Ending frame on end card

Hello,

I'm working on a video, and I'd like it to end showing my end card instead of a black frame. I've tried a couple of options - freeze frame was one - but nothing seems to stop my sequence on my end card. 

Is that possible, and if so, what method would you recommend? Thanks!

Right - sorry. Let me try again.

I'm editing my sequence in Premiere Pro. It's done, but when I play it back, there's a black frame after my end card. I can't get rid of it, and I'm afraid that when I render the video, that black frame will be the last thing people see when they view it. Does that make sense?


The black frame you're seeing is not what will be the "last frame" of the video. Export and give it a try so you see what it will look like.

But no, you can't control what various players will do with the last frame of  your video.

To "fake" the effect you want, add 10 seconds of your card at the end.

Generally where the play head ends is the last frame. So any black after that point is irrelevant. However you can capture a single still and extend that to any length you want for the end of the video.

This is a function of the player, not the video.  Some will pause on the last frame, some won't.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the response. I should have been more clear - I'm talking about playback in Premiere Pro. I haven't played the video in an actual player - like Windows Media Player - yet.

If I'm understanding you correctly, then there's nothing I can do to make sure the last thing viewers see is my end card - it all depends on the player they are using? Is that right?

I'm confused.  Who's going to be watching the video with Premiere Pro?  (I would expect that to be only you, the editor.)
