It seems like the default setting of exporting an animation is to capture a single cycle. Is there a way to change the number of cycles to be saved? Furthermore, what does 3 Cycles in the Graph window mean (circled in the image below).

Hi, That option you circled corresponds to the Time decay of a Complex Animation typically used in a modal analysis etc. Please see the help for details on all the buttons.

Coming to your question on repeated cycles, why not use the repeat option in the media player, VLC or even power-point? I don't think there is a way to do this from the save settings. You might have to use a screen recorder (like screencast-o-matic) or a video-editing software like Camtasia to create a repeat loop.
