    I apologize if this has been answered before but I didn’t see it. I am creating a video in AE that is supposed to be a perfectly looping video. I am trying to ram-preview the end section going into the beginning to check timing and make sure it works. I understand that the preview will loop what ever it has stored in ram but as soon as it gets to the end of the work area, it stops processing and starts playing at beginning of preview. Is there a way to get it to jump to the beginning of the comp and continue with the ram-preview?

    I usually set a timeline marker at the head and tail and toggle between them to make sure the loop is correct.

    If you need to see it in motion:
    Drop the current comp into a new comp and duplicate the layer. Move layer 2 down so it starts when layer 1 ends. Set your work space accordingly and RAM preview.
