LoopMaster earns its place in the aescripts library for covering keyframes, items, wiggle, spin and orbit under one seamless-loop workflow, with broad After Effects version support.
LoopMaster is a script for After Effects built around making seamless loops. It can loop keyframes, items, wiggle, spin and orbit, and its intended outputs include GIFs, NFTs, Lottie animations and social media posts. Version 1.3 runs on a wide range of releases, from CC 2015 up through After Effects 2026.
The script lets you set the Time Reference for a loop to Composition, Layer or Markers, and it includes a button to add Markers for use as that reference. LoopItem can loop media even when its start or end has been cut, automatically pre-composing the media so the loop still works. Loop Keyframes & Path and LoopItem both offer a PingPong option.
Recent updates also brought UI improvements and documentation updates alongside the license framework changes. A demo video is available, and this catalog lists LoopMaster as free. For current licensing details, check the developer's page.
LoopMaster is best for after Effects users making seamless loops for GIFs, NFTs, Lottie animations and social media posts.
LoopMaster is completely free to download and use.
LoopMaster supports After Effects 2026, along with 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020. It also covers the older CC releases: CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3 and CC 2015. That range means the script runs on both current and legacy installations without needing a specific recent version. The listed version is 1.3, last updated on February 12, 2025. If you work across several machines on different After Effects releases, this compatibility span keeps LoopMaster usable across them.
LoopMaster lets you choose the Time Reference for a loop from Composition, Layer or Markers. This option was added in version 1.1. The script also includes a button that adds Markers to work as the Time Reference with LoopMaster, so you can set marker-based timing directly. Choosing between composition, layer or marker timing gives you control over what a given loop is measured against. If you need loops aligned to specific points rather than the whole comp or layer, the Markers reference combined with that button covers it.
LoopMaster can loop a media item even if you cut its start or end. This came in the version 1.2.1 LoopItem update: the script automatically pre-composes the media so the loop still functions after trimming. Both Loop Keyframes & Path and LoopItem also offer a PingPong option, added in version 1.3. So if you have shortened a clip and still want a clean loop, LoopItem handles the pre-composing step for you rather than requiring you to set it up manually beforehand.
LoopMaster is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, the most reliable place to confirm current details is the developer's page on aescripts. The script's changelog does reference a license framework, including updates in versions 1.2 and 1.1.1 and fixes for activation and deactivation errors, so activation is part of how it is distributed. For the latest word on pricing, licensing and activation, refer to the developer's official listing before you install.
