assistance figuring out how to repeat a layer of bubbles or get a longer video

[Tudor “ted” jelescu]

It looks like you need a simple bubble effect in AE that can last for the full length of your clip:

There are more complex and realistic ways of creating bubbles in AE but the above should do the trick for you

I appreciate your reply.

I have already seen that video tonight and I didn’t want the effect it had. That was foam which came out pretty fast and I wasn’t able to control the speed how I wanted. I tried using the built in bubble effect under effects > simulation > cc bubbles and was able to control the effect much better but the issue I am having now is ———> I can’t figure how how to make them look more like the bubbles in the first video I posted as far as transparency, without the black hue, and kind of that shiny look to them. <———-

So to recap I’m not worried about looping over and over now (unless that’s easy to do) with the old bubbles but creating them and now I need help figuring out what’s in the arrows above.

Here is the new bubble video:

Thank you in advance.

If the bubbles made with the method in the tutorial I sent you are too fast, just precompose and then Time Remap. This will slow down the movement.
As far as the look goes, you need to play with various transfer modes and try even using two instances of the same bubbles layer with different transfer modes.
