Final Cut Pro - Importing audio - on waveform

When I move music or sound effects to a timeline, it only shows a bar, not a wave form. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Sounds not working when pulling them into my timeline My sounds will play in the effects panel but when I pull them into the timeline then there is no longer a waveform visible and no audio plays from the sound effect during playback. For example: This BOOM SWOOSH sound effect will pay in the effects panel but will not play in the timeline

Some audio tracks can no longer be expanded. Hey, please have a quick look at the numbered pictures below. 🙂 Description: 1) Double-clicking the sound of the yellow clip expands the audio track in the timeline as usual. 2) The green line, on the other hand, is an FCPX sound effect that is only displayed as a waveform in the Inspector. In the timeline, even after double-clicking, only the green line is visible. 3) Double clicking the red clips audio track shows the waveform only in the Inspector. In the timeline I only get this red line. Question: I know FCPX only as in point 1. This project was not different at first. ... Why does the program suddenly behave as in points 2 & 3 and how can I influence this? ... I want to have my waveforms back in the timeline. 😃 Thank you for reading.

Final Cut Pro X Compound Clip Slow Playback Hello, I edited a compound clip at a separate project timeline for a larger project. This compound clip belongs to the same FCPX library that includes the 2 separate project timelines. It doesn't play smoothly, but plays with delay. I detached the audio and just compounded images. I wonder what I m missing there. As I pasted the compound clip to the nseparate timeline, I receive the same result, a slow delivery. Your insight? Note is the only clip in the larger projects timeline that plays that way. Thank you in advance for this.

Please post a screenshot.

You can change the appearance of clips in the timeline.

Maybe this is what you want: click the marked button - it is at the top right of the timeline - and choose a different option:
