How do I freeze my video, and not fade to black?

[bonnier802]

Hi,

I am very new to PP but have managed to put together a very short video to try to get a cat adopted who has had a miserable life.  I think I've got what I want, but I would like it just to freeze at the end so the text on a still photo can still be read.  I'm sure it's VERY simple, but it just escapes me.

Thanks,

Bonnie

One way:

-Make a cut at the frame you want to "freeze."

-Copy and paste that frame on the timeline a many times as needed to create the "freeze."

Another way:

Right click on the clip in the timeline and choose the option "Insert Frame Hold Segment", see the screenshot that I leave you.

I also leave you one of my tutorials on my YouTube Channel about this.

Thanks, I'll try it out!

Me again.  I tried it but once the video ends, it turns to black.  I want to put this up on FB and once the video is over, I'd like it just to stay with the image.  I have a photo collage of the cat I'm trying to find a home for, and in the middle is a short video and in the collage is the information about her.  Once the video ends I want to be sure that people have time to read it and so, don't want it to go to a black screen.

That is a function of the player.  Premiere Pro can only create a video.  It can't tell the player to stop on the last frame.

So, if I post this on FB, instead of just freezing on the last frame of photos, it will fade to black?  There is a photo collage, static, and an overlay of the video in the middle.  I was hoping once the video finished playing, the static collage would remain.  That seems not to be possible???

Hi - it is possible as I have created a video in PP that displays the last frame image once played. how I managed to do it is another question. I am trying to replicate what I did now and not managing yet. Will keep you posted

@bonnier802 I did it! So the way it works for me is to create a 'loop' using the simple method of using the 'playback function' (See screen shot attached) adding it by clicking on the plus sign above your timeline on the far right (screen shot attached) then typing I (for in) at the start of the timeline and O (for out) at the end. Then export the vidoe and it will stop on the 'out' point which will be the final frame. Watch this video to make sense of this:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrtLh-ukf9I
