Hi, Daniel,
You hit it. The animation was created in animation codec and my timeline is h.264. So, after I re-rendered the timeline as animation, the freeze worked. My final is going to be h.264 wrapped as mp4 because I’ve had the best luck with that combo for spots that are viewed online and it’s recommended for YT. This whole series is for a website, so it will all be viewed online. All that’s left is to see how it holds together after it’s exported. Thank you, you just saved me a ton of headache on this. Wish there was a virtual “buy a coffee” function on here, I would definitely use it for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
