    Im trying to make the last part of the movie freeze but also as its freezed I want to text in it.

    I tried to snapshot the last part of the movie, and then attaching it as an image to the timeline. The thing is I cant make my Text media work on the image only on the avi. files.

    Use the velocity envelope to freeze the last
    part of your movie.
    After you apply that envelope you simply create two
    points at the part you want the freeze to happen, then
    on the second point you set to 0…Now when the playback
    reaches that frame it freezes for the rest of the clip duration.
    You can even prolong the freeze by just dragging the edge of
    the clip out a bit further.

    Steves is probably the best way to do it but I have used your way many times. Take a snapshot of the last frame and place it at the end. There is no reason that you should not be able to superimpose text on that “still” the same way that you do on video. Add it to the track ABOVE.

    The thing is….When you use the snapshot method Terry,
    you loose Resolution.

    You can also snip the last frame off the end, right click it and select Create Subclip. Then you can just drag the edge to “loop” that single frame over and over.

    Also, if you click the Snapshot button in the Preview window when the quality is set to Best, you get a pixel perfect frame without losing resolution, as far as I can tell. Either or… whatever works!

    Hi,

    Does this solution work in VMSP 9.0?

    Thanks,

    Marcus
