  • Problems about looping a path in After Effetcs

    Posted by Jacky Lam on June 28, 2009 at 1:11 pm

    I have keyframed an object form one position to another following a designated path, the duration of the whole process is 5s, but my compoisition is 20s, how can I loop the 5s-motion so that it can loop through the composition?

    Thanks for you guy’s attention

    Couldn’t you just duplicate it 3 more times and place them in the timeline in sequence? That would only work if the start and stop points were the same spot each time of course.

    there are a couple of ways to do this:
    1. precomp, then duplicate 3 times and sequence the comps
    2. prerender and import the render, set it to loop to fit 20 secs (ctrl or command F to interpret footage for the looping setting)
    3. precomp, time remap and add a loop out expression on the time remap property.

    Yes, and here is a link to a looping tutorial.
