Marking audio for AE
Hi all, i have a vaguely complex composition (animating a map with lots of stuff going on) and i have a music track that is backing it.
I know i can mark the track up in ae but its tedious due to ram previews etc. Just wondered if anyone knew how to do this maybe external to AE?
I dont know if audition will do this, I suspect it will but i dont own a copy. Anyone else know of a way of doing this? (bit of a long shot i know)
Many thanks!

I believe there are ways to get markers from Audition, Soundbooth or Premiere Pro so if you have any of those you can try taking advantage of their more audio-aware workflows. If you don’t however it’s best you’re fully versed in the AE ways: (Might be stating the obvious here – but in case you don’t know them)
Press “LL” on your audio layer to see the waveform (Or toggle it down)
Use the ‘.’ key on the number pad to play the audio.
Use the ‘*’ key on the number pad to mark the audio as it plays.
Use ctrl+mouse to scrub the audio to refine the markers.You could also consider using any sound editing program (Such as audicity) to make a different copy to help you mark. Amplify the key bits so they’re easier to spot on AE’s waveform – or use an equalizer to enhance the bass so it’s easier to pick out – just remember to put the original back in when you’re done.
