Might try just grabbing a still and holding that.

Composition>save frame as will let you save a still frame.

I see. But the normal way of doing this would be time remapping, right?

I’d probably use time remapping, myself.

I used time remapping to make my clip stop, but I wanted it to ease into a stop then ease out of it and it looked clunky. I used the blend frame option and it just looks bad.

After Effects does not create the necessary intermediate frames on its own. You need something like Twixtor to do that.

But software like that can only interpolate the information that it has been given, so your shot may or may not work. Try it — I think there’s a demo.
