About this loop
Film light leaks and burns swell in from the edges of a black frame and fade again, running from deep red through amber and gold to a hot core where they are strongest. Thin anamorphic streaks drift slowly across, with red halation, a faint projector flicker and film grain, like light on a real film frame. Leak, streak and flicker amounts are sliders.
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, and a comp extended to 40 or 60 seconds loops too.
What can I use them in?
Anything that plays an .mp4: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, OBS, Resolume or a venue screen. The After Effects projects need After Effects 2023 or newer. No plugins.
Can I change the colors?
Yes, in After Effects. Each loop has its named colors and its own sliders, such as line width, refraction, dot size or leak amount, plus Speed, Brightness, Grain Amount, Color Separation and a Vignette switch, all on one CONTROLS layer.
Will the gradients band?
The 4K files are about 40 Mbps H.264 with a fine static dither, and the film grain dithers the gradients too. Heavy re-compression, like a low-bitrate stream, can still band the smoothest areas. If you see it, raise Grain Amount in the project and render at 16 bpc.
Can I buy one loop?
No. The seven loops are sold as one pack. They're also included in LaunchFrame Unlimited.
Can I use them in client work?
Yes. Use them in client projects, ads, events, livestreams and monetized video. You can't resell or share the files themselves.
