Hey, what's up everybody? And welcome back to Gal! Today. I'm
showing you four different frame hold or video
freeze frame effects inside of premiere pro.
Now a freeze frame enables you to extend one frame
for any duration of time and create some cool
freeze frame snapshot effects.
So I'll be showing you a bunch of different tricks
and methods for creating freeze frames in premiere pro.
So if you want to skip ahead to a particular effect,
I put all the time codes below so you can just click on that.
To skip ahead to check out one of those effects
in all of the assets that I'm using in's
tutorial are linked below as well, so
if you want to follow along, you can check those out,
but without further ado, let's go ahead and jump on and.
Here my timeline.
I have this motocross shot of the Sky jumping on his bike. It
looks pretty cool and let's say you wanted to add a freeze frame
at this moment right here.
The first way to do this is to just simply control click
or right click on the clip and select add frame hold.
What this will do is it will create a cut at the play head
and then the rest of the shot is frozen in time so it plays
and then it's frozen and this is great and all.
But let's say you just wanted it to be frozen for a second or so
and then you want the video to continue.
Now this method will not work.
This is where we have to insert a frame
hold segment instead.
So let's go ahead and hit command Z to undo that
and let's go back to the moment that we want it to be frozen.
Let's say right here, and let's go ahead and control,
click again and let's insert frame hold segment.
What this will do is it will split the clip
and it will insert iframe hold segment.
That's two seconds in between.
So the video is going.
It's frozen for two seconds.
And then it continues to adjust the duration of this segment. You
can hover at the end of this segment here and
see how it's a red trim icon if
you hit command on a Mac, it'll turn yellow,
hold that down till it turns yellow, then click and drag
and you can drag this out to make it as long as you want.
And then you can see how it ripples
over the end of the video automatically.
If you want to make it shorter, just press it again
and then roll it back in, and then it rippled elites in.
So inserting A-frame hold segment between your clip.
Here is the fastest way to create a freeze frame,
but just doing that doesn't
add much value to your edit.
You actually need to think about what sort of effect you're going to create.
So next I'm going to show you how to create a snapshot freeze frame effect.
Using some sound effects in some built-in transitions.
So at this moment, let's say we want it
to go black like a shutter effect.
This is where I can go to effects
and search for the dip to black transition
so you can see it's located under the video transitions
folder underneath dissolve.
So at this moment I'm going to drag and drop this effect
between these two clips at the cut point
and then I can select the transition
and grab the end of it to make it shorter or longer.
I'm going to make it shorter.
But of course you can always select it and then go up to affect controls. And
if you want to make it a specific duration, you can type it in. I
want to make it exactly five frames
so now that is done if we play it back
you can see it just flashes and then it goes on.
So to really sell this we need to add some sound effects.
So at this moment I'm going to zoom in a little bit
so it's easier to see.
And I'm going to add a camera shutter effect that
I downloaded from envato elements. So
I have this rate here camera zero
I'm going to drag and drop this to line up
exactly with the transition,
so I'm going to make this layer a little bit bigger.
And I'm going to hold option
and use the arrow bracket
keys to just move this over one frame so
I can use these arrow keys just to nudge it over
while holding the option or the alt key.
If you're on a PC and then I have a lens
shut camera effect
and I'm going to drag and drop this right where.
This sound clip ends,
so bring this up to video layer one
in this one up to video layer two
and I'll nudge this over by holding option.
In now, if we play this back,
you'll see what it looks like.
So I still think that this freeze frame is a little long I
want to shorten the duration, so I'm going to hit command again
and I'm going to roll this in an
you can see the duration in that Gray overlay. Wanna
make it around eighteen frames?
And now let's see how this looks.
And then it continues on.
So that's a basic camera freeze frame effect.
But if you want it to be a little bit more complicated or interesting,
you can download some camera overlays from envato elements.
They have a bunch of different premade animations with sound effects,
so if I play this back I was able to create a little camera overlay
with a sound effect there.
Of course you don't need to use the envato elements overlay, you
can definitely make your own overlay in Photoshop.
It just takes a little bit longer so.
I encourage you guys to go explore the different camera overlays that
are available in envato elements.
I use them all the time, so next
if you're dealing with multiple layers in your timeline, which
is probably going to happen more often than not, it's
actually better to use a custom frame hold
instead of doing the insert frame hold segment.
So I'm going to show you how to do that now in the timeline,
so here I have multiple layers.
I have this animated subscribe button
that animates in and out and this couple jumping.
Up and down.
Now what I want to do is make this animated text
last the entire duration of this video clip,
but this is a motion graphics template. I
can't extend this out.
If I click on it and go to the essential graphics panel,
I have some parameters to change here,
but there isn't a parameter to change the duration, just
basics like customizing the color in the text.
So what we need to do is use a frame hold to
achieve this duration change.
So if we move the playhead to the moment that
we want to create a freeze frame
an we control click or right click.
An hit insert frame hold segment.
This will actually create a split
on all of the layers, which can get complicated if
you have an audio clip like here.
I have this music track so I'm going to hit command Z to undo that
and what we want to do instead is do a custom frame hold
so this is where I'm going to zoom in a little bit
and I'm going to create a cut here
when I hit see on my keyboard and cut
and then I'm going to use the arrow keys to go one frame.
Over and make another cut.
And here is where I'm going to go back to the selection tool
or hold V on your keyboard
and select this frame
and on this frame I'm going to control click
and add frame hold and then we need to control. Click
again and go to frame hold options
and this is where we're going to change it to sequence timecode
'cause this will allow us to change the duration
to match any duration in our sequence.
So hit OK just like before I'm
going to hover over this end of this frame hit.
Command so it's yellow and then drag it out to extend it
and I'm going to zoom out a little bit so it's easier here
and then hit command and pull this over.
So this is super useful.
I use is on all of my motion graphics templates
so that way it can exactly match the duration I want it to be.
The last way to make a freeze frame from
your video is using the export frame method.
Now this involves a few more steps
and takes a little bit more time, which is why it's not my favorite method.
But I usually use this method
if I'm going to export a frame for a thumbnail that
I'm creating for my video, or a design that I'm creating in photo shop.
So let me show you how it works.
So what you can do is just kind of go through until
you find the moment where you want to make your freeze frame,
and rather than right clicking on the clip,
you're going to go up to this menu bar
and you'll find an icon that says export frame.
It looks like a little camera if you do not see this here,
just go to the button editor.
And then drag this button into the toolbar.
So just simply click on this icon and will bring up a new window.
Here in this new window you can change the name
and you can choose a different format to export it
as I'll just export it as a PNG file
and also because you're exporting this, it's
going to be saved somewhere on your computer, so
if you don't want it to be in your downloads folder, you can browse
and you can export it to a specific folder
dedicated to these exported frames.
And if you want it to be imported into the project, you
need to make sure that this is checked.
So then hit OK
and now I can double click on this file in the project panel
and you'll see that it's just this frame
and then if you want to bring it into your timeline you
can just drag and Drop it
and then we can make a cut right here where the freeze frame begins and
then just drag this clip over, bring this one down
and now we have the video frozen at this moment and
then it continues on just like we did before.
But this. Method is a little bit more clunky, a little bit more steps.
It takes a little bit longer and that's why I mainly uses
method for exporting my thumbnails,
so I hope these methods are useful to you
for creating frame holds in your own video,
and before we wrap up,
I want to tell you guys about this new RGB
F7 Fold light
that Falcon I send to me.
Now this light is really cool, it's
full of Bullets, a pocket light you can travel with it.
It is a little bit heavier than some of the other.
Lighter on camera lights that I have,
that's just because it has so much power inside of it
and it's rechargeable by a USB C cables.
Of course you can turn it into any color that you want,
and you can also change it to just a white, blue or light,
or add more tungsten color if
you're just lighting a normal scene and right behind me. Right
now I have the Falcon eyes f7
original panel that they sent me.
It's just one panel an I use it just to add more.
Color to my side here, just to make it more interesting.
Without it, it just doesn't have as much of a pop.
There's also lots of creative effects that you can use with this light
so you can download the app diesel light
and you can control it from your phone
and you can get really cool effects
like fire truck or police
papparazi strobe effects, party effects,
candled TV, all sorts of different cool effects
that will help you build some creative sets
while you're filming, so Falcon eyes did not sponsor this video, but.
They sent me the light to test out and I liked it so much
I thought that you guys would enjoy it as well
and I put my Amazon affiliate link in the description box
below if you're interested in checking it out.
And Lastly to wrap up this video,
I'd like to share with you my favorite comment of the week
from doctor Paul Lilly. He wrote.
Thank you so much
I can't begin to tell you how helpful this is for me.
I've been looking for ways to make finance more
interesting with green screen, an masking.
This is incredible with a heart,
so thank you doctor Paul for that comment on the six creative masking effects.
I'm so glad that it helped you out
to get started and video an
make finance a little bit more interesting.
So yeah, that's all for this video. Don't
forget to give it a big thumbs up if you liked it.
An also leave a comment below.
And yeah, stay creative and remember, practice makes perfect.
See you guys next time bye!
