Your question isn't clear, but if I understand correctly you want to freeze the last frame of your video, if so: select the clip in timeline press ctrl + Alt + t (enable time remapping) and extend the out of the layer as much as you want

If I understand you correctly simply select the layer and go to Layer > Time > Time-Reverse Layer.

You can set the Poster frame for compositions but not for videos. If you want to change the Thumbnail, place the playhead over the desired frame and go to Composition > Set Poster Frame.
