easy freeze frame no loss
I’ve seen this asked so many times without the answer I stumbled on by accident. This is how I freeze frames without snapshots or tedious velocity envelopes, the painless and brainless way.
– split the clip in the timelime where you want it to freeze.
– make sure event is selected, rightclick and select Create Subclip (or just use the shortcut “b”).
– drag the newly created subclip past it’s end point as long as you want your freeze to last.
No loss in quality. I do this all the time to turn a photographers flash into a nice transition or just to create smooth “settled” crossfades.
I felt compelled to share this to give something back to this group that’s answered many of my questions. -

I just set my preview window to best/full and take a snapshot. But I have heard it’s not the quality of one frame. Just drage the left and righ edges down to just the frame you want, and render a uncopresed AVI. I can’t see the difference though.

The point is to do it quick (3 clicks) and move on. No need to waste time rendering anything or changing preview settings. just split – right click – hit”b”- drag-finished. I shot, edit and deliver everything via BD at 1920×1080 without any problems or quality issues.

– and make sure that you have switched off Loop option 😉
p.s. I prefer one click solution using a script

if this is a free script please share where it can be downloaded.

I still favour the velocity envelop, which I don’t find “tedious”. These envelopes give me much more control over the process of accelerating and de-accelerating then a simple snapshot or this subclip method.
