  AE 7.0 – Loop Preset Backgrounds

  Posted by Bill Asher on August 8, 2006 at 2:25 pm

  Ok.. I have a 5 minute countdown that I’ve created with the NUMBERS effect. I’ve added a preset background to a solid, the Cinders.ffx to be specific, and it will only animate for 5 seconds. How do I tell the animation to go the entire 5 minutes?

  Thanks!!

  Many of the presets are based on keyframes that are at specific time positions. You probably just need to move and/or copy/paste the keyframes to extend the animation. Tip – Highlight the layer and press the U key to see all keyframed properties.

  Ok Timothy.. that led me in the right direction. I used your U shortcut and moved the last keyframes to the end of the comp. Then had to increase the Evolution settings for the longer time. It seems to be doing what I want now.. thanks!!
