Hello.
In the past I have exported mp4s and set them to loop for smaller looping files on the web. Recently I've noticed a glitch where the animation stops for a beat so you can feel the loop point like a hiccup. I did some trouble shooting to isolate the issue.
- I opened the file with quicktime to test if it is a web issue but the hiccup persists locally.
- I then tried a different codec and extension out of Media Encoder but the hiccup persists. (mpeg, quick time mov,)
- I then tried a render as an .mov from the After effects render. This time the file loops.
Through this series of tests I was able to identify the renderer as the issue rather than the codec, file type, or platform. I would just switch to the Ae rendered but h264 is not a render option from after effect. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
