How to script to 'hold last frame' in image seqence?

[ThePredator42]

in the image number field, where the image sequence expression is located, change that expression

imagePlane2.frameExtension=frame;

to

if (frame <= 5000)
imagePlane2.frameExtension=frame;
else
imagePlane2.frameExtension=5000;
In this case assuming you have 5000 frames, change as needed

you could also delete the expression and keyframe the parameter "frame extension" instead, just 1 at frame 1 and n at frame n using a linear animation curve (thats the old fashioned way :) then after the last frame just continue the curve holding the value. That probably evaluates faster than an expression with an if..else-statement but i'm not really sure about that fact.
A certain advantage is that you can also animate your texture-sequence in a non-linear way using all techniques of keyframe animation like sudden jumps or hold a certain frame in the middle of the sequence etc.
