    Hello first off let me tell you that I am brand new to adobe after effects I bought it last weekend. I have adobe cs4 and using windows vitsa.

    I shot a quick video this week and put it on my laptop and played it though media player and the sound was there. I then open the video in after effects and previewed the video and there is no sound.
    How do you get the sound to play in the video in after effects? Im sure its probably something simple I forgot or just did not know to do.

    Thanks for the help.
    Mike

    Playing back footage by hitting the spacebar will not play back audio. To preview video and audio, press the 0 key on the numeric keypad (on the right side of your keyboard).

    To preview ONLY audio (not video), press the period (.) key.

    I have one more question about this. My friend also has after effects but his computer does not have the keypad on the right side of his laptop and the 0 button on the top does not work. What should he do in this case to have videos playback with sound?

    Thanks again mike

    What, exactly, are you doing to “play”? Are you using RAM preview?
