 +==== Clear Cache of Waveforms ====

 +PTE AV Studio extracts waveforms for audio clips to display them in the Timeline view. For faster working of the Timeline PTE AV Studio saves extracted waveforms in a file cache. Sometimes, very rarely, for a locked audio file PTE AV Studio can extract a broken waveform. A Waveform Error message can appear. To solve this issue, a special command "Clear Cache of Waveforms" in the Preferences > Timeline tab has been added.

-This deals with the management of templates. A template can be considered as a set of project settings which can be used over and over again without the user having to reset project parameters. For example a user might want to make all his shows where the slide aspect ratio is always 3:2, the slide standard duration is 7s and a standard transition of gradual fade in are required. To do this, set up each of the required settings in "Project Options" and then use the menu option **File/Templates/Create Template from this show**. In the "Templates" tab, the "custom" button can be used to access all the project settings, the resultant show parameters saved as a template, and the "Use Template for New Projects" button to make this the default template. Of course a number of different templates can be created for different type of show. At the bottom of this section is the location where saved templates will be created. This default folder can be changed by the user if required.+  * This deals with the management of templates.
