Precompose your 5 sec comp.
Enable Time remapping,
check the keyframes.
Add a looping Expression to the Time Remapping,

check the manual for “loopOut”

Woops,

now I have to wash my keyboard with soap 😉

Right,

since x / y = x * (1 / y)

you can multiply two images, if you ‘invert’ the second.
Now invert does not mean just “channel -> invert” (255 – brightness)
but 255 / brightness

You can do this using a Curve
I suggest using Color Finesse, it has a better interface for finetuning and a more logical interpolation between curve-points

Just make a curve with these values:

input / output:

1 – 255
2 – 128
4 – 64
8 – 32
16 – 16
32 – 8
64 – 4
86 – 3
128 – 2
255 – 1

Is that what you mean ?

I’ve tried it and can’t seem to find a use for this: it returns a Lot of dark values

Hi Kathlyn,
I’d be honoured, but let me flesh it out some more, maybe add the moon 😉
definately some more screenshits.
I’ll email the files over, probably after the weekend.

Hi Cynthia,

when you say ‘animating’, what do you mean:
do you mean stylizing or simplifying the motion, moving the picture around, making the video look handdrawn, etc.

Be a little more specific what visiual effect you want to achieve.

I’m presuming you’re having the layer as a 3D layer.

The CC Sphere effect renders a 3d layer on a flat layer, so don’t rotate the layer, rotate the effect.

A first step would be to auto-orient the layer to always point to the camera.

I did some work on some expressions that totally emulate the look of a ‘true’ 3d sphere by measuring the distance to the 3D camera and a light source, but it’s not quite done yet:
