Right-click on a video clip on the timeline, select Edit Video/Photo and then Freeze Frame to instantly create a freeze frame effect. CyberLink PowerDirector takes a snapshot of the current frame of video and then inserts it into the timeline, along with a video and title effect, creating a freeze frame effect. Edit the inserted image and effects to your specification to ensure the freeze frame effect fits your requirements.
You can choose to not have CyberLink PowerDirector insert the effects by deselecting the option in preferences. See Editing Preferences for more information.
