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 Browser. If you create a freeze-
frame clip from the Browser, it is attached to the primary storyline at the playhead location as a
connected clip.
You can create freeze frames on the y during playback or by navigating to a specic frame in
a clip.
Note: A freeze-frame clip preserves any attributes that were applied to the source clip, such as
settings and eects.
Create a freeze-frame clip
1 In the Timeline or the Browser, do one of the following:
Move the skimmer or playhead to the frame you want to freeze.
Begin playback of the clip.
2 Choose Edit > Add Freeze Frame (or press Option-F).
How the freeze frame is added to the project depends on whether the freeze frame was created
from the Timeline or the Browser.
If you created the freeze frame from a clip in the Timeline: A new freeze-frame clip is inserted at
the skimmer or playhead location in the Timeline.
If you created the freeze frame from a clip in the Browser: A new freeze-frame clip is attached as a
connected clip at the playhead location in the Timeline.
Change the default duration of freeze-frame clips
Freeze-frame clips have the same default duration as still-image clips: 4 seconds. You can change
the default duration in Final Cut Pro preferences.
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences (or press Command-Comma), and click the Editing button at
the top of the window.
2 Adjust the Still Images value slider.
If you don’t want to create a separate clip for freeze frames, you can create a hold segment using
the Retime pop-up menu. For more information, see Create a hold segment on page 313.
