Ability for Looping video seamlessly as last frame is made to match first.

[Zeroghost]

Able to loop active scenes for cycling backdrops or other ideas.  It's like tweening the last 1000 frames to return to the same starting point. Ideas for Water rippling or a mountain stream or waterfall shot, wind-blowing trees and fields of wheat, or other static scenes with active cycling. The first frame is held in memory and when there only remains a few seconds the render goes back to the first frame. A loop render would be oh-so-handy for many uses. Can only be done with a still camera. No movement so the software can get back to the exact scene start.

Hi Zeroghost!

Thank you for your suggestion! We really appreciate your feedback. Currently, products like Premiere Pro and After Effects allow for some looping techniques. However, we will share your suggestion with our development teams to review on this. 

Let us know if you have any questions or if you need help.

Thanks,
KR

@Zeroghost you can do this now using first frame and last frame uploads. Upload the same image to both and it will create a seamless start and end that you can then loop.

You say AfterEffects and Premiere Pro have the ability to use AI to loop the last frame and have it seamlessly match the last few frames to the first frames so that there is no cut or frame jump to the first frame that is clearly only a video loop and not a seamless loop? I cannot find such in the apps. There would need to be a set of "Tweened" frames to then be rendered to match the first frame. Only AI could do that. Can you check that capability as you said?

I know this can be done the hard way, so why not take it out of the external apps and do it within the AI? We should be able to do this within Firefly.
Uses: Looping animations for screen backgrounds for video and greenscreen backdrops. Active backgrounds for video sequences for movie making instead of B-Roll, using a good looped video to mimic an active background that repeats without ending using greenscreen for foreground subjects. Small animations for logos that loop or have color changes and animated reflections. In another few minutes I could think of many more ideas.
