    I’ve got about 10 clips that I am using in a composition that is longer than the duration that they are. I’d like them to just loop, is there a way to do this besides creating a seperate comp and just duplicating them? I’m assuming it could be done with expressions? However I have VERY little experience with expressions.

    Set them to loop in the import (or file>interpret footage>main) dialog. The field is near the bottom of the dialog.

    Since that expression only works on keyframed properties, you need to apply time remapping to the footage, then apply the expression to the time-remap property. You don’t need to alter the time-remap keyframes.
