  If these are 2 different layers, you can easily time remap the image sequence and use a hold frame to freeze it. Then at the freeze make sure whatever keyframes for your null also freeze/stop animating.

  Image sequence and Video precomposed.
  I would freeze sequence outside (up level) the comp.
  So, for now i just move the video from this comp and parrent to Pre-comp with this sequence, it work fine but not well organized
