make video loop a smoothe transition

[Aldersgate UMC]

Hello, I made some 30 second videos of some nature scenes, I am using them behind lyrics in mediashout. At the 30 second mark (end of video) when it looops to start again, it just slightly jumps and goes on. I know there is a way to edit it in photoshop, but I don't know how.

Can this be done in Photoshop elements 7? If yes, any easy directions?
Would someone be willing to do this for me and post to the site for everyone?

I will attach one of them so you can see what I am talking about.

The quick and dirty method entails putting the clip into the NLE, and duplicating it a few times back to back with the fade/dissolve transition. Render it into a new AVI file and then do a cut at the midway point of 2nd and 3rd transition, delete everything before it and after it, and render it as a new clip. Rather than your clip abruptly starting and stopping, it will begin with a half of transition and end likewise so when it loops it will fade from the end to the start.

Hello, neighbor! Greetings from Hollister, MO!

I would be glad to loop those video clips for you.

If they are really large, I suggest using yousendit.com versus trying to attached them in email. With their FREE account you'll have to send them one by one, or bundle them in a ZIP file and send them that way.

Richard, this is Dorothy again with my personal sign on - not the church sign on. I am having outlook email problems - Something has gone goofy on my pc and outlook is not working so I didn't have an email for you. I was able to open your email and downloaded the loop. But I can't get it sent to my church address. Can you send it again to ? please. When I get my pc fixed I'll be in touch, I'd love to come to your church and see what you are doing there and maybe gets some ideas or reimforcement that I am doing things ok. Thanks for your work on the look. Dorothy

Church email address is avataldersgatechurchdotcom

I noticed one day while playing with Digital Juice that one of the ones they did had a wipe (covered by a larger version of a background element) that covered a transition.

I think this is one of the best ways to do it. You can do this with individual layers to get a more subtle transition, too, transitioning each layer separately.

just clone the first shot and make it the last as well.
