How can you create a freeze frame from a clip in Premiere Pro?

Creating a freeze frame from a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro is effectively achieved by right-clicking the clip and selecting either "Add Frame Hold" or "Insert Frame Hold Segment." This method allows you to take a specific frame from a video clip and hold it on the timeline, effectively creating a still image that maintains the look and feel of the video.

When you choose "Add Frame Hold," Premiere Pro will halt playback at the selected frame, allowing it to be used for an extended period in your edit. On the other hand, "Insert Frame Hold Segment" not only pauses on the selected frame but also inserts that still image into the timeline at that exact point, which can be useful for creating transitions or overlays.

Other methods, while having their functions, do not serve to create a straightforward freeze frame as effectively. For instance, using “Render and Replace” pertains to a different objective, often related to preparing clips for efficient playback rather than isolating a specific frame. Time Remapping allows for speed adjustments within a clip but does not specifically freeze a frame. Selecting “Export Frame” is a function that saves a single frame as an image file outside of the Premiere Pro workspace, which does not incorporate the freeze frame effect into your project timeline directly.
