    Is there a simple way in AE6.5 to loop a clip to fill the entire timeline?

    Example: I have a 10second clip inserted into a 60second timeline. How can I easily make it loop/repeat through the timeline?

    Thanks for any help.

    In the bin window (upper left), select the footage, and hit control+f on a PC or command+f on a Mac to interpret the footage. Or you can right-click the footage and select “interpret footage”.

    Either way, you’ll be presented with the interpret footage window. On the bottom you’ll see a “Loop _ times” option. It is defaulted to 1. In your case you’ll want to choose 6 or more.

    Once you do this, you will see a change in your layer in your timeline, but it will STILL only encompass 10 seconds. You can then drag the right-side of the layer to the end to fill all the space.
