How to Make a Seamless Looping Video for Reels and Shorts

Quick answer

Pick a clip where the end can flow into the start, trim to the point where the motion matches the first frame, keep it under 15 seconds and test it on repeat.

Why loops help

When the end of a video flows straight back into the start, people often watch it twice without noticing. Replays are a strong signal on Reels and Shorts, so loops can improve how far a video travels.

Choose a loopable clip

The easiest loops use repeating motion such as walking, spinning, pouring or a camera move that returns to its start. Static or one time actions can be looped too if you end on the same pose you began with.

Trim to the loop point

Use the Video Trimmer to pick a start and end where the picture matches. Scrub the slider to find the frame at the end that looks most like the first frame, then end right there.

Test it

Play the exported clip on repeat a few times. If you notice the jump, move the end a fraction earlier or later. Keep the whole thing under 15 seconds so the loop feels tight.
