you are making the clip longer, the source clip must contain enough additional frames
beyond its source In or Out point to accommodate the adjustment.

methods described in “Trimming clips in the Timeline window” on page 148 and “Using
the Trim window” on page 156.

If you set a clip in the Timeline window to the duration you require, but you don’t like
where the clip begins and ends in relation to the adjacent clips, you can use the slip
tool to adjust the clip without changing the clip’s program In and Out point or duration.
See “Removing parts of a sequence” on page 146.
Freezing a video frame
You can freeze one frame of a clip, so that only that frame appears for the duration of the
clip, as if you imported the frame as a still image. You can freeze on the clip’s In point, Out
point, or at marker 0 (zero), if present.
To freeze a video frame:
1
Select a clip in the Timeline window.
2
To freeze a frame other than the In or Out point, open the clip in the Source view, and
set Marker 0 (zero) to the frame you want to freeze.
3
Choose Clip > Video Options > Frame Hold.
4
Select Hold On, and select the frame you want to hold from the menu.
5
Specify the following options as necessary, and then click OK:
•
Hold Filters prevents any keyframed effect settings (if any are present) from animating
during the duration of the clip. Effect settings use the values at the held frame.
•
Deinterlace removes one field from an interlaced video clip and doubles the remaining
field, so that interlace artifacts (such as
combing
) are not apparent in the freeze frame.
Note: If you set the hold frame on an In or Out point, changing the edit point doesn’t
change the freeze frame.

Splitting a clip
You can split a clip in the sequence by using the razor tool . Splitting a clip creates a new
and separate instance of the original clip. It can be useful when you want to use different
effects that can’t both be applied to a single clip, such as different speed settings. When
