Black Frames in Loop

Hi,

I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAwZr4L56p0 to loop 2 images in 3 seconds to avoid the infinite copy-paste. BUT I have black frames in my .mp4 video after I export with Media Encoder.

What is happening?

thank you, happy Friday!

try to extend the pictures layer at the beginning and the end of the composition (comp 1),

for looping just activate the time remapping and use this expression

loopOut()

so don't move or delete any keyframes from the time remapping

also you can use this expression if you want a Ping-Pong loop

loopOut("pingpong")

I already had extended layers in COMP 1

as soon as I activate LoopOut the frame becomes black

see before and after, I am really confused why it is adding a black frame, because it loops but with the 2 images + a black frame! :-/

i think you don't get what i ask you for,

i ask you to extend the image layer inside the (Comp 1) and not the (Comp 1) it self

after this try to remove all the time remapping keyframes than apply the time remapping from scratch after that apply the expression i give it to your in the previous reply

loopOut()

try post  a screenshot for your AE preview and your final output,

anyway did you change the render setting? mainly the resolution?

see below my original comp with the 2 photos (this is the comp I want to loop and is currently 18 micro second)

The other screenshot is the one of the main comp where I see a black frame...

Do you have black frames in AE preview - full resolution, too?

it did not seem like it but I triple checked and I had a black frame in my single comp and didn't show in the main comp!
