Creating a Freeze Frame
Creating a freeze frame is a two-step process. First you choose a Two-Field Freeze Frame option and then you choose a duration for the resulting effect. You perform both steps using the Clip > Freeze Frame menu.
To create a Freeze Frame effect:
| 1. | |
Open a clip in the Source monitor.
|
| 2. | |
Cue the clip to the frame that you want to freeze.
|
| 3. | |
Select Clip > Freeze Frame.
|
The Freeze Frame submenu opens.
| 4. | |
Select Two Field Freeze Frames, and then select one of the following:
|
| – |
|
Using Duplicated Field — The Avid editing application creates
the effect using a single field. While this reduces the vertical
resolution of the image by one-half, it is often the best option if the
source footage contains rapid motion.
|
| – |
|
Using Both Fields — The Avid editing application uses both
fields to create the effect. This option is especially useful when
there is little or no motion in the footage since it preserves all
vertical resolution.
|
| – |
|
Using Interpolated Field — The Avid editing application creates
a second field for the effect by combining scan line pairs from the
first field in the original media. This might result in a slightly
softer look to the freeze frame.

| 5. | |
If you made a Two Field Freeze Frames choice in step 4, select
Clipá>áFreeze Frame again.
|
| 6. | |
Do one of the following:
|
| |
Select a preconfigured duration.
|
|
| |
Select Other and type a custom duration in the dialog box; then
click OK to enter the new duration.
|
| 7. | |
Click the Drive button, select a drive, and then click OK.
