If you want to use the frame in your sequence right then and there, click <strong>Import into Project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"option-2-add-frame-hold\">Option 2: Add Frame Hold<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81757 size-full\" title=\"How to Freeze Frame in Premiere Pro - Add Frame Hold\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Freeze-Frame-2.gif\" alt=\"How to Freeze Frame in Premiere Pro - Add Frame Hold\" width=\"755\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to perform the same action without creating a separate file, you can <strong>freeze the clip right on your timeline<\/strong> with the\u00a0<strong>Frame Hold<\/strong>\u00a0option. Clicking <strong>Add Frame Hold <\/strong>cuts the clip and turns the rest of it into a still image. This is extremely quick \u2014 however, the rest of your footage will be gone and you&#8217;ll have to drag the remainder of the clip back onto your timeline.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"option-3-insert-frame-hold-segment\">Option 3: Insert Frame Hold Segment<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81762 size-full\" title=\"How to Freeze Frame in Premiere Pro - Insert Frame Hold Segment\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Freeze-Frame-3.gif\" alt=\"How to Freeze Frame in Premiere Pro - Insert Frame Hold Segment\" width=\"755\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Insert Frame Hold Segment<\/strong> places a <strong>two-second still<\/strong> in the middle of a clip. This option <strong>keeps the remainder of your clip in the timeline<\/strong>. This is my preferred method for most of the\u00a0<strong>freeze framing<\/strong>\u00a0I do \u2014 usually in the middle of a scene for expositional or comedic effect.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what your project is, keeping the clip in the timeline is an essential safety measure (just in case you&#8217;re doubting the overall direction of the scene).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to exploring topics like\u00a0<strong>Frame Hold Options<\/strong>, this\u00a0masterful tutorial covers\u00a0choosing the frame head under the <strong>Playhead<\/strong>, the clip&#8217;s <strong>In<\/strong> or<strong> Out Point,<\/strong> or a <strong>Specific Timecode<\/strong> from the <strong>Source Clip<\/strong> or <strong>Sequence Timecode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend checking out the rest of <a title=\"Osborne Channel\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/dylanosborn\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Osborn&#8217;s channel<\/a> out for more expert video editing advice!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Are you a fan of the freeze frame?
