It isn’t moving a lot just before the point that I want to set the freeze. I have a single frame that I need to hold on until the end, so I have material to create a fade out. I can duplicate the frame and line up the duplicates and it looks fine, but I need a way to create an end fade with a single frame of video. I tried speed change, but that only works if you have more than one frame. And I tried a still image export, but that resizes, too. Could the resizing be because I’m compositing the animation on a white solid that was created in FCP, too? It’s the first time I’ve seen this when creating a still frame and really the compositing is the only difference I can think of. I’m really stumped on this one.

Probably intermediate is the wrong word. What the client wants is a high-quality, re-purposable file that he can add various intros and outros to later. He has someone else creating the intro animations and then passing those files to me to add later. He’s doing a full site re-brand and I’m creating files for the new site based on the current site and there are hundreds of files to re-create. I’m used to doing things to completion, so doing things in multiple versions like this is new for me.

The wide shot camera was on a tripod, but the close-up required moving between the instructor and the students. This is the worst it ever got, I’ve been able to correct most of the others.
