Loop bars during editing, are a thing in rush?

[Raf-nx]

Hello everyone, 

Maybe I'm missing the option, but  I can't find it.

I was wondering if there's the possibility to have bars for lopping during editing, bar A and bar B, like any other video editor.
If not, there's a chance that it will be added in future versions? 

thank you for any feedback.

Hi @Raf-nx,

I don't think so. What do you mean by "bars?" Sorry, that I'm not envisioning what you are describing.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, 

The two sticks that you position in the timeline are called looping bars (no?); let's say you have a 2-minute long edit, but you need to loop just 10 seconds to check in a continuous loop that video effect or sound mix, and while the program keeps lopping that selection you make your adjustments, without moving the play bar/stick back to the starting point or in the case on Ipad or iPhone slide back with your finger the play bar and press play to reproduce that parts that you want to edit/listen/check.
Once you set point A to point B and click "loop",  the program will loop forever whatever is inside that selection; you can also use inverted so the program jumps that part inside the two bars, which sometimes is helpful if you want just quickly check if that edit works better without that selected part, without muting or deleting those files.

Does it make sense? 
Let me know. Thanks 🙂

.... also, you can select a portion of the timeline and export only that, without exporting the whole movie.
( I actually need to do that right now, that's why I write it now 😄 ..., but I can't, because the looping bars aren't there!  I have to export the whole thing and then cut the part later) 😄 

cheers

Got it, @Raf-nx.

It sounds like you want to loop in to out with the ability to adjust effects. I know exactly what you want to do. Sorry, that is not available in Rush.

I do this all the time in Premiere Pro. It gets even crazier in After Effects with the Ping Pong loop playback. I do hope the team grants your feature request, though!

Thanks,
Kevin

Yeah exactly that!
 I know that it might be complicated in a small screen to have that kind of option, but hopefully the team will come up with a smart solution to incorporate that function one day. Thank you anyway, cheers 🙂

I'd love to see that too. Thanks so much!

Hi @Kevin-Monahan , I was thinking instead of the "looping bars" as we talked about, which might be complicated to control on a small screen, It would be possible to add a button with the loop sign that loops the entire video so it will be easier to do short video Social media ready.

YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok already have this function, and integrating it into Rush does not seem complicated at the interface level.

Because now, if I want to see if the video loops correctly, I have to export and then upload it to any social media and check with their video editor if the loop is correct. ... it seems too much work for just editing the loop 😄 ...no?

Also, there is still the issue with the sound at the end of the clip that skips or jumps; this makes the editing of the loop a nightmare. Every time, I need to cut the clip longer and then trim it down on the social media editor. 
I noticed through the forum that this is an old bug, is there any chance it will get fixed soon? 🙂

Thank you for your patience and support.
