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
Add objects to the Timeline on page 87.

Audio Timeline.
•

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
