Hello I am super new to Animate and I am making a very simple still photo animate for 1 second. I want to repeat loop it so that when I import it to Premiere as a movie it will be a longer loop than 1 second. I'm hoping for 20-30 seconds? ANy help here would be awesome

    Something worth knowing, there was an update to Animate 20.0.3 today. One of the new features brings back the ability to export video for a given amount of time. You could keep your short loop and export a long video of it repeating.

      THis is good to know as well. Im desperately trying to make my clips longer to bring into premiere. Do you know if I use the export video for this and how will I see how to change the length of the loop?

      There is a feature request to bring back the export for a given time that used to be in Animate. Until that reappears you could duplicate the picture frames along the timeline, to make it as long as you need.

      Just to add to what Colin suggested:

      Or you can put your stuff inside a Graphic Symbol set to Loop and then extend this for the duration of frames you need.

      In this way you will only have one loop inside the container which you can edit and re-time if necessary, rather than having to deal with duplicates.

      Thank you. This is helpful but I am still stuck in the making a graphic of my document stage and unsure how to make a loop of the graphic. I watched a lot of tutorials today but am at a loss. Learning too much too quickly under a deadline.
