Loop Out Expression

This expression repeats a set of keyframes back and forth, creating seamless animations.

If you're animating a ball moving from left to right by keyframing its position, you can use the loopOut("pingpong") expression. This will make the ball move continuously back and forth between the keyframes, creating a smooth, endless left-to-right movement without duplicating keyframes.

loopOut("pingpong")

How to Use This Expression?

  1. Select the property: For example, Position, Scale, Opacity, etc.

  2. Add keyframes: Create an animation for the property you want to loop.

  3. Apply the Expression: Alt + Click (Windows) or Option + Click (Mac) the stopwatch icon of the property. Type loopOut("pingpong") in the expression field. Press Enter or click outside the text field to apply.


pingpong: The animation reverses its direction at the end keyframe and repeats backward.

loopOut(): Repeats the keyframe animation starting from the last keyframe.
