How to loop a clip in VST?

I used blender to create a short looping animation and am now trying to edit together a video using it. Because the clip is so short, I would like it to loop several times. Is there a way to do this? All the posts I can find just say to cut and paste the clip next to itself several times. Is there any other way to do it? Maybe something with a field that lets you specify precisely how many times to loop the clip?

apparently there is no built in function for the VSE, your best bet is to use the NLA editor in your blender scene and loop your scene there.
