    Hi

    I have a comp 4s long of a record spinning (1 revolution)

    I added the expression loopOut(“cycle”) to the rotation field

    When I nested this record pre comp in a 20sec main comp to test, the record dissappeared when the precomp record finished. (I expected the loop to repeat it to eternity so to speak)

    I have read similar posts to this but the resolution was not clearly defined

    Thanks in advance from an expression newbie

    As I understand it you want to apply the loopOut expression to Time Remapping on the nested comp.

    Set the duration of your pre-comp to an amount long enough to cover your loop. Then, when you nest the precomp, make sure the layer extends for as long as you want your loop to last.
