    Took me some time to figure out what you meant, but I ended up making it work, by creating a shape (which became mask) with my comp selected, marking Mask Path, copy, marking Comp > Position, paste. And deleting the mask ofc.

    Thanks anyway 🙂

  • Great! Thanks alot, guys 😀 my day is saved

  • I tried everything on this list https://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/after-effects/workflow/composition/panel.html and could not find anything. Is it me that have overlooked something?

  • Sorry I can’t find anything like that anywhere in Preferences

    Edit: I know the basics. I have watched lots of tutorials for around a year now, and tried experementing with the features inside the program. It’s just that sometimes I run into a problem here and there, where I don’t know the solution, and trust me – I am googling before posting in here.

    It just doesn’t make any sense for me to spend days/weeks to look for a solution (that maybe isn’t even there at all) and get frustrated about it, if someone in here knows the answer. And I’m sure that there will be someone else, who will benefit from this topic.

    My main goal is to optimize the workflow, by cutting out unnecessary steps (to achieve the same goals), by exchanging ideas based on experience. And when the time is right, I will share my ideas as well.

    I really don’t see the difference. Either way it’s the same thing for me – if someone fixed my problem, by answering my question, I appreciate the post, respect the poster and want everyone to know that that poster does the excellent job. So I guess I just use one of the two. Solution for a good answer, and Kudos for a great answer 🙂

  • Ohh thank you. 🙂 Must have triggered it with a press of some hotkeys

    Have a nice day

    I love you, sir, for helping me with that problem of mine. You just saved my day, thank you so much!

    I performed this procedure on a whole new test comp that I created, and after realizing what caused this problem, I have done the tweaks to my main anim. Few things that caused the problem:

    1) The major first part of my comp was trimmed down
    1a) In stead of having the animation in the middle of the next-part comp, I have moved it to the beginning, and trimmed down the comp
    2) I applied everything in that exact order, you suggested, which seems crucial for it to work
    3) I test-deleted the 0-value keyframe after my last keyframe to see if it works without it, and it does!

    Whoa I have had no idea that making a simple loop can become a rocket science. Do I have to go through this craziness every time I need to make a loop, or are there any shortcuts for this to achieve? Like for instance making a template for Time Remap parameter with LoopOut() expression automatically attached to it?

    I dont know if they will confuse you even more, but here they are

    1 is the animation it self inside the Comp

    2 is that same comp seen from outside, with a Loop expression on it
