Not a bad idea, except that for my situation, I'm doing a different clip most of the time, so it would actually take longer.

<p>This is a fast way to copy the clips in succession.</p>

<ol>
<li>Copy the video clip <kbd>CMD</kbd>/<kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd></li>
<li>Target ONLY the track that the loop will be on</li>
<li>Then swiftly insert it multiple times by just holding down <kbd>CMD</kbd>/<kbd>CTRL</kbd> and pressing <kbd>V</kbd> multiple times in a row</li>
</ol>

I should have thought of that! It's MUCH faster than what I've been doing. Thanks a million, I edited the question a little to make it clearer.

Accepted, it certainly is clearer that way ^_^

<p>Is there a better way to take a short video loop (in my case a video watermark) and duplicate it again and again down the full length of my sequence than my current workflow?</p>

<h1>Current Workflow</h1>

<ol>
<li>Place the clip in the sequence</li>
<li>Hold <kbd>Alt</kbd> down and drag a copy down the timeline</li>
<li>Select the new copy and snap it back against the first one</li>
<li>Select both clips</li>
<li>Holding <kbd>Alt</kbd>, drag a new copy of them down the line</li>
<li>Select all clips and repeat step 5.</li>
<li>Repeat 5 &amp; 6 until the clip is looped down the full length of the sequence.</li>
</ol>

<p>Any insight into a faster solution would be MUCH appreciated!</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-08-07)

Is there a better way to take a short video loop (in my case a video watermark) and duplicate it again and again down the full length of my sequence than my current workflow?

# Current Workflow

1. Place the clip in the sequence
2. Hold `Alt` down and drag a copy down the timeline
3. Select the new copy and snap it back against the first one
4. Select both clips
5. Holding `Alt`, drag a new copy of them down the line
6. Select all clips and repeat step 5.
7. Repeat 5 & 6 until the clip is looped down the full length of the sequence.

Any insight into a faster solution would be MUCH appreciated!

This is a fast way to copy the clips in succession.

1. Copy the video clip `CMD`/`CTRL` + `C`
2. Target ONLY the track that the loop will be on
3. Then swiftly insert it multiple times by just holding down `CMD`/`CTRL` and pressing `V` multiple times in a row
