After Effects masks, precomps, opacity

After Effects masks, precomps, opacity

One of the questions I'm asked the most is 'why don't I have insert CC effect name here in my copy of After Effects?' To which the short answers are 'because you're using the demo version' or 'because you ripped the software off a torrent site, you thieving shit'.
But something else I get asked from time to time is 'how do I loop a pre-comp in After Effects?' And this one I'm happy to answer. When you consider how many advanced tools there are in AE, it's surprising that there still isn't an obvious way to do this. Maybe in CS6 perhaps?
Alt-Clic on the timeremap stopwatch to enable expressions. Then in the text field, enter Myleniums loopOut("cycle") expression and it will loop your precomp.
BTW, timeremap always goes I frame after the ast frame of your precomp, so you might want to add a keyframe on the last frame before the timeremap last frame, and then delete the last frame.
You can work around the expression solution but it requires more work.
Place your walk cycle into its own composition with matching duration and size. Render it out as a lossless Quicktime file, with alpha channel if necessary.
Re-import the rendered file, and in Interpret Footage set the number of loops required.
Learning the expression method will be more beneficial in the long run, but the solution above may be handy if you need a quick fix.
