Loop Video

What it is

Block to loop a video to a given duration or number of repeats.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

The block uses MoviePy's Loop effect to repeat a video clip. You can specify either a target duration (the video will repeat until reaching that length) or a number of loops (the video will repeat that many times). The Loop effect handles both video and audio looping automatically, maintaining sync. Either duration or n_loops must be provided. The output is encoded with H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec.
