The new freeze frame function is MVS 15 is where?

Can't find anything in the manual or help, only the same promotion that you can do it. Is this an unfortunate oversight? Shouldn't "freeze" in Search Help or the Manual bring up an explanation?

Help from the experts, please?

Thank you.

It's in the new Event Header of an Event on the timeline. If it's button isn't showing click on the Hamburger to find it.

It probably hasn't made the Help screen or Manual yet. Also note it has a problem with interlaced material as it shows an interlaced frame with combing if there's movement.

P.S. I don't claim to be an expert.

I've always had a Freeze Frame function. I simply set my preview screen to Best/Full, click the 'Save Snapshot to file ...' icon then insert the snapshot in the appropriate place in the timeline. Or does the new Freeze Frame function in VMS15 do something different? Oh, and I never get interlacing.

No need anymore to set preview screen to best/full when making a snapshot.

Yes you don't fortunately, and it provides a workaround for the problem that you do get interlacing when you static extend a clip. Why VMS cannot deinterlace when doing a static extension or freeze frame is a mystery when it does deinterlace with an image and surely all operations are much the same.

I just added a freeze frame by selecting "Freeze Frame at cursor" from the menu on the video event header. Now the audio is out of sync with the video for the rest of the video event. WTF?!?!?!? I can't imagine this would be intended behavior. I must be missing something because this makes the feature completely unusable. Help!

What exactly are you trying to achieve? You do realise that when you insert freeze frames the video and audio are now different lengths and consequently sync cannot be maintained? If you want the audio to stay in sync with the second part of the clip leaving an audio gap between them you need to:

Split the audio at the cursor point
Turn off Rippling
Turn on Ignore Event Grouping
Then move the second part of the audio to the same start position of your video after the freeze frames.

EDIT: Actually it's even easier. After splitting the audio just right click the second audio part and select "Synchronize by Moving".
