  • A Question About Looping.

    Posted by Michael In bc on December 6, 2006 at 11:23 pm

    There are a lot of very nice looping clips available and I own some. Until now, I have used it with dedicated Green Screen software on a PC but I have some uses for it and want to use it in Final Cut.

    I have researched the manual and the help files and can’t seem to find looping a clip in the time line. I am beginning to think it can’t be done and rather I will need to keep adding the same clip to the time line until I have covered the amount of time I need it to play. Is this correct or have I overlooked something?

    Thanks for any advice,

    Michael

    Thank you but I am not sure I made myself clear. I knew how to loop the play back I want to know how to put say a 15 second looping clip in the time line and output a sequence with a length of say 45 sec.

    Do I have to put the looping clip in the time line 3 times? I am using it as a backdrop for scrolling credits.

    Thankyou,

    Michael

    Wait !!!!!

    In edit to tape you have the option to loop the output in mastering settings, but for 45 seconds, I’d drop it in three times.
