Keeping final video frame on screen

[Jonty1968]

Hi,
I am a complete newbie at this video-editing business so apologies for what is, I am sure, a daft question.

However, I need an answer - I want to play an imported video clip with music imported onto the separate music track as a background. At the end of the video clip, I want the last image of the video to stay on screen while the music continues. At the moment, my screen just goes black once the video clip finishes.

Hope this makes sense!
Thanks
Jonty

Hi - yes makes perfect sense and very easy to do.

when editing get the last frame into the preview window then go the small "Edit" (top left) - click on it and from the drop down select "Take a snapshot" - this will make a picture of the last frame and put a thumbnail in the library pane.

Now just drag the thumbnail down into the timeline at the end of your video and set the duration of it to whatever you want - select the image in the timeline - hover your mouse over the right hand yellow bar - when it changes to an arrow left click and hold while you slide your mouse right to get the duration you want

Hi
Just to add, you can take a snapshot in Clip or Project playback, the option you choose may create different image sizes dependent on your video files size.
If you have problems give us the properties of your video file, for HD it may be 1920 x 1080? For standard definition 720 x 576?
