The Loop setting in the Frames panel determines how many times the animation repeats. This feature loops frames over and over so you can minimize the number of frames needed to build the animation.

To set the selected animation to repeat:

  1. Select Window > Frames to display the Frames panel.
  2. This is a picture of the feature being described.Click the GIF Animation Looping button at the bottom of the panel.
  3. Select the number of times to repeat the animation after the first time.

    If you select 4, for example, the animation plays five times in all. Forever repeats the animation continuously.
