Does it work with 4K video?
Yes. LoopForge opens, previews and exports 4K at the video’s own size, and the Resolution setting offers 1440p, 1080p, 720p and 480p for smaller files. It never upscales. Big exports use a lot of memory: a long 4K loop repeated many times at full size can need more than the PC has free. LoopForge checks before it starts, and if it won’t fit it offers a lower resolution in one click. If a file can’t be played by the built-in viewer on your PC, it builds a lighter copy to preview, and still exports from the original.
Do I need to install anything else?
No. LoopForge Studio is self-contained. Everything it needs is installed with it, so it works straight away with nothing else to download or set up.
Can I make precise edits on a long video?
Yes. Zoom the timeline with Ctrl+wheel (or the + and − buttons) until only a few frames fill the screen, and pan with the wheel or the overview bar. Loop markers, the playhead and speed ramp points snap to whole frames by default, and the thumbnails and audio waveform are redrawn in finer detail for the part you’re looking at. Hold Alt while dragging for a free move, or untick Snap to turn snapping off completely. Ramp points lock to time or to speed as you drag, so tuning one never shifts the other (hold Shift to move both), and the arrow keys nudge a selected point a frame or a speed step at a time.
Can I turn the preview down? Does that change my export?
Yes. The speaker and slider next to the playback buttons set how loud the preview plays, and M mutes it. That only changes what you hear while you edit, in every preview mode, and LoopForge remembers your level. It never changes the sound of the exported file. To export without sound, use Mute on the Speed tab.
Does the exported video keep its sound?
Yes. The sound follows the picture: it speeds up and slows down with ramps, plays backwards on ping-pong, crossfades with the video and goes quiet during freeze holds. Only GIF and WebP export silently, because those formats can’t hold audio.
How does the auto loop finder work?
It compares frames across the clip and looks for spots where the picture comes back to where it started. Each suggestion gets a match score, rated Seamless, Good or Visible jump. Click one and A and B are set for you.
Is the preview really the same as the export?
Turn on Exact and it is: LoopForge plays a fast, preview-quality render of the export itself, with holds, crossfades, repeats and ramps, and updates it a moment after each change. The regular live preview stays instant for scrubbing and setting markers.
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your own PC, and LoopForge doesn’t need an internet connection.
How does the free trial and licensing work?
Install LoopForge Studio and use every feature free for 14 days. Videos you export during the trial carry a small “Made with LoopForge Studio” mark in the corner, and your license removes it. When you buy, your license key is shown on the page straight after payment and emailed to you. Open the Activate window from the title bar, paste the key and you’re done. After the trial ends without a license you can still open and edit videos, but exporting needs a license.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you ask within 7 days of buying, you get the full price back. See the refund policy. Try the free 14-day trial first: it has every feature.
Does activating need an internet connection?
No. Your key is checked on your own PC, so activating works offline, and LoopForge keeps working without internet. When the PC happens to be online, the app quietly downloads a short list of withdrawn licenses (for example after refunds); nothing about you is sent. You only need internet to buy and to download.
Can I move my license to a new PC?
Yes. A license is for one user. On the old PC open the Activate window and choose Remove from this PC, then enter the same key on the new one. If you lose your key, contact support and we’ll resend it.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. What do I do?
That notice appears for installers from a publisher Windows doesn’t know yet. The LoopForge Studio installer isn’t code-signed yet, so you may see it the first time. Choose More info, check that the file is LoopForge-Studio-Setup, then choose Run anyway.
Is there a Mac version?
LoopForge Studio is available for Windows 10 and 11.
