Filter Forge - Successfully Looping An Animation

PixelStar PixelStar Posts: 17 Filters: 2	Good Afternoon, Folks I am using FF 14 Studio and am trying to teach myself animations. I have successfully done a few, however, I am stuck on not knowing how to get the animation to successfully loop... that is, at the end of the animation, it skips. I have tried using curves and tone curves and I cannot seem to get the animation to loop smoothly. I spent an entire day and went through what I could find here. Can someone walk me through this?

I did try hooking a tone curve into the end of one of my filters and placing a wave curve with Normalized time connected to the "phase" in the wave; I then changed the minimum and maximum to opposite in the "remapping" of the normalized time.. this still didn't work; I also tried changing the number of frames from 90 to 100 then to 200
