Loopable background
17126 views
When you’re creating background for a DVD project, website, or a TV commercial it’s always good to know how to loop your animation.
Maybe this tutorial isn’t something very unique, but I’ve seen a lot of people asking questions about creating a loopable backgrounds, so here we are. Learn how to use blending modes and very powerful and often unappreciated fractal noise filter. Make a loop out of your background animation and make it look even more exciting by applying textures and lights to create a final look.

Thank you. Those are standard plugins. If you don’t have them than maybe they come only in Professional version of After Effects.

Maltaannon, Thank you! I have been searching for a loopable tutorial. I’ve just entered the world of video creating, editing, and fx and your site will definitely accelerate my learning. Excuse my ignorance, how can I create those same Jpgs in Photoshop as 720×480?
Again, thanx. Blessings on you and yours,

Neat effect but over my head. I wish you’d have a tut with more detail on how/why you split that track to make a smoothly looping movie. Also, I’m a little weak on the comps within comps stuff. I will definitely PayPal you, friend.

Any one knows how to loop a audio file…?
Berlin said this July 4th, 2008 at 16:59
Sure. I do, but it’s hard to explain without hearing the audio. Call me up on skype or simply use text messages on skype. We’ll figure something out.
