Rest assured, there are so many other ways to preview your audio.<\/p>\n<p>Seamlessly integrating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/royalty-free-sfx?utm_source=premiumbeat&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_content=5-Ways-to-Preview-Audio-in-After-Effects&amp;utm_campaign=10-2022-blog\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">audio<\/a> and video together will <strong>help your animations have more life.<\/strong>\u00a0Whether you&#8217;re learning these techniques for the first time or simply need a quick refresher, here are five ways to <strong>preview audio in After Effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-preview-audio-only-from-beginning\">1. Preview Audio Only From Beginning<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56970 size-full\" title=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: From the beginning\" src=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Preview-From-Begining.gif\" alt=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: From the beginning\" width=\"762\" height=\"237\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mac Shortcut: <\/strong>(Option + .) on numeric keypad or (Control + Option + .) on main keyboard<\/li>\n<li><strong>PC Shortcut: <\/strong>(Alt + .) on numeric keypad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To <strong>preview audio in After Effects<\/strong> from the beginning of your work area, simply use the above keyboard shortcut. This can be incredibly helpful if you&#8217;re trying to get your keyframes to match up just right with the audio but don\u2019t want the video files to bog down your computer.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-preview-audio-from-current-location\">2. Preview Audio From Current Location<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56971 size-full\" title=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: Loop from CTI\" src=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Loop-from-CTI.gif\" alt=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: Loop from CTI\" width=\"762\" height=\"237\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mac Shortcut:<\/strong> (.) on numeric keypad or (Control + .) on main keyboard<\/li>\n<li><strong>PC Shortcut:<\/strong> (.) on numeric keypad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like the previous technique, when you use this keyboard shortcut you&#8217;ll only hear audio. However, the preview will begin from the position of your CTI (Current Time Indicator).<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-preview-video-and-audio\">3. Preview Video and Audio<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56974 size-full\" title=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: RAM Preview\" src=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg\" alt=\"Preview Audio in After Effects: RAM Preview\" width=\"762\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg 762w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=300,86 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=277,80 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=359,103 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=543,156 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=560,161 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/RAM-Preview.jpg?resize=150,43 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mac\u00a0Shortcut:<\/strong> Control + 0<\/li>\n<li><strong>PC Shortcut:<\/strong> 0 on the numeric keypad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to preview your final composition\u2019s audio and video together, you&#8217;ll need to use RAM Preview. A RAM Preview will create physical video on your computer\u2019s scratch disks which After Effects will playback. The only downside to a RAM Preview is that it typically takes a lot of time \u2014 but it all depends on the size of your project.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-audio-video-while-scrubbing\">4. Audio + Video While Scrubbing<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mac Shortcut:<\/strong> Hold Command and Scrub<\/li>\n<li><strong>PC Shortcut:<\/strong> Hold Control and Scrub<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To simultaneously scrub through video and hear audio at the same time, hold down Command while scrubbing. The only downside to using this method is the fact that it can be quite taxing on your computer to scrub through a video with a lot of effects applied to it. I recommend lowering your preview resolution if you use this technique.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-scrub-audio-only\">5. Scrub Audio Only<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mac Shortcut:<\/strong> Hold Command + Option and Scrub<\/li>\n<li><strong>PC Shortcut:<\/strong> Hold Command + Alt and Scrub<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To preview just the audio audio while scrubbing, simply hold down the command and option key while scrubbing your mouse across your composition. You will be able to hear an audio preview, but the video will remain still until you release your mouse.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pssst: By the way, if you need After Effects templates, <a title=\"RocketStock:
