How to create video loops on iPhone, iPad and iPod

Here is a little video tutorial I wanted to share with you: I work at an Enterprise Mobility software company, and there smartphones and tablets are our most important tools. Obviously. That's why we also use iPhones, iPods or iPads at exhibitions to show video loops via Airplay or HDMI on TV screens at our booth. I always thought that iPad, iPhone and iPod couldn't play videos in a loop. That's why I created 2 - 3 hour loops in Premiere which usually took several hours to render. Because of the resulting large file size, I rendered the video again in another software to reduce the size... All in all, a quite annoying process. But in the context of this year's VMworld in Las Vegas, I found a solution I wanted to share with you.

In addition, here are the steps again:

1. Go to your PC, open iTunes
2. File -> Add to Library -> Choose File -> Open
3. Go to scroll down menu -> Choose "Movies"
4. Choose "Home videos"
5. Click on your video -> Right click -> Get info -> Options
6. Choose new media kind -> "Music Video"
7. Go back to Music category; there you see your video
8. Right click on your video -> Choose "Add to device" -> Click on the device you have connected to your PC
9. Wait for the upload to be completed
10. Go to your device -> Open "Apple Music"
11. See under "Recently Added" -> There is your video -> Open it -> Scroll a bit down
12. Besides "Up Next" -> Tap on arrows which form a circle until you see the number one appear.
13. Now your video will be looped
14. You can also create a playlist and add different videos to it and loop this playlist!
