  • Frame Holding the last frame and extending

    Posted by Clinton Rocksmith on December 18, 2008 at 11:04 pm

    Hi there,

    I have 400+ clips in a single row of a timeline, each clip is 20 frames long (they’re graphics)

    I want to make each clip frame hold on the last frame and then extend until it hits the beginning of the next clip.

    Does Motion allow for this to be done automagicially? Or is it a long involved process?

    Cheers

    It can’t be done automatically; there are too many specifics involved. It’s not difficult to do what you ask, but it’ll take a few seconds with each clip.

    Probably the easiest thing to would be to apply a Hold Frame behavior to each clip. That can be done all at once by SHIFT clicking to select all 400+ clips and then applying Behaviors/Retiming/Hold Frame.

    Now you adjust the IN on each clip so that it’s on the last frame of the video, and then extend the end of the clip so that it connects with the next clip down the line.
