Video too long jumps to black

[The_Mage]

I am fairly new to Premiere Pro, so am still learning.

I am creating a video where I imported a series of images and turned them into a short movie. I was able to slow it down, smooth it out, and pause it at the end. But it is 1:25 in length, and it seems to want to export it at 1:26. That means it just cuts to black, but I want it to end with the scene frozen at the end. And I can't seem to figure this out.

Every time I try to search it brings up how to edit clips within the project, not the end product.

You cannot. A player will always play the entire movie including the last frame (freeze or no freeze frame) and will stop beyond the last frame which is black or rather nothing, a void.

Even Premiere does that. Play the timeline and it will stop after the last frame.

Just to be clear post a screenshot of the export settings with the left tab to output.

Okay, thanks. I misunderstood what was happening. I posted this before I exported the video, which I was still trying to get right.

What threw me off was that it was exporting a video that I thought was a second longer than what I created. But it doesn't play any black part, just shuts down, and looping results in it playing repeatedly.

For a project I am trying to learn this process it would require either freezing on the last scene or looping.

Neither is possible.

A loop is set in the player used.

I know that. I was just putting the context in how I wanted it used.

All of this should work with Ren'Py. If the beginning and end scenes match, the loop should be seamless. I haven't checked with the video, but without looping I believe it would stop on the last scene if there's a pause. I plan on using both

You can do either with VLC Player:

The project involves Ren'Py, not VLC player. But I have it.
