Loopable animation going to Final Cut
Hello:
I’m having difficulty creating loopable animations in AE and then sending then to Final Cut Pro. I create an animation in AE that loops perfectly as a RAM preview and loops perfectly when played in Quicktime Movie Player. But, when I place it on a Final Cut timeline to send to a clip server or make a loopable DVD, I get a hick-up as if I’ve lost a frame.Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance

All you can do in AE is make sure that the render ends 1 frame before the loop begins anew. If it works on the RAM preview, you’ve done all you can in AE. Afterwards …
… I can’t speak for the clip server, but loopable DVDs always hiccup. You should design your loop so a hiccup would not be noticed. For example, if you slowed the action down so it stops momentarily at the looping point, a hiccup would just appear to be a slightly longer pause.
Or make the loop long enough that the user would have exited the loop by then.
Also, know that most of us accept the hiccups if the loop is long enough.
My 2 cents,
Steve
