Edit video and audio in Numbers on Mac
By default, a video or audio file plays one time when you click the Play button . You can set it to repeat in a loop, adjust its volume and trim it to play only part of the video or audio. For a video, you can change the poster frame that’s displayed on a sheet to represent the video.

Go to the Numbers app on your Mac.
Open a spreadsheet with video or audio, then click the video or audio to select it.
In the Format sidebar, click the Movie or Audio tab.
To set media to repeat, click the Repeat pop-up menu, then choose how you want it to play:
Play in a continuous loop: Choose Loop.
Play forwards and then backwards: Choose Loop Back and Forth.
Note: Recorded audio can’t loop back and forth.
