Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Creating multiple freeze frames

  • Creating multiple freeze frames

    Posted by Martin Jordan on December 8, 2009 at 12:24 am

    On a MAC, running AE CS 4 I’ve created a 15 second composition.

    The last segment (a .mov file w/a alpha channel) is a little short. I want to extend the last frame by a couple of seconds. Adobe shows how to make a freeze frame but it’s only one frame. To extend it by a couple of seconds I need to extend it by 60 frames.

    I can’t find info on how to do this.

    Advice?

    thx

    Use Time Remapping and add a hold keyframe (then trim the layer to size)

    Well, I tried what you said and it didn’t work.

    I’m doing something wrong.

    I made an image with comments to help better explain what I’m trying to do and maybe this will help you advise me better.

    Thanks so much.
