Attached Link: start and stop movie node

If the movie works well until after the last frame, it is probably simply that the *loop* box is not checked.

If it isn't a problem to do so, I would just render the frames from 1 to the start of the movie with the billboard's visible box unchecked, then check the visibility box and render the frames covering the movie, then uncheck the visibility box again and render the rest of the frames which come after the movie.

But if you want to render it all in one shot, this rat's nest of math nodes will delay the start of a movie until frame X, and also stop it after frame Y.  The number in the tiny orange box should be the frame just before you want the movie to start - in my example the movie will begin in frame 31.  The number in the tiny green box will be one less than the length of your movie;  my movie was 30 frames.  For your movie, it would be 124 in this box.

The hotlink is the mt5, but when it asks for the pixie dust movie, just browse to your movie.  Adjust the numbers for the start/stop controls as needed.
