Holding last frame of composition

#1

Hello,

I have read that you can use Time Remapping to hold the last frame of a png sequence so that you can create a pause between transitions, without importing the last frame or anything.

I have tried the technique described here but I think my workflow is in the way.

My entire animation (+/- 600 frames) has been rendered in 3D and imported as one sequence in AFX. I composited my highlights and shadows in a composition and called it Master. Then I made smaller compositions and placed the Master comp in them and cut them up to size. I placed the seperate sequences in a comp called Stage. So now I can just import one single sequence when I render again.

So… Now I am trying to let the last from of the smaller sequences to hold for a few frames, before transitioning into the next. The Time Remapping just doesnt seem to work, because it is not holding anything when I move the last frame, it just show the next sequence of the master animation.

So… Is there a way around this or do I need to import every sequence as a unique set?

When you enable time remapping on your layer if you hit the “U” key, you should see the keyframes. Go to the last keyframe and right+click, select Hold keyframe (or it might be called toggle hold, I don’t recall without it open). This will hold the final keyframe and then you can lengthen it as long as you want. Hope that helps!
