Can’t play Audio…plz help
This may sound dumb,but i have to ask it. whenever I import a file (.AVI) in AE CS3, and I drag to timeline and hit Spacebar, I dont hear the Audio. I can only hear the Audio when I ram preview the Audio hitting (shift+.). Is that normal? or do I have to check or uncheck a box somewhere?
Thanks for your help. -

AE doesn’t work like an NLE — hitting the spacebar won’t play audio. You need to make a RAM preview or hit . on the numeric panel to hear audio. Check the help.

Yes, that’s normal. Spacebar play just plays video.
From the “Preview video and audio” section of After Effects CS3 Help:
“Standard preview (commonly called spacebar play) plays video in the active Composition, Layer, or Footage panel from the current time.
…
RAM preview allocates RAM to play video and audio in the Timeline, Layer, or Footage panel in real time.”
