Hey! So I have an animation that, once finished playing, I would like to reverse and have it play backwards. From there, I would like to to play it forwards again etc in a continuous loop, almost. Basically have it going back and forth on the timeline. Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks!
To flip an animation, select all the keyframes and scale them by -1 on the x axis. Also, the Animation Nodes add-on has a node that allows you to do that.
If you just want to look at it locally on your machine, after it is rendered play the rendered animation (Ctrl F11) and then press "p" inside the playback and it will ping-pong (hence the 'p')
If you want to do it in a more permanent fashion, add your forward clip to the VSE and then duplicate it and in the properties panel, under 'filters' click 'reversed'.
Then render out your loop or duplicate the 2 strips as many times as you need.
