Loop a nested compositon?
Hi there. Can’t find this in the help files – probably cause I’m asking the wrong question for AE.
But Is there a quick way to loop a nested composition – so that once it reached the end of the nested comp’s duration, the main comp will just start paying frame one of the nested comp again? (Similar to using movie elements in Flash?)Francois

No. You need to render your pre-comp, use time-remapping or create the looping in the sub-comp itself.

just use timeremapping on the precomp layer and use a loop expression

Sounds promising.
Had not used expressions before. Need a bit more help if it could be explained in a quick couple of steps?Thnx!

Enable time remapping. Two keyframes at start and end will appear. Do nothing on them. Alt+click the stopwatch, type in loopOut(“cycle”,0).

Thanks. Got a similar expression as what I tried to come op with form the Eeprxssions Help file. Doesn’t work for some reason. So, for now I’m just manually copy & pasting time remap keyframes on the nested layer. That’s fool proof. Would be nice to be able to do it the more gracious expression way, though.

OK. Got it. Helps if you move your out point too on the layer. Somehow this one got left behind when I extended the comp time.
THNX it works!
