Manually invoking GenerateWaveform doesn’t work.SolutionThis problem with Waveform Generation is likely to be due to the fact that the audio files are in Read Only mode.This will often be the case when copying files from a CD-ROM. In Windows Explorer simply select all the tracksfrom the CD, right click, select Properties and uncheck the Read Only box under Attributes.Clip Names are UnreadableSymptomsWith some color schemes, Clip Names are unreadable.SolutionSimply choose a more suitable Windows color scheme to resolve this. You also can change the background andwaveform colors (right click) for individual clips and tracks in Pyramix.Relaunch After Improper ExitIn the case of an ‘improper application exit’ (politically correct term for crash) the system does not attempt toautomatically open the last backed up project, since the most up to date version is the project itself in its lastsaved state. All ProjectXXX (Backup).pmx, ProjectXXX (backup 2).pmx,etc… documents are older versions of ProjectXXX.pmxwhich is now always the last one saved.Troubleshooting : Clip Display Problems 28 - 553
