Cool little piece of code for looping in AE

Working on a DVD menu for Gamma Ray for a movie called “Executive Koala”. Not sure how to describe the movie other than its exactly what the title says plus 4(on a scale of 1-5).

But, I needed to loop some animation stills from the original time of about 1sec -> 45sec. So instead of duplicating the layer 45 times and sequencing it I just popped in this code: loop_out(“cycle”,0)

You put that on the layer you want to loop after enabling time remapping and precomping it into a layer of the desired length. The code goes on the Time Remap function in the layer.

It comes from this tutorial on Creative Cow. A tutorial I’ve gone back to many times for the basics.

More on “Executive Koala” as it becomes available!
