When the end is reached during playback, either all assets stop and display their last
frame as a still image (At End set to Still), or the playback jumps to the Loop, if available,

setting, they are looped back to their start to keep playing.
Duration Setting
You can use the Duration setting to set the menu’s duration. It is equal to the End setting
