The Card Wipe effect will do the trick for you. But you will have to learn to use it:

When I’m doing work for broadcast (which is not so much anymore – but it was my only constraint for 15 years or so), I generally cheat my graphics up to half way through Title Safe – of course, this all depends upon the composition, and sometimes I’ll keep my text constraints right up to the Title Safe lines, and sometimes I’ll cheat them out.
With things like bugs and lower thirds, I generally take the bugs almost up to the Action Safe line, and the lower third container will extent all the way to the raster edge. That said, my text lines in the lower third will all stay within Title Safe, but if, for example, I have a logo bug on the lower third, I feel free to cheat it into the Title Safe area.
Of course, with web stuff, all bets are off, although I respect the Title Safe boundary for web creation, since nothing looks worse than text or graphical elements which are too close to the raster frame. It’s also good to bear in mind how the final delivery is going to be dealt with – if you’re doing an HD production, and the broadcast station decides to do a center cut (their specs will usually specify “Center Cut Safe” for graphics), that beautiful layout you worked so hard to get right in HD is going to get chopped to 4:3.

You might want to try Time Stretching. You can lengthen the runtime without altering the pitch:

Don’t be sorry, Wallis – it’s a good suggestion, and if the tracked mask doesn’t work, it may be one of the only two alternatives, the first being the Clone Brush in AE, the second being frame by frame in Photoshop.

Short of the ethical implications, here’s a pretty comprehensive article on usage under the fair rights doctrine:

A good way to think about it is to take ownership of the piece – if you labored to create the music, would you let anyone and everyone use it to make themselves money, or would you want a piece of the action? Simple answer…

That’s good – it sort of reminds me of the Firesign Theatre short piece US Plus:

It’s also important to use a monospaced font, that is, a font which has a fixed width – not using one will often cause this problem:

I’m not a CC user (CS6), but you would be well served to output an uncompressed master file first (I happen to use Quicktime Animation 100 percent at whatever frame size I’m working in), and then do your delivery formats using Adobe Media Encoder. The quality is great, but it adds an additional step.
The benefit of this method is that you have a master file which you can then use to output any other formats that are needed later.
