Animating scene objects
Loop to Time
Loop to Frame
Depending upon whether the Keyframe Editor is set to Time or Frame, the Loop field
will be labelled either as Loop to Time or Loop to Frame. Both behave in a similar
fashion, in that when the L
OOP
check box is selected, the animated property settings
that belong to the selected keyframe be will repeated, or looped, during playout
according to the L
OOP
parameters described below.
The following Loop parameters are displayed when you click the drop-down arrow
next to the L
OOP
check box.

the loop function.

: Select the exact frame number where you want the loop to begin from.
•
Time: Select the exact second where you want the loop to begin from.
•

: Allows you to specify how many times the loop will be executed.
Choose N
UMBER
and then the exact number (i.e. 3 means to repeat 3 times) to
have the loop be repeated a specific number of times. Otherwise, select
I

to have the animation loop continuously until the scene is cleared.
Note: Adding an End Loop Animation command channel to the primary animation
allows you to stop all looping objects in an animation. See
for more information.
