loop a nested comp
i have a animation that i need to make that has a child standing stationary and a comp moving behind her. The comp will be 5 “screens” at 720 x 480. Each screen will be a train car with a animal in it.. so i need to make a long comp 720 x 5 + 3600 pixels wide. okay now i want that comp to loop so that you can’t tell it is looping. I have a different animal in each train car so i want the animal at 5 to loop back to animal one. I know this is long winded I am just trying to answer as many questions about what i need beforehand. I have never had much luck looping so i am just looking for tips. Thank you for your time.

By looping do you want the 5 animals to slide left to right and then repeat themselves, 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2…
In the main comp,
I’d just animate that really wide comp with position to get it to slide left to right, then add this loop expression to the Position property:
loopOut(“cycle”, 0)
For in depth on looping see,

See the “intro” comp in the downloadable aep file.
