This script loops any layers, footage or comps with one click™

The script will loop any amount of selected layers from the furthest in-point and the last out-point by pre-composing and doing a dissolving loop. It will then apply an expression to the looped comp so that it can be stretched infinitely from either the in or the out-point.

There is an option to use the Blend effect instead of using opacity to make the dissolve an optical dissolve.

HOW TO USE:

  • Select the layers you want to loop.
  • Trim the in-point and out-point of the layers to where you would like the loop to be.
  • Run the script from the Window menu
  • Choose the dissolve length in frames
  • **Please note that you should use the Blend Effect option when looping items that are transparent

The script is now localized in the following languages, (if you would like to contribute a translation please get in touch):
