Nodaro DocsLoop Subject
Pick one of 31 loop subjects, such as a neon tunnel, a starfield or falling snow, and build a seamless looping video for streams, screens and ambient visuals.
The Loop Subject picker names the subject of a looping video. You choose one subject from its catalog, such as a neon tunnel, a starfield, falling snow or a kaleidoscope. Each subject is written to fill the frame and to loop well, for background loops, screen savers and ambient visuals. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.
When to use it
- Background loops for live streams, podcasts or installations.
- Screen savers and digital signage.
- Music-video footage that loops without a visible cut.
How to use it
Add the picker
Open the node picker and choose Creative Controls › Scene › Loop Subject.
Choose a subject
Select the node and choose a subject in the settings panel. The tiles are grouped as Realistic and Abstract / VJ, and each tile shows a small icon.
Connect it
Drag from the picker's output to the Look input of a Generate Image or Generate Video node. For a seamless loop, start with Generate Image, as described in Make a seamless loop.
Run the image or video node
The subject's wording is added to the end of the prompt when the connected node runs.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Loop Subject | The subject to add. The default is Tunnel — Exciting. |
| Custom text (before) | Your own words, added before the subject's wording. |
| Custom text (after) | Your own words, added after the subject's wording. |
| Prompt hint | Full adds a description of the subject and its composition. Compact adds only the short term. See Creative Controls. |
To see the exact words the picker will add, switch the node to the Prompt or Both display mode. The settings panel shows the same text under Will inject into prompt.
Make a seamless loop
A loop looks seamless when its last frame matches its first frame. Build one in five steps:
Generate the loop frame
Connect the Loop Subject picker to the Look input of a Generate Image node, and run it. The image becomes the first and the last frame of the loop.
Use the image as both frames
Connect the image to both the Start Frame and the End Frame inputs of a Generate Video node. Choose a VEO 3.1 model, such as VEO 3.1 Fast.
Add the loop sentence
Add this sentence to the prompt of the Generate Video node:
Seamless loop: motion begins and ends in the exact same composition and lighting so the first and last frames match perfectly.
Turn on Loop trim
In the settings of Generate Video, turn on Loop trim. It cuts the end of the clip at the frame that looks most like the first frame. This removes the dissolve that VEO models can add at the end of a clip. Loop trim adds a small charge to the video. If the trim fails, that charge is refunded and you keep the untrimmed clip.
Make it longer
Send the clip to a Loop Video node to repeat it a number of times or up to a target length. Turn on Smart cut before looping so that every repeat joins cleanly.
What it adds to the prompt
Each subject describes the whole frame, with no foreground subject in front of it. For Tunnel — Exciting it adds this text in Full mode:
infinite fractal tunnel of glowing neon ribbons receding into a vanishing point, centered symmetric composition, deep volumetric light, no foreground subjectIn Compact mode, it adds only infinite fractal neon tunnel.
Every loop subject
The catalog has 2 groups: Realistic and Abstract / VJ. Search it or filter it by group. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Tips
- Choose the tunnel that fits. Tunnel — Exciting is a tunnel of glowing neon ribbons. Tunnel — Clean is a tunnel of geometric filaments that repeats into the distance on a dark background.
- Add an event or a viewpoint. Use Custom text (before), for example
with lightning flashes, or Custom text (after), for exampleseen from below. - Reuse the frame for several lengths. One loop frame can feed several Generate Video nodes, for example a 4-second and an 8-second clip.
