Good Afternoon, Folks
I am using FF 14 Studio and am trying to teach myself animations. I have successfully done a few, however, I am stuck on not knowing how to get the animation to successfully loop... that is, at the end of the animation, it skips. I have tried using curves and tone curves and I cannot seem to get the animation to loop smoothly. I spent an entire day and went through what I could find here. Can someone walk me through this? |

Yes, I will provide some examples later of repeating functions (like sine waves) vs non-repeating functions (like offset).

Thanks!
I did try hooking a tone curve into the end of one of my filters and placing a wave curve with Normalized time connected to the "phase" in the wave; I then changed the minimum and maximum to opposite in the "remapping" of the normalized time.. this still didn't work; I also tried changing the number of frames from 90 to 100 then to 200 |

It also depends on what you are trying to loop. What does the final image look like compared to the beginning image..

Here is an example of a repeating function (sine) and the other animation, an offset in FF14. The first one is continuous. The second is not, so I break the animation up by going from time 0 to 1 to 0 to .5, then .5 to 0, doing the appropriate math to offset from -.25 to .25. I can provide more info if needed.
