Can one end movie on first frame?

[danielh68]

Hi,

I have several AE files that will be exported as AVI movies. However, I've been requested that every movie is required to loop back to the first frame and end.

I scoured the Make Movie dialog for such an instruction to no avail.

I know there are workarounds, I'm using one right now; however a few extra steps are required. It just seems like there should be an action that says "go to first frame".

Anyhow, if anyone can provide some insight, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Dan

I'd just export the first frame as a bitmap and add it to the end of your timeline.

If this is for web deployment, you can usually use CSS to tell your media player to instantiate the viewer by showing frame #1, which means it'll do exactly as you describe.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,


Edward
