  Preview render stops when I browse net or anything aside from AE

  Posted by Gina Miller on September 4, 2014 at 12:03 am

  When I am previewing a render, not the final, if it takes some time I want to go to my browser or go to another folder and do something else while I wait but then the prerender stops? Is there a way that I can change this so that it will still pre render and I can do other things at the same time? Thank you! Gina

  I believe that you have invoked a preview via the SPACEBAR. Such a preview will stop when AE is no longer the active application. Such a preview also does not include audio.

  Instead, you should invoke a RAM Preview, which is done by hitting the ZERO key on the numeric keypad.

  Thanks Roland thats it, but RAM preview doesn’t work if I hit zero for some reason I have to click the arrow?

  Also – that will make it so I hear audio every time right?

  Hi Gina, it’s the 0 key on the numeric keypad that starts a RAM Preview – NOT the 0 on the main keyboard.

  You will hear audio provided the disable audio button in the Preview Panel is not switched on.

  Oh shoot, I don’t have one : ( I’ve got the small mac keyboard because my hands are so small. It doesn’t have the numeric.

  There are alternative shortcut keys for AE users without a Numeric Keypad. Take a look-see here – https://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2010/04/added-alternative-keyboard-sho.html

  Of course, the RAM Preview button in the Preview Panel is also a good alternative.

  Cheers
