Question How to make a 2d animation wait for next frame before transition?

i have a 2d sprite walking animation, and it transitions to an empty state when my character stops walking.

But if my character stops walking right after a frame changes in the walking animation, it will look weird cause it will suddenly change between 2 frames quickly.

Like if frame 0 is my idle sprite, and it would be like this, if the dots represent the amount of time between frames:
frame 1 ...... frame 2 ...... frame3 .. frame0



So can I make it so the empty state is activated at the same time that the next frame would play?

So it would force it to be like this:
frame 1 ...... frame 2 ...... frame 3 ...... frame 0
