NOTE - In AE 2018 in Mac, you should use Option instead of Command! Thanks for the great video

What about when you have like 20 different layers and some have keyframes that end earlier than others...

Hello, what if I want to loop it for a limited time? Which parameters I should change in the code to set a limit?

[hiimmijk]

Looking for like 40 minutes, this is just what i was looking for, thanks.

[maaere]

thank you for that quick and easy tutorial 😭❤can't imagine how many keyframes i had copy pasted and corrected in the past months until i thought of "there might be an easier solution to this" ❤❤

I keep getting the error "TypeError: loopOut is not a function". I'm doing this on a 'Mask Path.' Does this expression not work for Mask Paths?

[DaveDRC]

simple and fast thats how i love tutorials . thanks alot!

How would you then make a small delay between each looped sequence? I still want a loop but with a 1 second delay between the animation restarting?
