Can you edit particle (animations?) in Title Designer?

Case in point: The "Terrific Typography" title from Travel Pack 3...

Very nice animation, the swaying palms, the rotating circular graphics.... alas:

Apparently it's not possible to make it just stay after it's on the screen and continue moving while all the text credits appear and linger there for everybody to read! After 9 seconds they just vanish and start to appear again... and again....

Now: There is an "Edit in Particle Designer" option (right-click on the greenish particle 'bar' below the window) with an interesting-sounding drop down menu called "Life" with options for "After Particle Life Ends": "Loop Playback / Freeze on First/Last Frame / Stop Playback". 50000 seems to be the highest possible Life value .. aka 9 seconds. Really?! So the best I can apparently do is to opt for "Freeze on Last Frame" so after 9 sec. it freezes but at least stays on the screen...?

All I want is for the animations to just continue doing what they're doing until I decide the credits have stayed there long enough and I can begin my movie.

With animations dis- and reappearing every 9 seconds this "Title" is plain unusable.

Any help here...?
