How to make a video loop in fcpx ????
I need to make a video that loops but when i export the movie it plays and ends at last frame, does any of you have an idea to how i get it to loop automatically when its played on a external display/tv.
can it be done in fcpx or what program do i need to use. -

You either build in the loop and extend a long movie, or use the loop function of QuickTime if you’re using QuickTime to playback (you can also set a loop flag in QT). DVDs have loop functions as well.
What’s your playback method?

There’s also a nice little app called LoopyLoopy that will set any QT video into endless loop mode from an iPhone or iPad. If you have an iOS device and it’s attendant doc connector to VGA adapter, that’s another approach.
If you want to run from a laptop – PlaybackPro from DTV labs has got a pretty stellar rep. But it’s not as cheap. And of course you’ll need the proper Apple dongle to get video out of your particular version of the mac video out VGA/DisplayPort connection.
Depends very much on the hardware and output capabilities you need.

Both quicktime 7 and quicktime X have a loop function if you’re playing off of a mac. It’s under the View menu. Command L is the keyboard shortcut.

Jeremy, are you saying there’s a way to set a flag in the quicktime video to force it to loop?

Hit command-l to turn on loop, then hit save.

Have you tried this.
Highlight the clip, click on the retiming tool icon, and try instant replay.
This has worked for me.

The Instant Replay worked great for me. I had a 30 sec loop I needed to run for 15 min and it was perfect.
