I think it's like this:
you need to add an additional keyframe at some frame after the sequence you want to loop - or before the first in case of ‘pre infinity’
Select the time segment just generated and set the function to ‘repeat’ or ‘cycle’ or to any other expression you want.

Hope this helps,

Georg

this is not a science fair.

For post-infinity, you can also just modify the last key although I think it's cleaner to another key at the last frame of your shot. It's a bit tricky to modify the expression of the last key right now so here's a wide graphic to show how to do it.
