# Description

Use the dontRefresh property to leave the final frame of a movie visible.

If a video clip's dontRefresh property is true, the last frame of the movie remains on the screen after the movie is finished playing, until that portion of the screen is redraw.

If the dontRefresh is false, the last frame disappears at the end of the movie.

This means that if the screenColors is 256 > or fewer, the colors in the last frame may shift when the movie ends. > To prevent this problem, you can set the colorMap property to the > set of colors used by the movie.
