file, track 1 audio is always selected.

I have the audio set to none, and the waveform goes away.

And if there is no audio at all, this is what will display

I did not apply any filters on these videos
In this picture, they are the same clips but reversed.
Clip # 2 that did not have the waveform now has it since it is first.
Conversely, the # 1 clip that had the waveform no longer has it since it is second16
I only have one audio track on the clips

But I just discovered something that could help you
I run SC and select “open a file”
My first file is loading.
If I click on + (timeline) to put it on the timeline, it owns the waveform.
If I first click on + (playlist) and then on + (timeline) it does not have the waveform
But for the second file, whatever the order, the file never has the waveform

I only have one audio track on the clips

I tried to reproduce it following these steps, but it worked for me. If I cannot reproduce, I cannot fix it:

Thank you Dan,
I understand that it is difficult for you to fix this issue.
I just downloaded SC 18.11.18 on my Macbook with OSX Yosemite, and it works.
So the problem is either OSX El Capitan or a file that SC needs and I do not have or that is corrupted. But I have to find which one. Maybe someone on this forum has an idea ?

Maybe it is somehow related to the number of CPU threads (cores * hyperthreads) you have since background threads are responsible for waveforms and other things. But the number of background threads is intentionally limited by the number of CPU threads to prevent over-utilization. Yes, it could also be an OS version related issue. What are the CPU thread counts on your two machines. Meanwhile, I can try to reproduce it with this new information.
