Step 1: Open CapCut and Start a New Project

First, open CapCut on your PC. Once the program is running, start a new project. If you don’t have a video already loaded, import one by selecting it from your computer and clicking “Open.”

Step 2: Add Your Video to the Timeline

After your video is imported, you’ll see it in the media section of CapCut. Simply drag the video file from the media section and drop it onto the timeline below. This is where all the editing magic happens.

Step 3: Find the Moment to Freeze

Now it’s time to choose the part of the video you want to freeze. Play the video and use the playhead (the line that moves as your video plays) to find the exact moment you’d like to pause. Once you find it, stop the playhead right there.

Step 4: Apply the Freeze Frame

Look at the options above the timeline and find the “Freeze” button. Click it while the playhead is at your chosen point. CapCut will automatically split the video at that point and create a freeze frame that pauses the video.

Step 5: Adjust the Freeze Frame

You can adjust how long the freeze frame lasts. To do this, zoom in on the timeline for better accuracy and drag the edges of the frozen frame clip. Make it as short or long as you need for your video. You can also add transitions to make the pause smoother.

Step 6: Review and Save Your Work

Once you’re happy with your freeze frame and adjustments, play your video back to see how it looks. If everything looks good, save your project.

That’s it! Now you know how to create a freeze frame in CapCut PC. Feel free to experiment with this tool to enhance your video editing projects.
