How it works
A player's own loop setting only works in that player. Baking the repeats into the file means it loops everywhere — in a social post, in a presentation, in a kiosk display, in an email preview.
Repeat or boomerang
Repeat plays the clip through several times in a row. That works beautifully when the last frame already resembles the first, and jumps noticeably when it does not. Boomerang solves that by playing the clip forwards and then backwards, so it always returns exactly to where it started and the join is invisible.
Boomerang drops the audio
Deliberately. Reversed speech and reversed music are unpleasant, and a boomerang is a visual device. If you need sound over it, add a track afterwards with the add-audio tool.
Why it re-encodes
A straight copy cannot simply be repeated inside an MP4 container in a way every player respects. Re-encoding produces one continuous video that behaves identically everywhere, at the cost of a little quality and some time.
Keep it short
The file grows roughly in proportion to the number of repeats, so five copies of a 10 MB clip is a 50 MB file. Two to four repeats of a short clip is the usual sweet spot.
Loop a video — questions
What is the difference between repeat and boomerang?
Repeat plays the clip again from the start, which can jump. Boomerang plays it forwards then backwards, so it always returns to the first frame seamlessly.
Why is there no sound on my boomerang?
Audio is dropped on purpose, because reversed sound is unpleasant. Add a track afterwards if you need one.
How many times can it loop?
Up to 30, though the file size grows roughly in proportion.
Does it lose quality?
A little — looping requires re-encoding so the result plays consistently everywhere.
