Is there a way to disable it? I have several hundred clips and I have to wait and extremely long time for the audio to be built. If there is a specific reason for this (files are MP4's), I'd like to know. With other editors I have, there is no need to do this. Clips play back without issues on several other editors just by dragging and dropping to the timeline.
Up to 203 with over 600 to go.... wow...
Push the Cancel button. Peak files are used to draw the waveform on the timeline.
@john_dennis duh!!! Face plant, palm smack.... Thank you! It's just too obvious. But I have to say, on my 27" 4K monitor, that "Cancel" is really tiny.
Thanks again!
Additionally, if you disable "Waveforms and Frames" in the "View" menu, Vegas will not (need to) build the waveform file.

> You can try going into the <.exe> file's (or shortcut) 'Compatibility' settings and experiment with the enabling the 'High DPI scaling' and other settings. Another option is to change bring the 'Resolution' down some which will make things a little larger. For instance on my 4k display laptop I brought the res down to 1080p and the DPI up to 150% to make the UI larger for my aging eyes. All the above will effect preview as well, if its in the same monitor as the Vegas UI. Many of us have a secondary monitor for preview.
