Steve, I'm happy to know that you have "always (ALWAYS)" been able to kill waveform redraw with Command/Period. However, it's clear some users are having a different experience. But who knows? Maybe these more recalcitrant systems would indeed have stopped drawing the waveforms if I had just continued to pound on those two keys repeatedly for another ten or twenty seconds, but I just gave up, perhaps too soon.
And I'm even happier to know that the waveform caching works! It's great that Avid is now catching up to FCP in this regard. As to FCP's waveforms, they are in many cases rather useless, but in my experience they are not inevitably useless. I've experienced some weird out of sync stuff with them, where sound and waveform display didn't line up, but that was a symptom of a bigger problem with the audio media itself, some conflict between the frame rate of the Easy Setup and the frame rate of the imported audio. In general, I just find them too small, and I don't know of a way to make them bigger.
The happiest thing of all is contemplating the fact that my 20+ years of watching painful waveform redraw may soon be behind me!
Best,
Shirley

I've always (ALWAYS) been able to kill a waveform redraw with cmd-. (cntrl-. on
a PC)
I saw the waveform caching at NAB... very nice.... and so "FCP7 from 8 years
ago."
But as I mentioned before, at least Avid's waveforms are actually accurate. FCPs
are pointless.

that waveform redraw was still so painfully slow. Nor did the system respond
when I tried to interrupt it be recalling a different timeline view or by
rescaling the timeline. Nothing to do but wait, and bemoan your fate.
