Freeze Framing Clips

Using the FrameHold node, you can set the output of a clip to a particular frame or frame interval, rather than the entire clip.

To Output a Freeze Frame

1.   Click Time > FrameHold to insert a FrameHold node into your script.
2.   Attach its input to the clip you want to affect.
3.   Attach a Viewer to the FrameHold node, so you can see the effect of your changes.
4.   Enter the first frame number to freeze as the output of the FrameHold node.

NOTE:  The first frame control defaults to 0, setting the freeze frame as the first frame of the clip, regardless of the actual frame number.

To Output a Frame Interval

1.   Click Time > FrameHold to insert a FrameHold node into your script.
2.   Attach its input to the clip you want to affect.
3.   Attach a Viewer to the FrameHold node, so you can see the effect of your changes.
4.   Enter the increment frames to skip at output. For example, with a first frame of 1 and an increment value of 5, the frames passed down the node tree would be 1, 6, 11, 16, etc.
