Create freeze frames
You can easily create freeze-frame clips from any video clip. Freeze-frame clips hold a particular
frame in place, temporarily stopping the action onscreen.
You can create freeze-frame clips from clips in the Timeline or the Event Browser. If you create a
freeze-frame clip from the Event Browser, it is attached to the primary storyline at the playhead
location as a connected clip.
You can create freeze frames on the fly during playback or by navigating to a specific frame in
a clip.
Note: A freeze-frame clip preserves any attributes that were applied to the source clip, such as
settings and effects.
