In After Effects, loop expressions are used to create repetitive and cyclical animations. They allow you to seamlessly repeat or cycle through keyframes, creating continuous motion without the need for manual duplication. Here are explanations for some common loop expressions in After Effects: Example usage: // LoopOut example loopOut(); // PingPong Loop example loopOut(“pingpong”); // […]
