  Total newbie question on looping

  Posted by Setfree on June 19, 2006 at 2:44 am

  Is there a simple way in AE6.5 to loop a clip to fill the entire timeline?

  Example: I have a 10second clip inserted into a 60second timeline. How can I easily make it loop/repeat through the timeline?

  Thanks for any help.

  In the bin window (upper left), select the footage, and hit control+f on a PC or command+f on a Mac to interpret the footage. Or you can right-click the footage and select “interpret footage”.

  Either way, you’ll be presented with the interpret footage window. On the bottom you’ll see a “Loop _ times” option. It is defaulted to 1. In your case you’ll want to choose 6 or more.

  Once you do this, you will see a change in your layer in your timeline, but it will STILL only encompass 10 seconds. You can then drag the right-side of the layer to the end to fill all the space.
