This totally normal transition in and out are just what they say, these animations happen when a transition is happening a loop is not available

pretty easy with a script : set a do while true in the script containing an animation In , a sleep(10000) , animate Out, Sleep(5000), loop
Check the "scripting for dummies" post in this forum

OR

Use a few trigger in the title input : OnOverlayIn do an overlayOut after x seconds, On OverlayOut do an overlay IN after x seconds

Other ideas: depends on the animation you are looking for

BTW the title of the post implied you were talking about a (TEXT) TICKER ;-)

I have not checked this for correctness. But I see some things wrong. First, your two variables at the top are both the same. Copy/paste error I'm sure. Secondly, you need to alternate between overlay in and overlay out. Also, the overlay out shortcut doesn't take any parameters.

Code:
dim main = "firstTitle.gtzip"
dim second = "secondTitle.gtzip"

do while true
  API.Function("OverlayInput1Out")
  API.Function("OverlayInput1In",Input:=main)
  Sleep(5000)
  API.Function("OverlayInput1Out")
  API.Function("OverlayInput1In",Input:=second )
  Sleep(4000)
loop


You might have to put a delay after the overlay out and before the overlay in, to give it time to execute.

It's possible you don't even need the overlay out. When you call overlay in with a new input, I think that vMix will switch to that new input. I don't know if it will do the in/out transition effects, though. That's what you would need to test.

Doing an OverlayIn to replace an input allready in overlay will cut out the first (not animate out)

OP was asking the Overlay multiple inputs at once like on 1,2 and 3 (hence the "Change the number in OverlayInput In/Out" )
