  Basic Audio Question

  Posted by Steven Hilton on December 20, 2012 at 9:13 am

  So I’m making an animation and when I hit 0 on the numpad it plays the animation back through with the music, which is great but sometimes I’d like it to just play from wherever the CTI is rather than start at the beginning. Is there any way to preview my animation with audio and have it start from wherever my CTI is?

  Press the “.” on the number keypad. The downside to this is when you stop, the CTI doesn’t move to where you stopped if you are trying to locate something. If you are trying to locate something, what I like to do is select my audio layer and press “*”(number keypad) and tap it where I need to place locators.
