extend background indefinitely
Hi guys,
I have a background movie that I’d like to use (looping it indefinitely), which is several times shorter than the comp I’m working with.
Short of duplicating the movie 99 times and lining up the duplicates back to back, using that as the background — is there an expression that would do the job, instead?
Thanks!

There is, but why not just use File > Interpret Footage > Main and set however many loops you need?

Why not? Because I was completely oblivious of that option. 🙂 That certainly solves the prbolem.
Thanks, Dan!
Out of curiosity — what would the expression be, and which parameter would it be affecting? -
You would enable time remapping and add a simple time remapping expression:
loopOut()
You also need to extend the layer’s outpoint, and add another keyframe if you want the loop to be exact.

Got it. Thanks again!
