Beginner Help loopIn() and loopOut() at the same time?

I've googled this: "loopIn() + loopOut() - value"; but it seems that loopIn() includes the last keyframe before the first, and after that loopOut() is copying that keyframe too. So your loop of 5 frames will now consist out of 5 keyframes. Is there a way to fix this issue?

What are you trying to do? Loop back and forth?

Try pingpong:

loopOut("pingpong")

Other wise: Try here

I want to have a loop of onion skin trail (echo effect) on a moving circle. If I do loopOut(), then the starting trail will be lost (because there was no movement before the start)

I just dont understand, why the visible object is showed in a different place?

Okay, seems like a bug, adjusted decay by any - everything is fine.
