title: "Loop Ring"
description: "Image cards evenly spaced on an ellipse, each rotated to follow the track, orbiting. 8 image slots, 16s seamless loop, 1:1."

import { InstallCommand } from "/snippets/install-command.jsx";
## Install
That writes one file: `compositions/loop-ring.html`.
## Add it to your video
It runs for 16 seconds at 1080×1080. Paste this into your composition:
```html index.html
```
Move it in time with `data-start`. Put it on a different timeline row with
`data-track-index`. See [data attributes](/concepts/data-attributes) for the rest.
## Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:
| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mediaFit` | `natural` | `natural`, `crop` | Natural keeps each image's own ratio; Crop fills the card box at the media aspect below. |
| `cropAspectRatio` | `1:1` | `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1`, `4:5`, `3:2`, `3:4`, `2:3` | Card aspect used when Fit is Crop. |
| `backgroundType` | `gradient` | `gradient`, `color`, `image` | Gradient (start → end colours), flat Colour, or your own Image. |
| `backgroundGradientStart` | `#111111` | color | Top colour of the gradient. |
| `backgroundGradientEnd` | `#444444` | color | Bottom colour of the gradient. |
| `backgroundColor` | `#0b0b0f` | color | Flat colour when Type is Color; also the ground under an Image. |
| `backgroundImage` | `` | image | Cover-fitted background when Type is Image. |
| `blurAmount` | `0` | 0px to 60px, step 1px | Blur on the background image, px. |
| `backgroundGradientNoise` | `0` | 0% to 100%, step 1% | Film-grain overlay strength. |
| `backgroundOpacity` | `1` | 0 to 1, step 0.05 | Opacity of the whole background layer (0 = transparent ground). |
| `scaleIntensity` | `0.2` | 0 to 1, step 0.05 | Strength of the size change. |
| `borderRadius` | `24` | 0px to 200px, step 1px | Card corner radius in px at 1080. |
| `direction` | `anticlockwise` | `anticlockwise`, `clockwise` | Direction of travel. |
| `radiusX` | `32` | 0 to 64, step 1 | Radius X (engine parameter; see the block header comment). |
| `radiusY` | `32` | 0 to 64, step 1 | Radius Y (engine parameter; see the block header comment). |
| `repeat` | `1` | 0 to 10, step 0.1 | Repeat (engine parameter; see the block header comment). |
| `tangent` | `true` | `true`, `false` | Tangent (engine parameter; see the block header comment). |
| `stack` | `lastOnTop` | `lastOnTop`, `firstOnTop` | Stack (engine parameter; see the block header comment). |
