continuing on the looping skies saga, here's a preview of something I started in Carrara 4 (old sky) and took it into the beta of PD Pro 3.1 to make it looping:
http://thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/tuts/loopanim/
There's an html file in it which plays the swf (Flash) file. That one will be looping.
The Quicktime version is best downloaded locally and then played in local player so you can Control-L or Apple-L or whatever on Mac (Cmd-L ? ) to enable looping.
The Avi version is in Mpeg4 Xvid codec.
There is a new 'make looping' feature coming to Dogwaffle 3.1. It blends a bunch of user-selectable frames from the end with the start of the anim. In a case like this moving sky it works well because the clouds are already doing their hide-and-seek thing and dissolving on and off so it's not easy to see where the looping repeat thing happens. In fact in this case all frames are blended to some extent, as I select half the frames of the anim to be blended.(with the other half).
