There�s a problem with the PingPong Option. The last Time-Remapping Keyframe doesn�t fit. It shows the first frame of the LoopVideo. The Cycle Option os useful. Thank You!

Great suggestion. Check out the new v1.6 that now supports both “cycle” and “ping-pong” loop types.

Awesome! Love to hear this kind of feedback, it is the reason I do it in the first place.

As I mentioned before and is shown in the Demo Video. You need to extend the layer to have it actually loop. If your comp is 2;42;22 long and you want it to loop twice then you will need to make your comp three times that length and extend the “_looped” layer to go to the end. Make sense now?

Reviewed the demo again… Maybe it’s the player? I want to loop an entire comp (that is 2;42;22 long) so I am not moving the in and out points. When I render the single layer “looped” comp (as MP4) for playback, the final movie will not loop unless the player (Windows Media or QuickTime) is set to repeat. Unfortunately, this movie will be presented on an embedded player that does not feature repeat. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time.

All you need to do is drag the outpoint (or the inpoint) of the layer to wherever you’d like it to loop until. No need to touch the expressions. Watch the demo video if it isn’t clear.

Hi Lloyd,
I want to use the script to loop a comp infinitely. When I test in a player, the dissolve is in place and the loop begins, but the comp ends as usual. Must I specify # of times to loop in the script properties here: “(time <= key(1).time)" by replacing the (1) with a different number?

Thanks man! I knew how to loop footage but for comps I was duplicating the layers a bunch which is lame so thanks…this worked great.

You don’t need the script if you don’t need a dissolve. Just put this expression on the time-remap property of your footage or comp:
loopOut("cycle");

Hello…will this loop a set of frames without the devolve? Like say a run cycle or something.

It works with any kinds of layers and/or comps/precomps. Have you watched the demo video? Can you give us some more details of what you are selecting and what the error and/or result is? The more info you give us the more likely we will be able to help you.
