How to Make a Looping Video Clip in Final Cut Pro

Creating a looping video can be useful for a wide variety projects. The problem is that just piecing two repeated clips together causes an awkward and ugly “jump.” In this video, I’ll show you how to make a “seamless” looping video with Final Cut Pro.

Thanks for short and informative video without 30 min of talking.

[@PedroPonciano-qh1bt]

Thank you for that, not so easy to figure out the look point but it works ! thanks again

[@SoulSovereignty]

The key thing I want to learn...is how to make a small clip (e.g. six seconds long) be repeated for the duration of the video, I also don't want to paste that a dozen times, then take the whole segment and paste that a dozen times.
What I want is the ability to say "this segment will loop until the five minute mark" or "this segment will loop until another segment X is completed." In other words, I want a programmatic loop...rather than a massive cut-and-paste job.
I'm new to the whole world of video editing and I find it bizarre that, so far, I've only seen demonstrations that are based on patiently pasting endlessly.

[@GoodxJ]

same thing I want to do with a video of clouds, have you found a solution....

[@fletcherwells]

Still not the perfect solution, but you can copy and paste a clip a few types and then use "option g" to merge all those clips together and treat them as a single clip. Much easier to work with than a bunch of copy-and-pasted, unmerged clips.
This video explains the process: czcams.com/video/xfgW9r8yvk0/video.html

[@sleepingtopic5967]

thanks bro

[@GoodxJ]

it's still jumping on my video of clouds, it won't seamlessly loop doing this trick.....

[@andylauthmusic]

Hello, thanks for the video. How can I do it when I didn't use a tripod and I have a slightly different image section. Is there a way how I can zoom a little and tell that the objects in the pictures stay at the same place?

[@rianetyler]

Thank you for making this short and to the point, this was useful and a easy skill to learn!

[@undergroundlord1920]

very helpful tutorial thanks dude !
but when i do that why my video goes blurry when it crosses the cut ? please help me im struggeling because when i did it the first time it worked perfectly but now its always blurry when it gets over the cut

[@panzonecadutodifaccia]

looooove it

[@Infinitychillcheers]

hi! is there a way to loop a certain part of video clip and just drag that clip as long as you want and it will loop, without copy pasting that clip a bunch of times, just like it's done with audio in audio editors?

[@MikestorM]

nice

[@hardikpatel1598]

I tried work 1st time, then after I select proxy media and working on it does show jump on transition ( not working as needed) why

[@ricci777]

I did this exactly like you did, with a shorter looping clip, it jumped harder than originally. Simple 1 sec cross dissolve looked way better.

[@weallwegotfilms415]

[@emilkirchev7632]

hey how can one make audio on a loop?

[@becalm7779]

How do you cut?

[@ThomasMcGeeTV]

“B” is the keyboard shortcut or you can click the scissors icon above the timeline.

[@RodrigoBussad-uc1hr]

does not work. I can still see the shadows created by the two overlapped videos

[@riharrds]

Thank you!
