AfterEffects

Synchronize markers to audio

After Effects provides a quick way to add and label markers for significant points in a layer’s audio track, such as a rhythmic beat in music or spoken words in dialogue. After markers are created, you can use them to synchronize video or other effects.

  1. In the Time Controls panel, click the Audio button , and then click the RAM preview button .
  2. At the points in time where you want to add a marker, press the multiply key (*) on the numeric keypad to create a layer-time marker.
  3. When previewing is complete, double-click a marker you just created, and add comments or otherwise modify the markers as you would any other layer-time markers.
