Best Practices

Here are some tips for getting the most out of Loopic. It's a flexible tool, so you don't have to follow these tips exactly, but we suggest following as many of them for the best results and user experience.

Save Your Project​

It's a good habit to save your project regularly, even if you're not closing the app.

Split Compositions Across Multiple Projects​

While there's no limit to the number of compositions within a project, consider splitting heavy projects into multiple ones. Distributing resources across projects keeps files smaller and easier to manage.

For example, when creating a sports package template, divide the work into three projects:

  • One for score and results bugs
  • Another for lower thirds
  • And a third for full-frame graphics

Optimize Image Sizes​

Ensure images and sequences match the intended resolution of your project. For instance, if your composition is Full HD and you're using a 4K background, resize the image accordingly before importing. You can further optimize file size using tools like Pngyu, enhancing performance during editing and playback.

Remove Unused Resources​

Keep your project tidy by deleting any unused resources, even though there are no project size limitations.

Set Guide Layers​

When using layers solely as design references, mark them as guides. This prevents their exportation, keeping your template lightweight.

Test Your Template​

Utilize Loopic's built-in preview function to test your template's functionality. If issues arise, check the preview console. If problems persist, export the template as HTML, run it in a browser, and inspect for any issues.
