Yes, different durations. And I already added the videos to the composition thinking it would be easy to loop them later on. But now I set them all to loop, but when I render it, they only run once, then go to black. Although their new durations are shown in the timeline.

Does the extended duration look fully opaque or semi-transparent?

The normal duration is full color, and the extended duration is semi-transparent I think. There is a border at least, not sure if it's semi-transparent inside.

All you need to do is extend the tail-end of the normal duration. That's the only part trimmed for display in the composition.

Yes, that was it. Find out after a while.

<p>I created a grid of about 50 videos. I want them all to loop so I changed the loop count of the videos via <code>Interpret Footage &gt; Main... &gt; Loop</code>. The changes show up in the timeline, but they are not applied. When I let it preview it, the videos only run once.</p>

Loop count in video clip settings, how to apply changes to composition?

# Loop count in video clip settings, how to apply changes to composition?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-20)

I created a grid of about 50 videos. I want them all to loop so I changed the loop count of the videos via `Interpret Footage > Main... > Loop`. The changes show up in the timeline, but they are not applied. When I let it preview it, the videos only run once.

I don't want to add those 50 clips again to the composition and apply the transforms.
