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.
