I want the location marker to have a subtle blinking effect, like a radar screen. It will look something like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-99423 size-full\" title=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 End Result\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Location-on-Map-FULL.gif\" alt=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 End Result\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, let me show you how we can put this together very quickly using only a few keyframes and a simple expression.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cCq8QJj_ns0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"step-1-create-your-animation\">Step 1 \u2014 Create Your Animation<\/h3>\n<p>My location marker consists of two ellipse shapes. I\u2019ll use one to create the animation effect, while the other will\u00a0be stationary. Initially, I just need to animate the first cycle of the animation. To do this, I will animate the scale and opacity attributes of my second ellipse shape. I\u2019ll keyframe the scale to go up while the opacity will go down. This first animation cycle only takes 4 keyframes to create and will give me my radar blip effect. I\u2019ll time the animation to last for one second.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-99424 size-full\" title=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Create Animation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg\" alt=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Create Animation\" width=\"750\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg 750w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=300,170 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=277,157 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=359,203 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=543,307 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=560,317 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-01.jpg?resize=150,85 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"step-2-loop-the-animation\">Step 2 \u2014 Loop the Animation<\/h3>\n<p>To loop this animation, I could simply copy the shape layer and then paste it as many times as I need \u2014 and maybe even precomp it to makes things more organized. However, this method has a few drawbacks. First of all, if I want to change the timing of the animation or the color or position of the marker, it might quickly become complicated with so many layers and keyframes. A much easier method is to use an expression.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unfamiliar with them, expressions can be quite intimidating. Even if you do know how to use them, they can still be confusing. How do you know what to use if you don\u2019t understand the language involved?<\/p>\n<p>Well, one way to apply expressions is with the Expression Language Menu. I\u2019ll use this to easily apply a loop to my animation. To do this, I will simply alt+click on the scale attribute and then open the Expression Language Menu via the small arrow in the expression controls. Then, I\u2019ll select the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>Property &gt; loopOut(type = &#8220;cycle&#8221;, numKeyframes = 0)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once applied, I can now do the same thing with the opacity. Now both of these properties will loop for as long as the layer is on the timeline.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-99425 size-full\" title=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Loop Animation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg\" alt=\"Video Tutorial: How to Loop an Animation in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Loop Animation\" width=\"750\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg 750w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=300,128 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=277,118 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=359,153 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=543,231 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=560,238 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-02.jpg?resize=150,64 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"step-3-customize-the-loop\">Step 3 \u2014 Customize the Loop<\/h3>\n<p>The brilliance of using this expression is the versatility it\u00a0offers when I\u00a0want to customize the animation or the graphic. For instance, if I want to speed up the effect, I can simply move the end keyframes either forward or backward. Now the animation will loop at the new speed. (This would be much more complicated with a large number of keyframes.) Also, if I want to change the position or any other attribute, it\u2019s very easy.<\/p>\n<p>Again, with the loop expression, I only need to add a few keyframes to bring this animation to life and make it loop. If I want to do this without the expression, it would require\u00a0nearly 40 keyframes for just a 10-second clip. (And manipulating all of these keyframes would be quite tedious.)<\/p>\n<p>As a final touch, I\u00a0will duplicate\u00a0the animated ellipse and then shift the duplicate in time slightly.\u00a0This will give me a more dynamic location marker animation with two overlapping blips.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg\" alt=\"Loop an Animation in Adobe AE 03\" width=\"750\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg 750w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=300,99 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=277,92 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=359,119 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=543,180 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=560,185 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Loop-an-Animation-in-Adobe-AE-03.jpg?resize=150,50 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more After Effects tutorials?
