Creating Freeze Frames of Embedded Motion and LiveType Projects
When you create a freeze frame of an embedded Motion or LiveType project, the freeze
frame clip refers to the Motion or LiveType project on disk. If you alter the source
project, the freeze frame’s image will look different.
Reconnecting Freeze Frame Clips
Freeze frame clips refer to media files the same way other clips do. If the media file is
modified, moved, or deleted, the still-image clip becomes offline, and you need to
reconnect it. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 6, “Reconnecting Clips and
Offline Media.”
About Sequence Freeze Frames
Unlike a freeze frame of a clip, a sequence freeze frame will not update if you
subsequently change the sequence the freeze frame was created from. However, the
clip media referenced by the sequence freeze frame can still be updated and the freeze
frame clip can be reconnected. For more information, see “
Exporting Still Images
You can easily export a still image of the current frame displayed in the Viewer or
Canvas. You do not need to create a freeze frame clip to export a still image.
To export a frame displayed in the Viewer or Canvas as a still-image file:
1
Position the playhead on the frame you want to export, then choose File > Export >
Using QuickTime Conversion.
2
In the Save dialog that appears, enter a name and choose a location for the image file.
3
Choose Still Image from the Format pop-up menu, then click Save.
For more details, see Volume IV, Chapter 21, “Exporting Still Images and Image Sequences.”
