Thanks for the info. You inspired me to retrace the steps again. One batch of the 14 image sequences that made up the entire clip was silhouette alpha mode. This segment of the clip appeared five times. Again, thanks.
It is a bit different but I was able to figure it out. I simply copied the keyframe I wanted to extend/freeze and pasted where I wanted to be. That held the image.
Thanks! The problem is so apparent that it LOOKS like the kearning is changing. I thought it could be a mathmatical issue with the color phase. It is way too apparent to accept however.
