Here's a question by e-mail: how can I make an animation run for 2 seconds, then pause for 2 seconds and then run until the end?
The answer is keyframes.
The layer in the above screenshot has 4 keys: at 0, 2, 4 and 6 seconds. When you make sure the 2nd key is identical to the 3rd, the animation plays for 2 seconds (key 1 and 2), pauses for 2 seconds (key 2 and 3) and then runs until the end (key 3 and 4).
Michiel,
That's very interesting but won't you have to do that to every layer ?

Yes that's true. All layers that are being animated have to use this trick.
But realize that pausing everything can make the show a bit boring. Sometimes it's better to continue animating some things in the background.
