Community Q&A
- QuestionHow do you save the video once it is looped?
Community AnswerIf you have chosen to create a slideshow in order to loop your video, all you will need to do is maintain the slideshow settings and your video will be looped whenever you access it. If, however, you have chosen to loop your video using an application, then the video will remain looped the next time you play it but only within the looping application. - QuestionWhat should I do if I want to loop it so I can post it on Instagram?
Awesome BotCommunity AnswerInstagram automatically loops any videos that are uploaded, so no need to worry about that. - QuestionWhy does the video sound disappear?
AlexTop AnswererThat’s because when you loop a video, it turns into a GIF format, so it doesn’t have any sound.
