Loops How and where?

I have created some backgrounds in photoshop with a nice gradient and a faded star shape that fills the whole bg. I want to create a loop from this image by which the star keeps rotating while I present information. Can someone help me on how I can create loops using different images in Photoshop or other program

Also, are there any free loops web sites out there. I am impressed with digital juice but they are expensive for my budget right now

Thanks for your help

Determine how fast you want to rotation to be and drag out the image on the timeline to match one revolution.

Set a keyframe at the first frame cropped enough so that the edges won't show during rotation, then set a keyframe at the last frame, but rotate the image 359 degrees (you can type that in to the rotation field).

Render that out for safe keeping, and when you loop it, you should have a continious rotation.

Great, I tried it and it worked super. The only down side is when I crop the image lets say to 400 x 293, I lose some of the nice gradient at the edge. I tried to resize the image in photoshop but didnt go still, I guess I will have to resize image in photoshop but add some unwanted border to it so when its cropped I still keep the inside details

Thanks again. I guess there is no limit to what you want to achieve with Vegas

Thanks for providing the links to free loops. I guess free still cant compare to what Digital Juice provides :)
