Looping

[what_happened]

OK, I can get pretty close, but I do see a small jump between the last frame and the first.

Using Partilce emitter:

Birth rate: 1.0

Generated by frame

fixed (start frame -90)
90 key frames total in animation

particle limit: 1000

What else can I do to make this fire seamless?

I am wondering if I should actually do this in AE.

Render out 110 frames, and fade the last 10 frames to zero, while I add in another layer on top of that of the animation again. But I can see where I will run into trouble... never-ending layers.

It can't be that hard to loop fire, I am just missing some small setting I am sure.

If you have any experience, please help.

thanks

Here there is a technique of Loopable Chaos", I believe that you can adapt it to the fire effect that you need :)
