I posed this question on some of the internet sites, but the answers were either unhelpful or merely complained about the feature.

Anyway, I thought I'd try my hand at making and posting layout videos for the Forum. I recorded my first video, but it keeps looping, and I cannot stop it from doing so. There doesn't appear anything in either the apps or the settings to turn it off. For those of you who post videos, how do you get around this?

Thanks,

Jim

I've always just emailed the video to myself, opened my email on my laptop, and then post the video. Never had this issue.

And for the video that keeps looping, did it do this when you posted it, or just when you were looking at it on your phone's camera roll?

If you haven't tried yet, post the video from your phone and see if it still loops on your post. I'm thinking it won't, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you for your suggestions. The video loops when it's on the phone. I tried emailing it to myself as well as air dropping it from the phone to my PC. No luck, but it's a 30 second video, so maybe it's too big. I'll try a small clip next to see what happens.

I just did a Google search and apparently this is an Apple "feature" that started in iOS18.  Until Apple does something about it your stuck with it.  I suspect if you upload it to the forum it will be fine.  The looping from I understand is a looping function of the photo album in iOS18 and not the actually video.
