Audio Preview Mark a specific spot or stop play

Morning,
Using the . in After Effects is great but....
I have been trying to find out if there is a way to mark a spot while im doing an audio preview or even stopping the playback on a specific spot instead of it jumping back to the begining?

"To add a blank composition marker at the current time, make sure that no layer is selected, and choose Layer > Add Marker or press * (multiply) on the numeric keypad.
Note: Pressing  * during a RAM preview or audio-only preview adds a marker at the current time without interrupting the preview."
"To add a layer marker to selected layers at the current time, choose Layer > Add Marker or press * (multiply) on the numeric keypad.
Note: Pressing * during a RAM preview or  audio-only preview adds a marker at the current time without interrupting the preview."

  • Audio preview no longer works correctly since AE-CC update

    Hi everyone.
    Since updating AE CC a couple of days ago (now on 12.1.0.168) on OSX 10.8.5, 2.7GHz i7 16GB RAM, the audio and RAM preview no longer functions correctly.
    The steps I follow are:
    Open AE
    Open project
    Press . to preview audio from where I am on the timeline, OR RAM preview workspace
    What happens is my cursor turns into the wheel of doom for a about 20 seconds, then the playback begins but the audio is sped up which is wrong. Video is correct speed.
    If I stop the audio or RAM preview, then preview again, everything is fine and plays instantly. If a RAM preview loops, then the audio reverts to normal speed.
    I can open up any and all of my different project files and audio previews perfectly and instantly as it should. It's just the first time I press the . key on a freshly opened instance of AE that I get this problem.
    I've tried restarting my mac to no avail, and also changing the pref settings away from what the settings have always been and that doesn't work either. I've even trashed my prefs and that also doesn't work.
    I work exclusively at 25fps. Frame rate for RAM preview is set to auto (25) and changing this from auto to 25 doesn't work.
    Memory settings are default since trashing my prefs, 16GB installed, 4GB for other apps, no checked boxes are ticked.
    Any ideas on what has happened please?

    Clear. Safari, close it and reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Audio preview in finder...

    The audio preview in the finder on tiger showed up like a quicktime player with a progress bar u could move as u wanted. The new audio preview doesnt give u that option. Any way of changing it back to the old way?

    I understand the preview floating pane is quite good for somethings; but it's not very good if you want to listen to a track from a certain point, and then go back to what you where doing previously in other areas of the computer. As soon as you click on another program other than finder, or another finder window the track stops, and the only other option is listening to it all the way from the beginning. This is really limiting and annoying, especially if your listening to long mixes or podcasts. I would really like to be able to choose the way you preview in the finder, i.e. choose the progress bar thing like it had in the old OS.

  • Adding video fade out or cross fade to specific spot in clip

    I have a clip that has a visual glitch at the very end. I want to fade the video prior to the glitch but keep the audio. The glitch happens about 20 frames before end of clip. So I would like to just fade the visual keeping the audio intact, or just edit the video marrying the parts before and after glitch while maintaining the audio. So far I can't figure out how to place a transition at a specific spot in the timeline of a clip. I can only place them between different clips.

    Hi
    As to Audio
    I think that Extract Audio was avail in iMovie 4. Use this (Advance menu/Extract Audio)
    As to transitions
    Put a black photo (.jpg) at very end - Now You can apply transition.

  • How to create a 30 second audio preview

    I'm not sure this is the right thread to post this question.
    We have over a thousand audio files (narration) in mp3.
    We now want to make copies of the first 30 seconds of each file to put onto the web as a preview.
    We were looking at AppleScript solutions to automate this but did not find the possibility to use QT Pro to select the first 30 seconds en crop the file.
    Does anyone know a simple and fast solution for this ?
    PowerBook G4, Dual 2.7, Quad,...   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    You posted in the iTunes forum, so I'll give an iTunes solution.
    I don't have a one way solution, but a few steps will do the trick.
    First, put all files in a playlist.
    Select all files in the playlist.
    Run this script:
    tell application "iTunes"
    if selection is not {} then
    set sel to selection
    repeat with this_track in selection
    try
    set finish of this_track to 30
    end try
    end repeat
    display dialog "Done!" buttons {"Thanks"} default button 1 giving up after 5
    end if
    end tell
    All tracks will now stop playing at 30 sec.
    Next, convert the songs. It's no problem to convert them in the same format they are already in. The copies all will be 30 sec.
    After conversion, you can easily differentiate the converted shortened copies from the originals by date added or play time.
    I don't know a command to reset the finish times, but you can run the same script as above and replace '30' by the play time in seconds, the longest track has. E.g. if your longest track is 45 minutes, the number would be 2700.
    All tracks will be reset to their original play time (not 2700 sec.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash Pop-Up Videos.  Audio won't stop playing...

    Hi. I am using a pop-up script to play some .flv videos on my
    website. However, after you take the mouse off of the jpeg image
    the video goes away, but the audio continues. Is there anything I
    can put in my script to make the whole video stop playing? Is there
    somekind of onmouseout tag or something that will stop the whole
    thing?
    Here is the mouseover code:

    Every time I've broken down and sent a question to the discussion board, I figure out the problem myself right afterwards. I worked at it for three days before submitting the question, then figured it out about 30 minutes later.
    I was using INSERT - ANIMATION to insert the animation on a blank slide.
    I found that what I SHOULD have been doing is using INSERT - OTHER SLIDES - ANIMATION SLIDE because that works beautifully.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that has suddenly stopped playing any kind of audio. How do I fix this?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that suddenly stopped playing any kind of sound.  That's with earphones plugged in or not.  The microphone indicator in sound setup indicates that it is listening to external sound, and when I play system sounds, the speaker icon in the volume mixer indicates that the hardware thinks it is playing sounds, but nothing is coming out of the laptop at all.  I thought if it were a speaker not working internally I could fix it with earphones or external speaker but that isn't working either.  
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
    Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall.  When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'.  You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
    After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.

    Recovery Manager - Windows 7

  • Preview panel in Premiere Elements 10 stopped working

    Hi
    The preview panel on Adobe Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working.
    It was working fine until a couiple of weeks ago. I'd created a film and rendered it OK but after watching decided to do a little more editing.
    When I opened up the project the preview panel was just grey/blank. I move the cursor over a piece of film and just got like a snap shot.
    I can hear the soundtrack but no picture.
    I have tried a few suggestions from various sources as follows.
    I've updated the video/display drivers (directly from the manufacturers website)
    I've updated Windows for all the latest updates.
    I've updated all the video players and codecs I could find on my PC.
    I've updated Java.
    I've done a cleanup and defrag but there is about 650 gb of freespace.
    I've deleted the Bad Drivers file on a few occasions, this did give me a stuttering playback in the preview panel briefly but that has stopped again.
    If I open a different window over the top of Premiere, part of that image stays in the preview panel when I close or minimise that window.
    The video files I have been using have been mostly AVCHD files but these have worked fine for the last 18 months when I first installed this program.
    I've tried converting files to AVI, MPEG, MPEG2, WMV etc but still nothing in the preview panel.
    Totally stuck now, I've been trying to find a solution now for over a week and need to do some more editing.
    I liked this program as an editor up until now but it maybe time to look for an alternative if I can't get a solution.
    Kind regards and thanks in advance for any other suggestions

    That was good news that you have Premiere Elements 10 and Intel video card and not NVIDIA. To date, a certain display issue has been specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose computer uses a NVIDIA video card.
    I think it best if you started your own thread on your display issue since your details can take us in an assortment of directions depending on the details.
    We need to determine that your Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family display card driver is up to date.
    That information might be obtained from the following Intel web site
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&Product Line=Laptop+graphics+drivers&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%C2%AE+945GM+Express+Chipset+Famil y
    or
    This information might be obtained from the HP web site.
    2. If you determine that your video card driver is up to date, then you can try deleting the Premiere Elements 10 BadDrivers.txt file. Once you have deleted it and opened a new project, the BadDrivers.txt file will be replaced with a new one. For that we would need to know what computer operating system your computer is running on so that we can give you the correct path to the BadDrivers.txt file.
    It is important that at the onset you do a mini test run export to determine if what you are seeing as display problem in Edit is reflected in your export.
    We will be watching for further developments. Details are important. If you have problems finding the details, we will help you with that.
    Thanks.

  • Audio stops playing

    After an edit of a Captivate movie, the sound suddenly
    doesn't play any more after slide 22. In the Edit mode, the audio
    is still there, both graphically, and it plays on the individual
    slide. But not as the movie progresses. Help?????

    Hi St. Mark - I have the same problem - let me give a few
    more details, we might have something in common.
    1. I am on the .1418.1418 version of Captivate.
    2. I use a Dell D810 Latitude laptop with 1GB RAM and plenty
    of available disk space.
    3. I use a LogiTec USB port microphone / headset combo.
    The audio records amazingly well - even better than via the
    analog plug, which I tried at the beginning and gave up on. As I
    preview each slide in my 52 slide series - and more than a few of
    them have no audio at all - all is well. I hear all audio in
    slingle slide preview and in 5-slide preview just fine. However,
    when I publish and create a standalone .exe, and play the file, the
    audio starts out just fine, and then cuts out to dead silence
    somewhere along the way. On one try, it died after 6 or so slides.
    On another, it made it almost to the end - around slide 47 it cut
    out. I can still hear keystroke sounds, just none of my own lovely
    voice. Maybe the laptop is getting sick of hearing me yammer ??
    It feels like a RAM or conflict issue - so I even tried this
    - I saved the project, closed everything down (I typically only
    have Outlook open with Captivate), rebooted, then published to the
    .exe file, then closed Captivate, rebooted again, and ran the file.
    That's the time it allllllmost made it.
    Should I expect varying levels of success on my client's
    machine based on their RAM? Not cool - because my clients are
    school systems and municipalities, who don't always have great
    system specs.

  • I purchased a song.  It stops playing at the 2 sec mark.  How do I get a playable version without paying again?

    I bought a song on i-tunes last night.  It stops playing at the 2 second mark, and then starts over at the beginning.  Now when I preview the song in i-tunes (it says "play" and not "preview" now), it does the same thing--stops at the 2 second mark and starts back at the beginning.
    How do I get a playable version of the song without purchasing it again?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • There is no audio output on my MBA in the system preferences-sound folder. Therefore no sound comes from my computer. At the same time this happened, any streaming video stopped playing after 11 seconds, as well as iTunes will not play any song. Help!?

    Hello everyone.
    i have a 15" MBA circa 2011 running Lion 10.7.5 and my sound has gone, There is a no sound circle on my volume display and in system preferences sound my options for output is empty. At the same time this happened I noticed 2 things: 1) itunes would not actually play any audio track and every video i streamed stopped after a few seconds (usually 11s) but not always.
    I have tried following some tips I have found online like going into MIDI and fixing the problem there, restarting in safe mode. Resetting with PRAM (or something that sounds like that).
    Does anyone have any insight on this? At this point i'm thinking it's time to reload Lion but I don't really know how to go about that without losing all of my files.
    Please Help

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    no.
    but you can do it with javascript, javascript window.scroll function.

    upside, javascript is linked to the example.
    downside, you have to know javascript.
