Actually the circle is a disc with lettering which isn’t repetitive in any way.
However I managed to get it to loop, but had to increase the duration to 18 seconds to accomodate the rotation of the disc.
Also with regards to my previous question, is there a simpler way to add the 1 second composition 18 times to the main composition, i.e to match its duration with that of the circle?
Like a duplicate and layer offset expression (offset on the timeline I mean)

Also in case I have to add my 1 second looping composition to a new 18 second composition containing the circle, is there a way to do it without having to duplicate the 1 second loop and manually add it 18 times to the composition?

Thank you for your replies,

Yes I see the impossibility but I thought I’d go into details and see if that changes anything (except time and space 🙂

Well my final composition is 1 second in duration. It contains an particle effect animation that loops once/second
Above this I want to place a rotating circle that rotates slowly in its own timeline (i.e slowly 10 degrees/sec over 18 seconds, i.e it rotates once per 18 seconds)

I’ve had to keep the circles rotation going over 18 seconds just to slow it down. (is this the only way to slow rotation?)

Would the only workaround be having my 1 second looping particle effect extend over the 18 seconds it takes the circle to complete one rotation?

Or is there a way to maintain the duration of my composition at 1 second and slow down the circles rotation.
(i.e by the time the particle effect loops 18 times, the circle shall complete 1 rotation, but the timeline duration shall be maintained at 1 second)
