Seamless Looping and Presets
by Larry Sankey on Aug 17, 2009
This doesn't always work with Fractal Noise presets in CS4 unless you return some of the settings back to their original values. If Transform Rotation, Subsettings Subrotation, etc. are set, you will have to either remove the keyframes (making the loop less varied) or slowly return them to their original value (which can make the video look as if it's reversing direction, but smoothly) in order to get a seamless loop.
