Freeze or Pause a Frame

Looking to display a frame for a few seconds? You have two options: either capture the image several times successively, or choose the pause option. Pausing, also known as holding or freeze framing, is akin to copying and pasting the frame multiple times.

  1. While in the movie editor, open the frame edit menu for the frame to pause.
  2. Select Pause from the menu.
  3. Select how long you want to pause the frame. If the frame has an audio clip attached to it you can also opt to pause the frame for the duration of the audio clip.
  4. Press Done. The number on top of the frames thumbnail shows the length of the pause.

TIP: If you mess up, you can change or adjust the image duration at any time. Just redo the steps.
