How to animated imported gif in AE CC from time line.

[tdsilk]

I have a 3-5 second animated gif that I imported and added it to the timeline of my comp.

When I play the movie it plays the 3-5 sec gif and continues to the end of the timeline.

I want the gif to continue to loop throughout the timeline. My guess is that I would have to

repeat the file multiple times. Is this the only option?

Thanks

Is this the only option?

There are a number of ways to loop footage in AE. You can choose how many times to loop from the interpret footage options, you could mess with Time Remapping, you could make a bunch of copies of the layer trimming the end off, etc.
