    hey guys,
    I’m having a real problem – I have a simple opacity blink on a layer
    frm1 – opacity = 0
    frm50 – opacity = 100
    frm101 – opacity = 0

    keyframe interp set to HOLD so it blinks.

    Can I get these to loop – I dont mind copying and pasting across 1minute of animation but this is 15minutes long! I realise I could probably do it but its a right pain if I want to change the animation blink timing. Please please tell me theres an easy method!!
    cheers

    Give the opacity property this expression:

    loopOut(type = “cycle”, numKeyframes = 0)

    it will loop all the keyframes.
