Can I copy and past a single frame or section of an event?

I can copy and paste events. I can split events. But when I do this, the Mocha Pro tracking is not in line with the copied frames. The tracking data always displays as if it's at the beginning of the event, no matter what part of the event I copy.
When I try to render a single frame. It gives me an error about an "unsupported format".
Please tell me there is a way to simply copy and paste a single frame or section of frames.

Zoom in to isolate the frame, press S then select the frame and press Ctrl+C. Now you can paste the frame anywhere else. Select the original split frame and the event it was split from, right-click and select Event Heal.
Won't that do what you want?

Event heal simply changes whatever I copied, back to the original frame from the event. Therefore it does nothing.

In other words. I can copy a frame, but not the tracking data associated with it, because the tracking data is not "copied" but rather repeated as a brand new event from the beginning of the track.

If I heal the event, the frame I copied disappears and it simply goes back to it's original state, as if nothing was changed.

I've tried to "time stretch" the last frame, and it successfully stretches the visual part of the frame, as if I had repeatedly copied it, but once again it does not stretch the effect. The effect is not included as part of the "time stretch" or the "copy" action.
All of these actions involve the video file, and ignore the effects associated with it.

In other words, I can't "duplicate" any given frame of any given part of the workspace. And like I said before, if I try to render a single frame, it gives me an error, so that doesn't work either.

Ok, I solved it. By pure luck.

There is a tool called "Envelop Edit Tool". Using this tool, you can right click on the event, and it will bring up an option to "Freeze Frame at Cursor". This brings up a green indicator that says, "Velocity 100%" where you froze the frame.
From that point, I can then switch to the normal edit tool, stretch the event, and it repeats the last frame, and all of the FX data associated with it, as far as you want.

Now, it's time to learn about envelopes and "velocity" because I need to understand how this works, as it seems important to know for the future. Lol.

@beaverbrook Take also a look at this option:
