About this loop
Two strands of dots, cyan and magenta, wind into the distance from the lower left, joined by fine rungs with small dots along them. The helix turns once per loop and fades out at its far end, on a clean dark background.
Questions
How do they loop?
Every moving part repeats exactly every 20 seconds, so the last frame flows into the first with no jump. Repeat the clip on your timeline or set your player to loop. In the After Effects project, Speed takes whole numbers (1, 2, 3) so faster versions still loop.
Can I use them over footage?
Yes. The backgrounds are near black, so a loop set to Screen or Add in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or Resolve lays its dots and lines over your footage.
What can I change?
In After Effects: the colors, speed, dot size, dot and line opacity, glow, color separation, grain, brightness and vignette, all on one CONTROLS layer. Each loop also has a camera you can move, and the dots and lines follow it.
Do I need plugins?
No. Everything is built with After Effects' own features, so the projects open in After Effects 2026 or newer without plugins. The MP4s play anywhere.
Can I buy one loop?
No. The eight loops are sold as one pack. They're also included in LaunchFrame Unlimited.
Can I use them in client work?
Yes. Use them in videos, events, livestreams and client work, including monetized video. You can't resell or share the files themselves.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email hello@launchframe.io within 14 days and I'll fix it or refund you.
