Re: [ot?] making looping avi's or mov's

["deusirae" <deusirae@info.com.ph>]

The simplest way to make  a true loop out of live action footage is to
buttsplice a piece of footage to a reversed copy. Glass-Falls-Smashes is
buttspliced to sehsamS-sllaF-ssalG. This procedure makes sure that the
frame 1 can cleanly/logically/visually  lead into both frame 2 OR frame N.
(Am I making sense?) 

Unlike audio, where crossfades between 2 audio sources can sound like a
sound in itself, a video crossfade is perceived as dramatically different
from live footage.

If you're doing animation, you're freer,and your loops don't have to have
the ABC...CBA mirror structure. 

Hope this helps-

Tad
