    Hello. I want to create a walk cycle with the puppet tool but I don’t want to animate through the whole composition (it is a walk CYCLE after all). How do I loop an animation made with the puppet tool? Thanks in advance.

    You’ll need to decide on a duration for the cycle (e.g. 5 seconds) then animate your puppet pins to arrive at the same location at 5 seconds as they were at 0 seconds.

    Then you can either pre-compose this animation and apply time remapping with a loopOut() expression to the pre-comp, or you can apply loopOut() to each of the keyframed puppet pins.
