Looping a clip
I have a clip of a background that is loopable. How do I make it look in FCP 5.0 (besided cutting and pasting multiple copies of the same clip)? Is there a better way?
Thanks!

That’s how you “loop” anything like this.
On the original clip, make sure you have set the IN point at the head and the OUT point at the end of the clip.
Then, edit it to the video track that you want to put the clip on, and just keep hitting the “Overwrite” button (or F10) until you have edited in enough clips of the “loop”.

OH. I was hopping there was a better way to do it. A long time ago I use to do editing on Sony Vegas 5, and I don’t remember exactly how now, but there was a way to say the in, the out and then “Stretch it” on the timeline and told it to loop those two points. Ok, but if that is the only way, I guess I can create a sequence of that loop and then reuse that in my other sequences.
Cheers!
