I would like to rotate something, every 10 seconds and every Each rotate has a duration of 2 seconds. How do I add the 10 sec variable to a loop expression? I assume AE can do this, I'd prefer not to keyframe it. Thank You For Help.

You need to animate the rotation with at least 2 keyframes. Then use this expression in the rotation parameter

loopOutDuration(type = "offset", duration = 10)

The vale 10 will represent when the cycle will repeat (every 10 seconds). Offset will continue the rotation in an additive way. If you want the cycle to repeat form the start change "offset" for "cycle"

How much are you rotating each time? Is it cumulative, or does it start over each time? Does the 10 seconds include the 2 seconds?

Rotate once or twice at a time, not including ten seconds. That is, after 10 seconds, the object rotates for two seconds or one second. Could I get what I mean?

I don't think this is exactly what you're asking for, but it might get you started. No keyframes required.

holdTime = 10;
rotateTime = 2;

period = holdTime+rotateTime;
t = (time - inPoint)%period;
startVal = Math.floor((time - inPoint)/period)*360;
linear(t,holdTime,period,startVal,startVal + 360)
