But your question seems more work flow related.
For keys, 0 on numberpad for ram preview, spacebar to just play, and . on numpad to play just audio
the audio and video files go into the timeline and (hopefully) get along nice.

You can still start a RAM preview by clicking the RAM preview button in the Preview panel.
For more information, see the “Preview video and audio” section of After Effects Help.

August 1, 2009 at 2:57 pmAs I understand it, if you have an iPhone, you can tie it to your MacBook Pro and use it for a numeric keypad. That way you could do it the “pressing 0 on the numeric keypad” way. However, I’m not sure about this as most of my AE experience has been on desktop PCs or Mac Pros and I do not yet have an iPhone 🙁
