Frame hold segment key frames don't work after 2 seconds

When I try to keyframe a section of my frame hold segment that is after the default 2 seconds the key frames do not work. Any suggestions to help fix this would be greatly appreciated.

2.5 years later.  What I did is extended my Frame Hold clip to however long I needed it, then turned it into a Nest.  Then I keyframed the Nested Sequence and that worked.


I have been nesting for many years, but it was getting annoying, so I went out to find solutions on the forums and found this - HOWEVER - nesting doesn't really work when, for example, you need to return your scale BACK to 100, because you are nesting a clip that is ALREADY scalled up - it will nest it AS IS, so by scaling back that nest clip, your clip will have black on the sides! --- at the end of it all, I had to export a still JPEG and work around it!

This seems like a crazy bug, because Premiere should not limit my frame holds.

 

MORE CONTEXT:

For this particular instance I've "Add Frame Hold" on the very last frame of the clip. Even though in Effect Controls I can add keyframes, but they don't work. When the playhead moves, the keyframe digits are moving but nothing is moving on screen.

Please fix this, Adobe.

You will have to keep the keyframes within the Frame Hold Segment section.

Uncheck Pin to Clip for better view.

Any idea how to extend the Frame Hold Segment section? The clip on the timelone is longer than 2 seconds but in the effects panel it's only keyframable for 2 seconds.

Easier way is to use a frame grab.
