That has nothing to do with my question. Think you might have the wrong thread mate.

One more quick question…Is there a way to customize the brush or use different present shapes like photoshop?

Thank you for your help guys

That should be plenty for me to hunt the inter-web and write something that should do the trick.

Yeah it sounds like we are almost on the same page.

I am trying to create a mask or layer that covers the boundaries of movement. I have used auto-trace so far and it has way to many points.

Maybe a better way of explaining it – if a flame was on a black background moving around for 500 frames. I would like to create a bounding box that covers the movement of the whole animation.

Ironic how I originally asked the question…

Say you need a 10 second loop, right.

Start with 6 seconds of footage that you want to loop.
Duplicate it, move the timeline to the middle of the footage.
Cut the top layer Alt + ]
Zoom into the middle and check that the timeline matches and cut the bottom layer Alt + [. *After FX doesn’t seem to do this seemlessly if you’re soomed out.
Move the top to the end and the bottom layer to the beginning.
Go to your comp settings and change the duration to 10:01
Then drag the same original footage into the comp and key frame the opacity to fade in and out. Crossfading 🙂
I also apply and easy ease to my key frames so it isn’t as jerky on transition.

Does that help

Hey Joey,

How do you loop the footage after I have done what you said?

In the instance I have not rendered it and just need that one layer to loop on itself.

Cheers for your help dude

Alright so this going to sound incredibly stupid but given i don’t use After Fx I thought I’d ask.

How do you crossfade?

Sorry Joey your idea is very good too. I think I had a go at it earlier but didn’t get the detial I wanted.

Although you explained it with more detail. So I will try that too.

Thanks Michael,

That sounds like a great idea. Would you just split the one line of footage or just dupicate the footage layer and cut it?

If you’re just split one layer of footage, how would you go about doing that?
