I noticed similar behaviour. It happens with clips from my Nikon D3300 as well as screen recordings from Bandicam. Both use the AAC codec I believe and 48 KHz.
There is a simple fix for me. I just save the project, quit PD16, and launch it again. Then the waveforms show up for me ![]()
I am having this problem and this is a half solution for me. It worked on a brand new project with 1 video; the waveform was missing, I saved and closed PD16 and restarted, and it showed up. But the waveform still doesn't show up on a big project where I really want it. That project was started with the trial version of PD16 and I have never seen waveforms in it.
All of my video clips are MTS files with AC-3 audio tracks. My soundtrack is an MP3 file and I don't see waveforms there either.

PepsiMan, several hours and many edits later I have had no more crashes. I have a better feeling about this now. I have hardware accelleration off and under Produce I have "Fast video rendering" off. I still think this is faster than PE. Thanks again for the help!

hello.
try disabling all HA(hardware acceleration) and use only the cpu for editing and final rendering.
Thanks, PepsiMan, that was a good suggestion. OpenCL was already off, and "Enable hardware decoding" was on and after turning it off, PD 16 crashed. My daughter was using the latest PD 11 build 3625 on a different computer, and on that computer all hardware acceleration was already off.
I either have very bad luck or PD is not very stable. Those of you who use PE like I do know that PE never crashes. However, its playback is slow and choppy and you have to render transitions.
In the world of tradeoffs, I prefer s/w that does not crash.

Please somebody tell me I'm wrong. I bought PD11 years ago and loved the speed and effects. I stopped using it because it crashed, not once but many times, and losing 15 minutes of editing feels worse than gaining 15 minutes of time from instant cross-fades with no rendering. My daughter continues to use (and like) PD11, but when she lost all her edits yesterday in a crash, I decided to give PD16 a try. I wanted to like it. My daughter gasped in excitement when she learned she could have more than one effects track.
Version: 16.0.2101.0
I got as far as stringing 4 clips together. Dropped a cross-fade between each clip. Preview was instant and high quality. Very nice! Then I tried editing the length of the transitions and trimming the clips and ... PD16 crashed.
Almost every single patch on the PD Updates page lists "enhances the program stability" which to me sounds like not a lot of progress in 3.5 years.
Am I wrong in my impression? Do others value speed that much more than stability to make PD16 worthwhile to you? How do you workaround the crashing? Opinions and feedback are welcome.

Hi stevek,
I want to change the capture format to DV-AVI; that is, DV format in an AVI container. Straight off the camera with no loss. MPEG-2 is not lossless, but maybe when burning to DVD PD 11 doesn't recode? That would be better but still not perfect. I hate to lose data before I edit anything.
My camera is a Sony DCR-TRV30. Not HD, but it shoots very nice video.
Thanks for the HDVSplit reference!

I am new to PD, having used Adobe Premiere Elements for years.
I want my capture from my camcorder to be lossless, so that when I edit the video it will be frame-accurate, and when I recode the video to MPEG-2 for DVD it will be as high quality as possible. When I capture from PD 11 I get MPEG files and I see no option to change this. Is this the best I can do with PD?
