Loop Play of Small Video

Hi,
I use Video Studio 9. Is it possible to have a small clip (.AVI) to play in a loop for a long period? What I am trying to do is to have a person talking in the Overlay clip video with a background video of a building. The problem is that the building video is only 4-5 seconds long. Now, I can copy and paste many times but that is not an elegant solution.
I also own Media Studio Pro 7 but would rather stick with VS 9.

Thanks.
Meengla

If it's purely a building picture, comparable to a still picture, you could use the playing speed to extend its length (within reason).

Now if there is a flag waving or cars or people or clouds moving then cut and paste with a short crossfade is inelegant but effective....

Mind you, in the final result, 100 short clips or one long clip take exactly the same time to render and the output is the same...
