  • Easy way to preview video & audio on the timeline at the same time?

    Posted by Seanwinn on March 22, 2006 at 11:17 pm

    The subject line is pretty much my question…

    Wondering if there’s an easy way to do it. I saw in help where you press the period key on the keypad, but video doesn’t play as well as audio.

    Can AE do this?
    Thanks…

    1. Make sure to turn on audio playback in the Time Controls palette.

    2. In you user preferences make sure that audio is set to playback more than the 8 seconds that is the default setting.

    3. Do a RAM Preview (“speeding bullet” button in the Time Controls palette or press 0 (Zero) on the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

    Jim,
    Thanks so much for your help…one other question. There is a green bar at the top of the timeline & it’s not going all the way across, causing the ram preview to stop where the bar ends…how do I correct that?

    Thanks again,
    Sean
