section then press crl n to create another composition and height I'm going to choose 100 uh or let's say 200 and width is I'm going to choose 1920 only and simply hit okay okay uh press control K to open the project settings we will leave this this withd to 1,000 okay this looks good to me then after that I'm going to select my pen tool and from here to here I'm going to create one line and we are going to choose white color for this line and we will delete this fill we don't need that and we will increase the stroke WID to 20 select this and press control Al home go to the Align Tab and choose align horizontally then go to the contents shape stroke and choose round cap like this and after that I'm going to select my ellipse tool and I'm going to create one ellipse like this and press control Al home to align that Anor Pond to the center select this and let's move this over here now let's go to the add menu and choose uh let's say trim path go to the trim path and let's make this 5050 okay go to the ellipse stroke and choose butt cap to round cap like this hit U select this press R for rotation and let's rotate it to 90° okay now select this and let's uh move this over here okay now select this hit control D and let's uh move this over here like this okay select this and we will delete this go to the we will delete this scam part we don't need that okay so press control K now to open the project settings and we are going to call it as holder now go to the main animation and we will bring our holder over here like this press y to select your pen behind tool and we will bring this Anchor Point over here in the middle of this ball press s for scaling option and scale it like this and we will simply move this stuff over here like this now select this and press R for rotation so see to see how it rotates I think we need to decrease the scale to 50 like this and let's move this somewhere around over here okay and press R for rotation yeah we can rotate it like this now after that we are going to select the ellipse tool we don't need any stroke so let's delete this stroke and we will choose white color for this fill zoom in a little bit and let's move this over here and by holding shift I'm going to create one ellipse like this now select this and press control Al home and we will simply bring this stuff over here like this okay select this head enter and let's call it as ball sorry let's call it as ball okay like this now I'm going to select this ball and I'll make it apparent with this holder select this holder press R for rotation and create one key frame go to around 1 second and let's make this uh one complete rotation so if you see we will get something like this now select those key frame and hit f m so we will get something like this now let's uh select this press P for position let's bring this a little bit down so we can see properly like this now at this point somewhere around over here I want this ball should go down so at this point I'll select this ball and I'll press control shift d to split this layer hit U so if you see and there is no key frame and we will delete this uh not delete but unlink this parenting then press R for rotation and let's make this rotation zero press P4 position create one key frame go to around 3 second and we will bring this downward like this somewhere around over here uh let's go to around 2 second or let's go somewhere around over here create another key frame and in middle of that uh we will bring this upward okay select those key frames and we will hit F9 go to the graph editor zoom in select this by holding shift we'll move this handle over here and this handle over here this handle over here and this handle over here okay like this okay and now we will select this and we will bring this a little bit over here if you want you can move this a little bit forward also okay select this go over here like this or uh you can select this first key frame and by holding control simply click on it like this okay so if you see and go to the graph editor you'll get something like this or you can select this hit F9 again go to the graph editor zoom in a little bit and let's see this let's select this and let's move this a little bit over here in select this move this a little bit over here okay so this is how we will get this animation if I see okay this looks good now go to the start select this holder hit control D hit U and we will we will delete those key frame okay we will bring this at the top and let's go to the last key frame we will select this and we will move this over here until it's going to be properly hold this ball like like at the start so if you see over here this is same and at this point also this is same okay and as you guys know that this animation is ending over here at 4 second so the 4 second is my looping so let's go over here at 4 second select all of them and press control shift C and we will call it as animation and hit key and press F4 and make sure to enable this icon and press n over here now press s for scaling option and scale it like this now zoom in a little bit let's go somewhere around over here and let's move this

bit it this Ed should touch this line then bring one line from here this should touch this line select this animation press P for position create one key frame go to around 4 second let's move this fit and we will move this from here to here and again it should touch this line okay so now if I see this animation I'll get this animation continuously in the form of loop okay like this and press control y to create one solid background or you can choose any kind of background also it's totally up to you but I would suggest press control Y and choose black background uh and then right click new and create one adjustment layer go to the effect and presets panel and search for effect to apply then you can easily Swap this colors and you can choose whatever stuff you want like this okay like I'm going to choose white color over here and we will choose different color over here like let's say purple or something yeah this looks good like this then you can go inside this holder you can uh do this design the way you want like this also so that looks good like this and if you want to be more creative then you can create some lines like this also okay so this is also you can do some stuff like this okay so this is how you can create looping animation inside of [Music] op
