How do you make text and title animation templates last longer

I am doing a live show introduction and like the grand adventure shadow title template. I like the speed of the animation, but I want to extend the frozen title after the animation for another 20 seconds without changing the speed of that animation. How can I do this and does this technique apply to other animated titles?

@richard-dyszel6471 Hi, 'grand adventure shadow title template' is Video Deluxe (Magix Movie Studio). If your screen looks like the pic below you need the Magix Movie/Video Deluxe forum.

Drag the right side of the effect out.

To get this to work you have to disable looping (which is default on and repeats the animation) to freeze it right click the text event and:

Or change the length of the generated media to match the length of the event!

@richard-dyszel6471 Ah! Grand adventure shadow is a font in Vegas not a template. I didn't know that existed, I've got a shedload of fonts. 🤷‍♂️

That option changes the speed of the animation.

@3POINT Ah, correct. I know it wasn't my post that you quoted but I've deleted part of my previous comment anyway, I should've read the OP properly 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣

@richard-dyszel6471 There's also 'Freeze Frame at Cursor' if that's any use to you.

Hi. What I do is first is match the media length to the timeline length using the little button in the titles and text dialog. That will animate the text across the entire event. If you make the event longer or shorter, that will affect the speed of the animation, and you'll have to match the length again. I get the animation how I want it to appear, animate, etc. When everything is set, I take a PNG snapshot of the last frame of that event only, and add it to the end of the titles & text event, this way I can stretch out the complete text for as long as I want it to be.
