@Bsalo - I don't think Openshot has such a feature (yet).

I wonder if it could be added? Playback looping helps align video and audio better than wiping, and it has other uses, too. I see OpenShot has Menu > Help > Ask a question. Perhaps this suggestion goes there? ADDED: yes, that's where suggestions go, but there are hundreds or thousands of suggestions and bug reports there already. OpenShot is so much nicer than VSDC; I hope it is being maintained.

It should be nice if OpenShot had a tool to make a certain video loop n times. Like a Text Field to tell the program to loop that specific video for like 30 times. Like those 10 hour videos on youtube

Yes, although you can probably achieve this by copying the video to the clipboard and then pasting it 30 times. I would think it rare that you need a programmable repeat many more times than that.
And even nicer would be the ability to loop over the playback with a given speed. Looping is perfect for locating just the right point for a splice (edit).

The problem with copying and pasting is that when you paste something it is not aligned exactly at the end of the previous thing you pasted. So, you have to manually realign all things you paste and imagine those 10 hour compilations. It would be insane realigning a video of 30 seconds until you have 10 hours. And even if you create a video of 1 hour first for example and then paste it 10 times. It would really be time wasting. Anyways, I hope a feature like that makes into the stable client

I agree this features is needed. I have a logo animation video in the corner of my video and I want to keep it repeating during the video. If that animation is 3 seconds and my video was 10 minutes then I have to copy and paste more than 200 times :(
