  • Hearing Audio in realtime ?

    Posted by Eran Solomon on November 7, 2005 at 11:44 am

    Hey
    I was wondering if theres a way to hear the audio while I move the navigation bar , kinda like in Preimere.
    if not .. is there another way to mess with the audio ?
    I would hate to use two programs just to edit the audio to the movie..

    Thanks in advance !

    You can hold down the CTRL key (on PC) while dragging the navigation bar. Just tried it myself for the first time.
    Sounds very choppy when having a lot of soundlayers and video layers activated at the same time, but seems to works quite nicely with only few tracks active.

    Good Luck 🙂

    PS. My first post here 🙂

    Yep — to scrub audio, hold down the ctrl key (cmd on mac) as you move the current-time indicator (CTI). It’s in the help under keyboard shortcuts>keys for previewing.

    You may find AE problematic for audio editing, since you can’t cut to an interval smaller than the comp’s frame duration (e.g. 1/30 of a second).

    Welcome, Motley!

    BTW, the scrubbing is smoother when you hit Caps Lock to prevent the updating of the comp window. That is, if you don’t mind not seeing the visuals. 🙂

    Thanx for the tip, I’m still really new to After Effects, read about the CapsLock thing just few days ago in a book I have, but forgot all about it already 🙂
    Thank you for the reminder. =)
