No there is not a pause or stop. If you are trying to use this in say a church setting, the best bet is to create two scenes, the first being a "blank" or "home" scene....which runs automatically to get your lighting rig set for show....then you hit your fist cue and away you go.... if this is in a DJ setting, all you can do is set it to single loop, where it will play the scene then pause at the end.....hope this helps you out
