speeding and slowing video tracks

How do make the video pause holding the frame and start at a time specify. Like in the movies when they freeze the frame. I would also like to do a speed up and slow down on a single video track

right click in the clip and select "insert/remove" velocity envelope. Then you can adjust the speed from -100 to 300 %. 0% freezes the frame.

Make sure to enable Resample -> right click on the clip/propierties/resample, you will get smooth slow motion as well as speed up the clip.

If you want to speed up the clip more than just three time go to the end of the clip, holt CONTROL and drag the end of the clip to the left. Then add a velocity envelope to adjust the speed again.

Hope this helps.

Hi Byron,

Another way to easily freeze, is to split the clip right where you want the freeze, ctrl-drag a copy of the second piece, paste it on the end and set the middle piece to 0% velocity.

There is a description of this in the beginning of the "Draw-on" tutorial:

actually, when i want to create a freeze frame of a picture, i take a snapshot of it, they place it on the timeline for whatever period i want it there.
a very unsophisticated approach, but it works for me
