How to Make an iMovie Continuously Loop on a Mac

With Apple's iMovie software, you can import your home videos to your computer and then edit them with special effects, music and text elements. Once you have finished editing your movie, you can make it play directly on your computer. If you want to show your movie on your computer for an extended period of time, you should set it to loop continuously, so that it immediately restarts at the end of the video.

Things You'll Need

• Mac running OS X 10.4 or later iMovie 6 or later

Instructions

1. Open the iMovie file that you want to continuously loop on your Mac computer.

2. Go to the "Share" menu in iMovie and select the "Quicktime" option.

3. Select a compression type from the drop-down menu and then click the "Share" button.

4. Type in a name for your movie, choose where to save the file and then click the "Save" button. This will export a copy of the movie that can then be played continuously on your Mac.

5. Navigate to the location where you saved the new copy of the movie in Step 4, and then double-click on the file's icon. The movie will now open in the Quicktime program.

6. Go to the "View" menu in Quicktime and select the "Loop" option.

7. Click the play icon in the center of the Quicktime window to begin playing your movie. Because you selected the loop option, the movie will automatically restart from the beginning once it reaches the end.
