Trying to Loop MP4 animation out of Animate

I've got a simple animation in Animate. I export it to make the MP4 using Media Encoder. It plays fine but doesn't loop and I want it to repeat over and over. I've seen directions that say you can see Loop in the Publish Settings but it's not there. Some help would be appreciated.

Hi.

The .mp4 file is just data that will be used by a video player. The file itself doesn't contain any information regarding loop.

What you can do is to set the video player which you intend to use to loop the video infinitely.

Or you can export from Animate to an interactive format, like .html, and set the video element to loop your video.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

JC

Thank you, I'll look into this format. I'm eventually uploading to Facebook.

That would be a Facebook function then. Any video under 30 seconds long will loop automatically for up to 90 seconds on the site:
