One way of doing this....create a blank scene #1. Increase the number of frames to 320 to give you 16 seconds. Create a text item in this scene and put a "Hide action in frame 320. This will force the movie to play through all 320 frames with no action. Thus giving you your 16 seconds. You can then start your real movie on frame 1 of scene 2.
