How do I set an action to repeat (or loop) automatically?

Postby waincat on Sun May 06, 2007 12:32 am

I created an action that applies filters to one frame of a video animation and moves ahead to the next frame. In this way, I can press "play" over and over again to apply the same filters to every frame of the video animation. I'd like to take it up a notch by having it automatically repeat the action until it reaches the end of the video or I tell it to stop somehow.

I could run a macro program that would automate my mouse-clicks, but that has the disadvantage of occupying my mouse and monitor layout. If I could do it within Photoshop, I'd be able to use other programs or watch a video while Photoshop runs the action in the background.

I'm thinking this must be possible using scripting. Just a simple script like:

10 Run [this action]
20 Don't stop unless user presses [key]
30 Goto 10

Am I on the right track here?

Could someone post such a script, or explain an alternative method?
