Loop a video on any device, from iPhone & iPad to Android or desktop.

Repetition can be a great artistic tool for enhancing the impact of videos. Use Adobe Premiere Rush to turn a single video into a looping clip of any length.

Could you repeat that? If it’s a video, then yes.

Looping videos make compelling web content, music videos, marketing videos, social media posts, and more. They help you add style to simple motions or add emphasis to instructional footage by showing them again and again. You might be tempted to use a free online video looper to quickly loop a video file. But a more complete video editor is a better way to make a video loop that’s professional in quality, doesn’t have a watermark, and can be exported in various aspect ratios for different platforms. Plus, with Premiere Rush, you can loop a video by duplicating it on any device, from iPhone and iPad to Android or desktop.

 

How to loop a video in Premiere Rush.

While there’s no loop-video button in Premiere Rush, you can create a looping video in just a few minutes by editing to create a duplicated clip that plays over and over to appear as though the video is looped.

 

  1. Tap (+) to start a new project, then tap Add Media to upload your video. Premiere Rush supports several types of video files, including MOV, M4V, and MP4.

  2. Cut your clip down to just the section you’d like to loop.

  3. Highlight your clip and tap the (+) icon to the left of the timeline to duplicate it as many times as you need to achieve the length of video that you want.

  4. Click and drag to highlight every clip on the timeline, open the Effects panel to the right, and pull a Transition onto the timeline to smooth out the change between clips. Cross Dissolve is a great option for this.

  5. Export your project.
