loopOut() morphing shapes
Posted by Dorota Sloma on February 5, 2020 at 4:35 pmI’m morphing a shape and was wondering if there is an expression to loop the change so it morphs and then goes back to first shape and then changes to the second one and keeps looping.
I tries loopOut() expression and it doesn’t work.

loopOut(“pingpong”)
will make it go from your first keyframe to your last, then last to first, and then it’ll repeat until the end of the comp.
If that isn’t working for some reason, pre-comp all of the layers you’re using for the morph, enable time remapping, and apply the expression to the time remapping property instead. -

Pre-comp your animated shape layer without using an expression, then outside of the pre-comp, enable time remapping. Set keyframes where you animation begins and ends (delete any others) and apply loopOut(“pingpong”) to the Time Remapping property.
