If this generates a blank frame at the loop point of your layer (a common problem), you can fix it fairly easily Create a new keyframe at the last frame of your layer, one frame prior to the keyframe that Time Remapping created. Simply right-click the desired layer, select Enable Time Remapping, then apply the loop expression to the layer. If you would like to loop a layer in its entirety, even imported footage, you can do so by applying the Loop Expression of your choosing to the Time Remapping feature of the layer. For instance, if you wanted a layer to grow and shrink infinitely, you would keyframe a layer’s scale property appropriately, then apply the Loop Expression to it by alt-clicking the keyframe button. The Loop Expression is applied to the expression feature of a layer’s property. The PingPong variation of the Loop expression will create an infinite loop, only instead of cycling the animation over and over, it will animate forward, then in reverse, then forward again, and so on. This expression will create a standard infinite loop from the start to end of an animation, as indicated by “ Cycle.” The red ghost keyframes are shown to indicate what this animation would look like done manually.Ĭycle Modeis the default Loop mode, so you can actually achieve the same effect with: The Loop Expression has a simple structure, with two variations: Cycle and PingPong. There are a handful of ways to make an animation repeat itself infinitely within Adobe After Effects, but arguably the simplest and most universally effective of them is the Loop Expression.
