Extend the bug or Freeze frame

I have to place a bug on a 3 min spot.
The bug is animated the first 30 frames and then isn't all the way to the end.
If I request a 3:00 bug the file's going to be huge and will have to render.
In my offline cut i've been using a freeze frame of the bug that I started right after the bug stops animating and extend all the way to the end.
Can I keep this freeze frame for online or is the quality affected?

Thx

You should probably fashion a double-resolution bug just to align in the online.

A freeze frame is generated from your existing resolution, which may look bad in online format.

this is what I meant to quote.
What is a double resolution?

A freeze of the last frame of the bug will be fine. It will get recreated if you upres so you don't need to worry about the quality.
