  • How can I combine these into the same line then loop them?

    Hi,
    Before I ask the question I just wanted to ask if you could make your answer as dumbed-down as my question is, that would be great!
    2nd, I know I could do this is flash, but that is not available to us.
    I’d like to combine images SEOUL 1 through SEOUL 7 to be in the same line, if possible. I want to make sort of a GIF out of them.
    Then I’d like to loop the animation for a couple more seconds.

    I read some of the other questions, but the answers weren’t simple enough for me, expressions what?!

    It’s more important that I loop them than combine them into one row.

    Thank you!

    Just select all those layers in your timeline and find “precompose” in one of the menus (only my fingers remember exactly where it is, not my pea brain). Then, you can either duplicate that precomp layer as many times as you need or pre-render it, bring that back into AE and go into the “interpret footage” window (by selecting the file in the project panel and choosing “interpret footage” from yet another menu I don’t more specifically recall) and enter the number of times you want it to loop in the “loop” box.
