Using Freeze Frames

The freeze frame feature enables you to create shots of any length using a single frame. To achieve this, the application takes the first frame of the shot and applies a 0% retime, which is reversible by applying a 100% retime.

To freeze frame shots:

1.

Select the target item(s) on the timeline.

2.

Right-click the item and select Editorial > Make Freeze Frame,

OR

Navigate to Timeline > Make Freeze Frame.

Note:  Freeze Frames can also be created using the spreadsheet retime modes to modify Src Dur to 0, or make Src In and Src Out equal.

3.

The selection is retimed to 0% and colored blue on the timeline for easy identification.

4.

Use the Multi Tool or Slip Clip to set the freeze frame from the available range.

5.

Drag the item’s edit points, using the Multi Tool or Move/Trim as required, to set the length of the shot. There’s no upper limit for the length of a freeze frame shot.
