still without saving to an image file

[Terry Esslinger]

What do you want to do with it?

If you just want a final frame extended as a still, it needs to be the final frame of an event, then just drag it out. possibly a better way is to use a velocity envelope and drop the velocity to zero at the point you want the still.
If you want to use the still somewhere else in the project you will have to save it as an image.

Hi Kal,

You can split the clip before and after the one frame that you want, and delete everything before and after, then place the one frame where you want it on the timeline, then stretch it for as long as you want, only that one frame will play. You can copy and past that one frame also as many times as you want in your video, this way you don’t need to create an extra file for the frame/shot.

Have an ice day 😉

Bernard,
I’m not sure that that will work. When you extend the “frame” you will recover the deleted footage. Although I believe there is a ‘switch’ in a preferences somewhere that might change that.

If you have trimmed footage from the event, you need to make a subclip and turn the Loop property off and then it will freeze if you extend the end.

Thanks everyone. The envelope and the subclip methods works for what I was trying to do – pause an event somewhere in the middle of the event.
