Wave form and stays open in task manager
J
James Clark
Wave form doesn't display in the timeline.I've tried deleting wave form files, checked that the "display wave form" is checked, and I've reinstalled the program. I'm using windows 11 and Powerdirector 18. I've also tried many different videos and the wave form won't display in the timeline.
Second problem is that the program stays open in task manager requiring me to end task before I can restart the program.
For both of these issues, I've searched the internet and tried a number of suggestions without success.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Today I updated my audio driver and now I have wave forms.

Many users over the years have experienced multiple problems with waveforms and (possibly related) having to use Task Manager to shut down. There seems to be no single solution, what works for one doesn't for another.
If you've tried many solutions, and had a look through the old forum -
https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/list/ENU.page - I can only suggest a deep clean of PDR files with a 3rd party uninstaller and see if that will allow a reinstall that behaves properly.
You might also try a workaround, although it increases workflow, by using the Extract Audio on clips in the Media Library and using that .wav file as your audio - if it shows a waveform? On unedited clips you should be able to unlink the original audio and link the .wav extract so synch may not be an issue.
If all fails, CS might have more ability to troubleshoot your individual issue?
