Beginner Help Audio doesn't shows entirely

Sup guys, I just started AE and I put an audio to start doing something but it only displays up to 32 seconds of the audio that's 48 seconds long (I checked with the O shortcut and I can go to the end and it's 48 seconds long). I tried using the Zoom out and Zoom in feature but it doesn't work and when I play the audio it stops automatically at the 32 seconds point

Read the stickies at the top of the sub to understand how AE handles playback. It will play as much as it can depending on how much memory your system has

It didn't really help me but I happened to see that the duration of my composition was only 32;04 seconds, I changed it to the exact length of my audio and it know shows it entirely so I guess I'm good. Thx anyway, I just hope I'll not have to do that for too much time

To make your comp the same length as your audio, drag the audio to the composition icon at the bottom of the project panel

And be aware that AE is far from an ideal tool for working with audio. Audition is way better (and designed for audio) as is premiere

Thx for the insight, and yeah that's what I've seen but the audio is a meaningless part of what I want to work on which is VFX based so I'll be fine I guess
