Hi Todd,

Learning AE from scratch the past few months. Started to think there must be a way to use the rendering process to create RAM previewed frames for the same comp over the same time period. Sorry if I’m using the terminology awkwardly. Let me try another way, let’s say I have a comp named “CompA” and I don’t have many “RAM preview” frames in the timeline. I render out the first 30 seconds to an AVI using the Render Queue. When the render is over is there some settings in preferences or in the renderer that would tell AE, “Hey, now that we’ve finished all that hard work, let’s make it available in the RAM preview!” If such a feature does not yet exist, that would be an exceptionally helpful bonus from the rendering process, yeah?

Thanks,
– DLK

Hi Todd,

I know this is a very old post, but it came up while I was trying to find an answer to my problem in AE CC. While J and K advance the playhead to layer markers, they do not work for COMP markers. I did numerous searches on both Adobe and Google trying to find some keyboard shortcut to navigate between COMP markers. Could not find ANYTHING other than other users trying to find the same thing I was. I gave up. THEN sometime later, I was looking through the online keyboard shortcut help for something else when I came across the little section of 6 entries titled “Markers (keyboard shortcuts)” and there it was: 0-9 on main keyboard. I thought this would be a usable solution UNTIL I renamed the comp markers and discovered that the number shortcut doesn’t work if you change the name to anything but a single digit number! UGH! This is really a glaring problem with navigation. Unless there is something I am missing??? Sure could use any guidance you might have.

Thanks,
