Audio Waveform Visualization

Key Features

• Real-Time Generation - Waveform generates automatically when video opens in editor
• Visual Audio Representation - See audio amplitude across entire video timeline
• Speech Pattern Identification - Easily spot where you're speaking vs. silence
• Silence Detection Aid - Visual confirmation of silent sections before removing
• Zoom Responsive - More detail appears as you zoom into timeline
• Playhead Synchronization - Current position highlighted on waveform
• Frame-Accurate Editing - Find exact frames between words for clean cuts
• Cached for Performance - Waveform cached after first generation for instant reloading
• Multiple Channels - Stereo audio shows combined waveform
• Color-Coded Amplitude - Higher amplitude = darker/taller waveform
• Timeline Integration - Waveform displays directly below video timeline
• Subtitle Timing Reference - Use waveform to verify subtitle timing accuracy
• Cut Point Identification - Find natural pauses between sentences visually

Why You'll Love It

Editing video blindly is guesswork. Seeing the audio makes finding cut points, verifying timing, and understanding content structure instant and precise. The waveform turns audio editing from tedious to intuitive.

Pro Tips

• Look for valleys (low amplitude) to find silence and good cut points
• Peaks indicate speech - avoid cutting in the middle of visible peaks
• Zoom in for frame-accurate editing at word boundaries
• Silence detection works better when you can see the waveform confirming flat sections
• Subtitle timing is easier to adjust when you see where speech actually starts/ends
• Consistent amplitude suggests consistent speaking volume - good for professional content
• Sudden peaks might be coughs, pops, or background noise to remove
• Waveform caching means editing the same video again is instant
• Use waveform to identify pacing - evenly spaced peaks = good flow
• Natural pauses between sentences show as brief flat sections - perfect cut points
