How to stop an animation from looping

I have made an animation in Anime Studio Debut 10 where a figure walks across the screen from left to right. I want the figure to stop when he reaches the right side of the screen but it loops back to the left and keeps looping. How can I make it stop and wait after the first walk across? Thank you for any help. Mike

I think all you have to do is add another keyframe to stop the cycle. Learning anime pro here and just cam eacross page 184 and was wondering the same thing.

- In production, AS will loop your scene indefinitely.
- The rendered video will not loop.

Well I'm new to asp but any loop function will stop in the timeline when it encounters a keyframe. So i guess if the legs move in a loop you add in a (blank) keyframe at the time you desire and the loop stops. The leg chain is probably connected to a root bone that moves the whole body. You might want to stop that from looping too.
