Motion Designer loop animation

[kastor]

hey guys!
is it possible to do that?
i want to make a screensaver from an avi file
i need 120 frames animation of a blowing flag, but when animation finished it must start again
how can i match the shape of the flag from last frame, to the flag's shape from the first frame?
hope anyone may help
thanx in advance

How did you animate the flag?

And yes, it's possible to loop with Motion Designer.

have a flat box
the points from the left side are converted to polys with different surface than the flag, which i'm using as fixet in md
put same wind,gravity and that's all..a very simple animation
so how i can make a loop animation?
thanx

Make your animation into a morph, then take the last frame and reapply it. I can't think off the top of my head the Layout plug-in to save out morphs, but that's how I'd do it.

I got mixed up with Motion Mixer.

gonna try that

thanx a lot for your help Lamont :)

This plug-in may do it for you...

I did something like this once with waves on water. I wanted a seamless loop. Used Premiere (any compositing app would do) to splice half the frames I needed to a time-reversed sequence of the same frames. If it's random motion, like waves or a flag, you do not notice the reversal.

good idea Heimhenge

i'll try digital fusion
