Looping precomp?

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to nest a looping pre-comp into a longer timeline and have it loop?

    Correct answer Kyle Hamrick

    You can tell footage to loop (Right-click > Interpret Footage), but not with comps.

    Time Remapping is the easiest way to do it. Enable it, ensure the keyframes are what you want, and then you can add an expression by alt/opt-clicking on the stopwatch. Type loopout().

    Voila! It'll loop forever.

    Totally. Obviously, build your animation within the precomp to start and end at the same thing. You can loop either by using Time Remapping, or you could duplicate your precomp several times and simply offset the timing.

    Thats what I normally do. Just wishing there was a way to just tell it to do so like a Flash Movie Clip

    loopOut() ...... not loopout()
