HOW DO I MAKE AUDIO CLIPS LOOP IN PREMIERE OR ELSWHERE?

    解決に役立った回答 TTTipsy

    None of these answers are correct.

    My brother found this thread, looking for help, and left in frustration, asking me for the answer instead.

    Kevin-Monahan's answer is only half-complete.

    Here's the full answer:

    To loop a video or audio clip on the timeline, right click it and select "Nest..."

    Name the nest whatever you like.

    Now, double click the nested clip you just created. This will enter the nested sequence.

    NOW, you can select the clip, copy it, and paste it multiple times. (Just keep hitting CTRL V, and the playhead advances forward automatically to place the next clip.)

    Return to the main sequence.

    Now, you can use the selection tool to extend that nest as much or as little as you like.

    This is a far superior method, because a nested sequence is a SINGLE CLIP that can be resized, given effects, moved, lengthened, and shortened very easily.

    Hi TTTipsy,

    Thanks for the response. I marked your answer as the correct one now since it's better.

    Regards,

    If you want to loop audio or video in the timeline, you first need to set in and out points for your clip (right click in at the top of the time line and Mark In/Mark Out, or use controls in playback window).  Once you have done this, you then have to turn on looping.  I have found that in the last few version of Premiere, the loop function keeps moving. 

    As of right now (Premiere Pro CC October 2015), you need to go to your program/playback monitor, and on the bottom right hand side you will see a plus button.  Hit this to bring up options for other buttons the playback controls can display.  One of them is a loop function. Drag this to the bottom of the monitor window, turn it on, and then your clip will loop infinitely between the markers.  This is great for adjusting applied effects on the fly.

    In older versions of Premiere, you'll find the looping in the options menu in the upper right hand corner of the playback monitor.  The options menu is a little button...easy to miss.

    Another helpful key combo is Shift+K which resets and plays your audio from wherever you first clicked in the timeline.  This one is very helpful for audio too.

    Hope that helps.  Took me forever to find!

    GREAT answer this works awesome for looping a clip or any section in PR. Audio/Video. In some apps you just press Ctrl+L on a clip and the clip loops forever until you press stop. this has a similar result with a few more key strokes/mouse moves.

    You can do it in AE by just setting the number of loops in the Footage Interpretation window. Making a seamless audio loop in Audition is also a simple matter. Just looping audio by repeating the track will not usually work to create a seamless audio bed. What are you trying to do?

    Thanks RickI use some long clips of horse riding and the relevant instructions involved in equine assisted therapy. Most of the audio I have is short, so I wanted to make longer tracks by looping.Ray Holland (equinoterapia)

    My comment that answers "Kevin-Monahan"


    OK

    There is no way to LOOP a sequence by exporting it into a movie file.

    Its logic ...because a Sequence is finite.

    Looping an output can only be done automatically by authoring a DVD (AFAIK).

    Otherwise..its up to the "player"...but that not automatically looped and requires viewer input. (Press Loop.)

    BTW - the OP got the answer to his question from Kevin.  He was not after a "loop".
