===== Adobe After Effects | Looping Animations =====

Start with a piece of footage in your composition you want to loop. Grab a stock video clip if you need one to try out.

  * Identify that piece of footage in your project panel.
  * Right-click and select Interpret Footage > Main.
  * At the bottom of the window is a Loop option. By default, it’s set to 1. Change this to loop however many times you like.
  * Now you’ll see the footage layer is longer, reflecting the number of loops. Extend the handles to the right. 
  * Now when you use this piece of footage it will loop!
  * This method is nice and easy, but it will only work for footage. 

=== Part 2: Looping Animation ===
Now let’s say you have a precomposed animation that you want to loop, you would have to approach this differently. Here are the steps: 

  * Right-click on the precomp and select Time > Enable Time Remapping.
  * Option + click the stopwatch for Time Remap.
  * Using the Add Menu, select Property > loopOutDuration.
  * You might find yourself getting some blank frames at the looping point. To fix that, simply go into your precomp and extend the layers past the end of the timeline.
