Hi,
pix_movie and pix_film have a right inlet to play frames manually. So a counter and a metro at 25fps could do the job by simply pausing the counter. You need no auto 1 message then. Not sure if turning the gemhead off with a toggle will pause playback as well, or just disable rendering, but give it a try (if you want a black screen instead of a still movie frame).

Is there a way to pause a video file being played back through GEM? (OS X)
I'm currently using a Playstation controller to trigger video playback, which I am stopping/starting by routing a signal to a toggle controlling the "auto $1" playback message. (This is all the same as in the GEM help files.) But doing this causes the video to go back to the beginning each time, rather than pause it.
Thanks, Jonathan
