How do you slow down footage to a stop?
I have an animation of a spinning earth on a space background, all created in AE. I need to slow the animation to a stop, so that it serves as a still in the background for a DVD Menu. Then, once the viewer’s made his selection, the menu fades out and the spinning earth and space start up again as the Menu page transitions into the movie.
Maybe this is more information than you need. Hope it helps describe my dilemma.
Does anyone have any experience slowing down footage smoothly and than starting them up again smoothly? I’ve tried ‘Time Remap’, but I’m not sure how to do the math right to smoothly transition from real-time to a little bit slower, then a little bit slower than that, and so on.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Click on Aharon’s Head (main AE Page) then scroll down to his newest tut:
Freeze Frame with Time Remapping
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/Freeze_Frame/Tutorial/index.htm
If you don’t have AE7 or above with that “Freeze Frame” function, just go straight to Time Remapping by selecting your layer, then Layer>Enable Time Remapping.
Andrew also does what you want near the end of this tut:
29. 300-like Speed Ramps & More!

Note: If you don’t have AE7 or above you won’t get that nice Pixel Motion smoothness in the slowdown.

Can anybody actually view that tutorial? I seem to have a problem with most of Andrew’s tutes, specifically 08, 13, 20 (version 2), and 23 – 39 (inclusive), won’t load. Did something break during the recent (last month) server upgrades?
