Freeze video on last frame

Hi,

I have a situation where a participant is presented with a video (morphing image) to which they must respond. The video only lasts for 1 second, but I want to give them an extra second (2 second timeout to respond).

However the video disappears when it is finished playing, and I would prefer if it instead stayed on the last frame until the end of the trial.

From what I can see there is no native way to do this - at least I couldn't see anything for finer video control. Am I mistaken and there is an easy way to do this, or would I have to do something like capture the final image of the video as a separate picture, which would then be displayed at the end of the video (or underneath it)?

You would indeed have to save the final frame as a regular, static image file and then display that _after_ the video.
