Flim strip/loop
by Amit Zinman on Jun 4, 2008 at 8:00:38 pm

Hi,
I am doing a show reel for a customer. My initial idea was to use flying TVs, but the customer didn't like the results and wants a film strip of videos for some projects.
I know a cool film loop can be done using 3rd party plug-ins but I don't have zaxwerks and the like and can't really afford it at this point. So, I am either going for plain vanilla moving film strip unless someone has any ideas of how to make it cooler.

Amit

Stylize->motion tile, keyframe 360,240 1st frame, then go to end of comp and type in something like 6,000, 240.

You will get continuous tiling film of the same footage going right to left and u can use a pre-comp from that and...

If you intend to loop a visual footage item continuously in your project, you only need to create one cycle of the footage item in After Effects.

In the Project panel, select the footage item to loop.
Choose File > Interpret Footage > Main.
Type an integer value for Loop and click OK.

Precomp all that and animate the transform, play around and see what you like.

Now you have looping, tile sliding and whooping! *whoop* whoop!*

It's nice. Not quite what I expected but interesting nonetheless. Now the question is how do I twirl it?
