Then from the Menu bar, select <b>Composition &gt; Trim Composition to Work Area<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>Create a new composition (<b>Command N<\/b>) and keep your settings the same as the original composition. Then place the newly trimmed composition that you wish to loop (from the project panel) into your newly created composition by dragging it to the new composition panel (See note *).<\/li>\n<li>Now, in the new composition, go to the Menu bar and select <b>Layer &gt; Time &gt; Enable Time Remapping<\/b>. Time Remapping will create two key frames: one at the beginning of your composition and one at the end.<\/li>\n<li>Move to the very last key frame, step backwards one frame, and create a new keyframe.<\/li>\n<li>On the very last keyframe, double click on it and change the time to 0. Then double click on the last keyframe and delete it from your composition.<\/li>\n<li>Select the <b>Time Remapping<\/b> effect from the layer&#8217;s composition panel to activate it, and from the Menu bar, select <b>Animation &gt; Add Expression<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>Time Remapping will now have an expressions box in the composition.
