Audio waveforms in Final Cut Pro

Audio waveforms are visual representations of the actual sound. Audio waveforms appear in clips in the following ways:

As the bottom portion of a video clip
As a detached or audio-only clip

An audio waveform’s amplitude and length change according to the underlying sound’s volume and duration. A short, loud sound such as a drum beat has a sharp, peaked waveform, whereas low-level crowd noise has a lower, more uniform waveform. These properties make it easier to find specific edit points when trimming clips or keyframing effects.

In Final Cut Pro, audio waveforms change according to a clip’s volume level or applied effects. The waveform appears larger when the volume is high and smaller when the volume is low.

Note: Clip colors are determined by role assignments. Each role has a default color. Video clips (including clips containing video and audio) are assigned the Dialogue role and are colored blue. Music clips are assigned the Music role and are colored green. Sound effects clips are assigned the Effects role and are colored teal. See View and reassign roles in Final Cut Pro.
