[@moonkute93]

thank u so much!!! YOU'RE LIFE SAVER!!!!

[@auroraghost6462]

Oh my god thank you. You're the only tutorial who was straight to the point and even brought up the comp cutting shortcut. Definitely subbing for more!

[@ColinHarman]

loopOut(type="cycle",numKeyframes=0)

[@JeaviMont]

thanks

[@jamesl1577]

i love you

[@MrExtendet]

good man

[@vishaljadeja2089]

Thank you

[@TheDripGodz]

Thank you

[@Euclidean3141]

This is the most straight forwards explanation - thank you so much! I have tried following other videos/tutorials, but yours is the only one that I managed to get to work first time without any problems!

[@dropthebassline]

EXTREMELY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

[@cover2999]

Y u shouting?

[@pixelandbracket]

Y ur yt name shouting?

[@NaniParlapalli]

Your explanation in the first 30 secs assured me I would get exactly what I came for. Thanks :)

[@MADB0X]

I skipped first 3min and get what I wanted. Thank You!

[@divyawarrier9081]

You are an absolute saviour. I spent 2 hours reading and watching tutorials. This was the simplest and the best. Thank you so much

[@leanneland]

This is a detailed, well explained and straight forward description of what to do - thank you so much!

[@arthurdefreyn7760]

Thank you man! This is exactly the tutorial i was looking for. The tutorials of other people - despite also being helpful - always had something lacking.
When i tried to follow other tutorials i had this problem that the image would disappear for a single frame. Now, after following this short video, i'm finally able to successfully loop my pre-compositions. Seriously, for a second i thought i would have to spend the whole day trying to fix this, probably by the worst way possible by copying and pasting the segments repeatedly.
God bless you!

[@Saintworksart]

This is extremely helpful and appreciate that you get straight to the point and you clearly demonstrate

[@pewtv5027]

Thanks man you were the only who gave clear explanations and also loop without losing first/last key frames

[@CelotehTV]

Nice. Thank you so much for the lesson dude!

[@kdfjnasdjkfnaslfknsalkfnsa6728]

Thank you for your tutorial! It really works fantastic and your explanation is really easy to understand! It's much better than other video clips tried to make me understand as quick as possible.

[@Reebert02]

This. Was. AMAZING! So simple, so helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@Farkaz]

I LOVE YOU i watched like 10 tutorials and this was the one who really helped me

[@globaljuli]

1:50 That's the point that all the tutorials forget to say, you did it really clear, thank you!

[@pixelandbracket]

I appreciate it, wanted to be extra clear in this one because of its weirdness

[@Ross_Garden]

@@pixelandbracket Right, I see. Otherwise you get a flicker, if you don't come back a frame. Thanks for this BTW - I tried two other tutorials and couldn't get them to work - yours did first time! Thank you.

[@CuriosityCulture]

YESSS, you are literally the best. You made it super easy to understand my dude. Thank you.

[@bot8.1]

Thank you so much for making this video. That initial step with the keyframes before inserting the script removes the blank keyframe one may encounter. Once again, thank you. :)

[@GeorgiaMT98]

Thanks so much, this saved me - this was more thorough than other tutorials - selecting the hotkey "n" to trim the animation is a real handy trick.
