Loop
Use this parameter to move all stops to the right in a looping motion. The Loop is very useful
when animating gradients. Try using this parameter together with the Scale Stops for an
interesting effect. You should, leave all other parameters at their default values. In the
example shown here, the Scale Stop has been set to about 10 on a contour gradient.
Animating Color Stops and Gradient Patterns
You can bring to life a gradient pattern by changing and animating its properties over time.
You can simulate movement or create dynamism simply by animating the color stops. For
example, you can animate the radial gradient to give it a dilating pupil effect.
To animate a color stop:
1. Check the Animate Gradient box in the Gradient tab.
2. Select a color stop.
The controls for the selected Color Stop appear in the timeline.
