Overview
While working on videos sometimes it is necessary to freeze a frame and prolong it's time on the screen. This can be used in films to leave room for special effects, make things dramatic, or can add many other moods to the film. This relates to animation because when using special effects freezing the frame can be helpful and i recently used it while working with an explosive ending for one of my films.
