I've read the manual, I've watched youtube, every day there's a problem that pops up that is not addressed in the manual or the manual doesn't explain in everyday language. How do I enable the waveform in the audio clip on the timeline? One day it was there, then it was gone. I don't know what I did to have it disappear but I've spent so much freaking time trying to find the solution. It's a simple issue that should have a simple solution, and yet, in the manual when I search "Audio Clip Waveform," the result is "No Results Found." By the way, I clicked on "Show Audio Waveforms" on the icon next to the timeline slider...still no audio wavewforms. Also, the design and layout of the manual is atrocious. All you have to do is look at the forum and see how many questions there are as proof that the language and layout is a problem, not a solution. How can anyone be creative when there are so many problems that come up that the system and the manual are ill-equipped to handle? Like a non-gitttery playback! My advice...go back to the drawing board and design an edit system that does the basics perfectly then expand from there! The most fundamental aspect of editing is to allow the editor creative freedom with the help of technology. Since the advent of non-linear (I was there when it began in the early 80's), not one system has ever been designed where the technology doesn't consistently barge in and pinch the creative process. Lightworks was by far the best. Avid, one of the worst. Resolve? You want me to pay $300 for a system that can't playback media? Come on. Make the basics work every time.
