Where is the waveform toggle button located for showing waveforms for a clip?

• A. Track Control panel
• B. Effects panel
• C. Source window
• D. Timeline toolbar

Answer: (A)

In Media Composer, the waveform display is a track-level visual option kept in the Track Control Panel—the area at the left side of the timeline where you manage each track’s settings. Turning on the waveform there reveals the audio waveform for every clip on that track, giving you a visual representation of audio levels as you edit. This per-track control makes it convenient to compare and align dialogue or sound effects across clips on the same track without affecting other tracks. The waveform toggle isn’t housed in the Effects panel, the Source window, or the Timeline toolbar because those areas handle different functions—effects management, source media viewing, and general timeline tools, respectively. The Track Control Panel is the appropriate place to adjust whether a track shows its audio waveforms.
