Image Media Tab
Loop Mode menu Sets the looping mode.
The loop plays for the whole effect, regardless of the Start
Time and the movie duration. The frame output at Start
Time is the first frame of the first loop (the clip head
frame). The Loop Mode menu options are:
• Forward. Plays the sequence, then repeats from the
beginning. The loop continues until you stop the
preview.
• Back and Forth. Plays the sequence through, then
plays it in reverse. The first and last frames are not
repeated.
• BF Repeat Ends. Plays the sequence through, then
plays it back in reverse, but repeats the first and last
frames.
The movie Start Time aligns the loop; the Start Time is
the first frame of the loop.
Loop Increment Allows you to change the start frame from loop to loop.
