    The “B” key will set your workspace in-point. The “N” key sets workspace out point. Pressing “0” on your number keypad will start a RAM preview, where each framed(in the preview area) will be rendered to your RAM.

    This preview will render both audio and video. To preview audio only, press “.” on your number keypad.

    Note: For additional keyboard shortcuts for use on keyboard without numeric keypads, see Previews (keyboard shortcuts).
