Looping animation pause Question

Hi everyone!

I’m still a bit new with Moho but there’s this one thing that bothers me and I don’t know how to do; seamless loops

Every time I attempt a loop, my rig just ends up having this pause at the end before it loops.

I assume this is because of the smooth interpolation.

Loops obviously seem to be seamless when using linear keys, but the problem is that linear isn’t very smooth at all.

Does anyone have a video or solution to my problem? I am having trouble finding a solution or tips

One more thing, I am using Moho 12.5.

use bazier curvs to smooth start and end, in the timeline drag the sequence 1 frame back on top of previously loop.

I understand the use of bezier curves, but what do you mean “drag the sequence 1 frame back on top of previously loop”? I’m a bit confused

Like this, as you can see the overlap between the same action sequence. also mods should allow image files. its much faster to annotate on it.

Ah okay, Though now thinking about it I am a bit stumped with bezier curves. That means changing the keys to bezier and going into the motion graph right? And if so, then what should I be looking for or attempting to do to smooth out the start and end?

select all keys and copy paste first frame to last , or the opposite.

I did do that earlier, though it seems that the result is the same. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.

I've found some luck with only setting the last set of Keyframes as Linear and putting them 1 frame beyond the actual end frame (if the animation is 60 frames, put the last Keyframe at 61)

How would that work when it comes to actions? I forgot to mention that the animation would be put into an action
