How do you loop a segment in After Effects ?
Hi Guys,
If I create a project and I create a small animation that is for instance 5 secs long, how can I repeat that little animation to go through my entire project without having to animate it every 5 seconds. In other words how do I loop something in A.E.
Here is 2 examples that I need help with:
1. I have a background that I fade in and out using the opacity tool. I fades in for 1 sec and then fades out for 4 secs. How do I repeat this FADE-IN/FADE-OUT cue for 20 secs, without animating it throughout the timeline ?
2. If I have a quicktime movie of a candle burning and it is like 7 secs long. How do I loop that burning candle for 20- secs ?
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME WITH YOUR HELP!!! SUCH A GREAT FORUM !!

example 1:
nest that background into its own composition. enable time-remapping. apply a loopOut(“cycle”) expression to time-remapping.example 2:
for a clip that’s already rendered as a movie file, select it in the project window, file>interpret footage, then enable looping -
This is excellent answer. Thank you !
I am very new to AE and do not know where to enable those settings.
Where is TimeRemap and where is LoopOut Cycle ?Thanks !

Where is TimeRemap and where is LoopOut Cycle < See the manual. You've got to design your animation to loop or there will be a visual hiccup at the transition point. the first frame must be what would follow the last frame. bogiesan
