Re: So I bought Action Movie essentials...

Thanks Ron,
I haven't really thought about using the time remapping - but you hit on why it wouldn't work in my situation - the fog does indeed move in one direction.

But my problem isn't really making the fog loop though - I've got that working (setting the evolution times around to the same number, or multiple of the evolution cycle setting), I'm just not all that happy with how realistic my fog looks. I like Andrew Kramer's fog but it's footage and not looping. It's also 20 seconds less than I need.. That is what I'd like to loop if possible.

So my question, hopefully more clearly stated, is:

a) How would I loop a quicktime file of fog

or

b) Can anyone offer suggestions on how to make my own fog look more realistic (I'll have to post a less compressed version of my example later)

But thanks again, maybe I can play around with the time remapping and Andrew's clip along with cross fading / opacity tweaking to get something decent...
