Final Cut Pro X: Freeze-Frames and Slow Motion
Benjamin Arango
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
A very simple, yet very effective effect is changing the speed of a video clip. This could be a simple still-frame (also called “Freeze Frame”) or playing a clip in slow or fast motion.
This article shows you how to do this using Final Cut Pro X.
For more tutorials on slow-motion please refer to this article: Top 10 Slow Motion Video Editing Software.
Freeze-Frames and Slow Motion in Final Cut Pro X
1. STILL FRAMES
A still-frame freezes action. For instance, here is a clip of a hummingbird getting ready to land on a bird feeder. I want to create a freeze-frame of the bird in flight. (Um, yeah, I use “freeze-frame” and “still-frame” interchangeably.)
In Final Cut Pro X, put the playhead (or skimmer) on the frame you want to freeze and type Option+F.
This creates a two-second freeze-frame at the position of the playhead.
Adjust the duration of the frame by trimming the edge; just like any other clip. Here, for example, I’m making the duration of the freeze-frame 11 frames shorter.
In case you were wondering, this is what the freeze looks like. It freezes the flight of the hummingbird in the middle of playback, allowing us to add graphics or other text then resume the action as though nothing had happened.
Very cool, except….
Well, the good news is that this is fast and easy. The bad news is that we can’t change the location of the still frame.
So, here’s another way to do this.
Put the playhead (or skimmer, but I prefer the playhead) on the frame you want to freeze, select the clip, then type Shift+F.
This locates the source clip in the Browser, selects both the Browser and the clip, and matches the position of the In, Out, and playhead.
Now, with the Browser selected, type Option+F. This creates a freeze-frame of the Browser clip and places it at the location of the playhead as a connected clip in the Timeline.
As a connected clip, we can move this new freeze-frame wherever we want. However, be careful in moving the clip, because, unless you mark the original frame with a marker (type “M”), there’s no easy way to match the still frame with the source frame, once the still frame is moved somewhere else.
I use both these techniques in many different projects.
2. HOLD FRAME
A Hold Frame is similar to an in-line still frame, but with more flexibility.
Put the playhead (or skimmer) on the frame you want to hold. Then, Then, using either Modify > Retime or the “Smurf-on-a-headset” Toolbar icon, choose Hold Frame (or type: Shift+H).
This displays the orange Retime editor bar above the clip, with a small red portion indicating the Hold frame.
Change the duration of the Hold frame by dragging the small thumb at the right end of the red bar.
Add a speed ramp transition at the end of the Hold frame by clicking the downward-pointing arrow next to the word “Hold” in the Retime Editor.
To change the actual frame being held, double-click the bar icon to the LEFT of the red Hold section and choose Source Frame (Edit). This allows you to slide the Hold frame selection left or right.
NOTE: Changing the source frame is a feature that I like a LOT!
3. SLOW (or FAST) MOTION
We use slow-motion to show events that are too fast for the unaided eye to see. And fast motion to speed up very slow events. Both of these effects use what’s called a “constant speed change,” where the entire clip changes by the same amount - either faster or slower.
WE create either effect using the same tools, just different values. Here’s how.
Select the clip who’s speed you want to change. Then, using either Modify > Retime or the “Smurf” Toolbar icon, select Slow (or Fast).
Choose one of the available speeds; in this case, 50%. (Yes, you can change this to any value you want, I’ll show you how in a minute.)
Three things happen at once:
- The duration of the clip changes
- The orange Retiming bar appears over the top of the clip
- The speed of the clip changes
To reset the speed back to normal (100%), click the downward-pointing arrow in the Retiming bar and choose Normal (100%).
There are two ways to change the speed of a clip.
The easy way is to grab the small handle at the end of the clip and drag left or right. The speed will change as you drag it.
Or, for more precision, click the downward-pointing arrow in the Retiming bar and choose Custom.
This opens a new dialog allowing a number of changes:
- Reverse. Plays the clip in reverse.
- Rate. Select a specific speed change as a percentage of normal speed for a clip. Less than 100% is slow-motion. More than 100% is fast-motion.
- Duration. Select a specific duration for a clip and FCP X will calculate how fast or slow it needs to go.
- Ripple. When checked, adjusts the duration of a clip based upon the speed. When unchecked, the clip duration remains fixed even when speed changes.
You will get the smoothest speed changes when the percentage you choose divides evenly into 200. For example, 100, 66, 50, 40, 33, 25, 20, 10 and so on.
4. EXTRA CREDIT
There is one more setting to consider when slowing a clip. (This does not apply when creating fast motion.)
Using, again, either Modify > Retime or the “Smurf” menu, select Video Quality.
- Normal. This is the best choice for speeds of 50% or faster.
- Frame Blending. This is the best choice for speeds of about 20% to 50%.
- Optical Flow. This is the best choice for speeds slower than about 20%.
Frame blending puts a short dissolve between frames when running in slow motion to improve the illusion of motion. Optical Flow invents in-between frames to minimize the jerkiness of extremely slow motion.
Frame blending is relatively fast and easy. Optical Flow will look better in most cases, but takes a long time to render.

From Pixels to Proportions: A Guide to Finding the Ideal Picture Ratio
How Do You Find the Picture Ratio Calculator?
An easy yet powerful editor
Numerous effects to choose from
Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
Aspect ratios are critical elements in photography, although you don’t have to go that deep! Still, you are here as you understand the significance of using aspect ratios in your projects and thus are looking to find the best picture ratio calculator.
In this guide, we’ll talk about everything you need to know about the photo ratio calculator.
In this article
01 [What is Picture Size Ratio?](#Part 1)
02 [What is 1920x1080 in Ratio?](#Part 2)
03 [How Do You Find the Ratio of an Image?](#Part 3)
04 [1920x1080 Aspect Ratio and 16:9 Aspect Ratio Differences](#Part 4)
05 [The Resolution Calculator (image Ration Calculator)](#Part 5)
06 [A Practical Explanation about Aspect Ratios in Filmora](#Part 6)
Part 1 What is Picture Size Ratio?
As already mentioned, a picture size ratio refers to calculating or determining the Ratio of an image. And, it’s accomplished by using apicture ratio calculator. So, for example, the picture size ratio could vary from 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, etc.
You can visualize this aspect ratio by allocating an image’s width and height units. For example, a 6×4 inch image has a 3:2 aspect ratio, whereas a 1920×1080 pixel video includes a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Fact Check:
An aspect ratio does not contain attached units—instead, it shows how large the width compared to the height, meaning that an image measured in centimeters will have the same aspect ratio even if measured in inches.
The relationship between its height and width decides the shape and Ratio instead of the image’s actual size.
Different aspect ratios consist of varying effects on the image you use. For example, an image set in a 1:1 ratio vs. a 5:4 ratio changes the composition and perception of the photo.
Types of picture size ratios
1:1 Ratio
A 1:1 ratio includes an image’s width and height are square and thus equal. Some standard 1:1 ratios are an 8″x8″ photo, a 1080 x 1080 pixel image generally used for mobile screens, print photographs, and social media platforms.
3:2 Ratio
The 3:2 Ratio is generally 35mm film and photography and is still extensively used for prints. Images framed at 6″x4″ or 1080×720 pixels set within this aspect ratio.
5:4 Ratio
Last but not least, this Ratio is standard in photography and art prints and photography.
In the following sections, let’s uncover more about the photo aspect ratio and its related calculator!
Part 2 What is 1920x1080 in Ratio?
1920 x 1080 is itself a 16:9 aspect ratio. By default, DSLRs, smartphones, and most modern camcorders record video at 1920 x 1080.
Part 3 How Do You Find the Ratio of an Image?
Before finding the image ratio, understand that there’s a difference between image size and image ratio.
Unlike aspect ratios, image size shows the actual width and height in pixels. Image size refers to the image dimensions. You can measure its dimensions in any unit, but you’ll generally see pixels used for digital or web images and inches used for print images.
It’s essential to note that two different images containing the same aspect ratio may not have the exact dimensions of an image. For instance, the image has 1920×1080 pixels has 16:9 aspect ratios, and an image sized at 1280×720 pixels has a 16:9 aspect ratio.
You can use thistool to measure the aspect ratio of images. Here, match either ratio width and ratio and height or pixel width and pixel height to find the aspect ratio in thisimage size ratio calculator.
Part 4 1920x1080 Aspect Ratio and 16:9 Aspect Ratio Differences
These are almost the same. The only difference is that of the pixels. If you cancel the numbers 1920 and 1080, they will automatically come as 16 and 9. 1920 x 1080 is a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Part 5 The Resolution Calculator (Image Ratio Calculator)
To use a picture aspect ratio calculator, you need to understand the following.
Understand the following five variables:
● H1 Height of the initial image
● W1 Width of the initial image
● H2 Height of the final image
● W2 Width of the final image
● A percentage - the proportion of the initial image’s ratio to the final image’s ratio.
The aspect ratio formulas that sync the quantities mentioned above for the ratio converter are:
H1/W1 = H2/W2,
H1 * A% = H2, and
W1 * A% = W2
You are not required to understand the details by heart; if the initial resolution is generally used, use the list to select the ideal ratio:
Proportions
● 4:3,
● 3:2,
● 16:9,
● 16:10,
● 1:1, square, in some social networks,
● 85:1,
Pixels
● 2048:1536, iPad with Retina screen;
● 1920:1080, HD TV, iPhone 6 plus; and
● 800:600, traditional television & computer monitor standard.

As far as you may know, various media players help you to transform the aspect ratio in real-time when playback. Yet this modification is temporary. You are required to change the aspect ratio again next time you open them.
But, changing the aspect ratios is pretty different than other media players. You need to launch the program and create a new project simply. But, before you do a new project, you can easily change it at the beginning panel.
The Filmora assists you in changing the aspect ratio of the project after downloading. Hit the drop-down tab, and you will choose the options among 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, and 21:9 aspect ratios.

Part 1 What is Picture Size Ratio?
As already mentioned, a picture size ratio refers to calculating or determining the Ratio of an image. And, it’s accomplished by using apicture ratio calculator. So, for example, the picture size ratio could vary from 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, etc.
You can visualize this aspect ratio by allocating an image’s width and height units. For example, a 6×4 inch image has a 3:2 aspect ratio, whereas a 1920×1080 pixel video includes a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Fact Check:
An aspect ratio does not contain attached units—instead, it shows how large the width compared to the height, meaning that an image measured in centimeters will have the same aspect ratio even if measured in inches.
The relationship between its height and width decides the shape and Ratio instead of the image’s actual size.
Different aspect ratios consist of varying effects on the image you use. For example, an image set in a 1:1 ratio vs. a 5:4 ratio changes the composition and perception of the photo.
Types of picture size ratios
1:1 Ratio
A 1:1 ratio includes an image’s width and height are square and thus equal. Some standard 1:1 ratios are an 8″x8″ photo, a 1080 x 1080 pixel image generally used for mobile screens, print photographs, and social media platforms.
3:2 Ratio
The 3:2 Ratio is generally 35mm film and photography and is still extensively used for prints. Images framed at 6″x4″ or 1080×720 pixels set within this aspect ratio.
5:4 Ratio
Last but not least, this Ratio is standard in photography and art prints and photography.
In the following sections, let’s uncover more about the photo aspect ratio and its related calculator!
Part 2 What is 1920x1080 in Ratio?
1920 x 1080 is itself a 16:9 aspect ratio. By default, DSLRs, smartphones, and most modern camcorders record video at 1920 x 1080.
Part 3 How Do You Find the Ratio of an Image?
Before finding the image ratio, understand that there’s a difference between image size and image ratio.
Unlike aspect ratios, image size shows the actual width and height in pixels. Image size refers to the image dimensions. You can measure its dimensions in any unit, but you’ll generally see pixels used for digital or web images and inches used for print images.
It’s essential to note that two different images containing the same aspect ratio may not have the exact dimensions of an image. For instance, the image has 1920×1080 pixels has 16:9 aspect ratios, and an image sized at 1280×720 pixels has a 16:9 aspect ratio.
You can use thistool to measure the aspect ratio of images. Here, match either ratio width and ratio and height or pixel width and pixel height to find the aspect ratio in thisimage size ratio calculator.
Part 4 1920x1080 Aspect Ratio and 16:9 Aspect Ratio Differences
These are almost the same. The only difference is that of the pixels. If you cancel the numbers 1920 and 1080, they will automatically come as 16 and 9. 1920 x 1080 is a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Part 5 The Resolution Calculator (Image Ratio Calculator)
To use a picture aspect ratio calculator, you need to understand the following.
Understand the following five variables:
● H1 Height of the initial image
● W1 Width of the initial image
● H2 Height of the final image
● W2 Width of the final image
● A percentage - the proportion of the initial image’s ratio to the final image’s ratio.
The aspect ratio formulas that sync the quantities mentioned above for the ratio converter are:
H1/W1 = H2/W2,
H1 * A% = H2, and
W1 * A% = W2
You are not required to understand the details by heart; if the initial resolution is generally used, use the list to select the ideal ratio:
Proportions
● 4:3,
● 3:2,
● 16:9,
● 16:10,
● 1:1, square, in some social networks,
● 85:1,
Pixels
● 2048:1536, iPad with Retina screen;
● 1920:1080, HD TV, iPhone 6 plus; and
● 800:600, traditional television & computer monitor standard.

Free Commercial Image Sources: A Comprehensive Guide
Did you know that some of the world’s most iconic advertisements use stock images for commercial use? For example, AlamapBBDO, a Brazilian ad agency, used stock photos from Getty Images to create their Endless Possibilities campaign in 2016. The advertising campaign combined photos of random people’s faces to recreate portraits of famous people such as the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis.
Most creative agencies prefer altering stock images in most of their work. This is because it allows them to create campaigns for different companies much faster at affordable costs. Keep reading to find out how to get free images for commercial use in your next project.
Part 1: Download images in loyalty-free sites
Several sites offer free images for commercial use as part of their services. In addition, you do not need to register an account to download the images. The sites typically rely on user contributions and content teams to ensure their databases are fresh and maintain consistent quality. Furthermore, all creative assets they offer fall under the creative commons zero license or a variation of it. Here are some of the sites that offer you images for commercial use for free.
1. Pexels
Pexels.com is a free-to-use provider of high-resolution photos and videos for aspiring creators. The German-based website was started in 2014 by two brothers and has been under the Canva umbrella since 2018.
Currently, the website hosts over 3.2 million images and videos from over 250,000 active contributors. In addition, all the material you find in its library is under the Pexels license, which slightly varies from the creative commons zero license model. Some of the restrictions it enforces include:
- You can only use pexels images for commercial use after making alterations to the original image. For example, you can use part of an image to create a collage for your commercial branding.
- Furthermore, you cannot use any of the website’s content to promote political ideologies and explicit content, especially if the images contain identifiable subjects.
Pexels is available through the following channels:
- Your web browser by typing the URL pexels.com.
- The Android and iOS app.
- A plugin for other content creation software such as Google Slides and MS Office.
- An extension on your Chrome browser.
- You can also access the database using the official Canva app.
2. Unsplash
Another website that offers free images for commercial use is Unsplash, a subsidiary of Getty Images since 2021. The website is a favorite among creators boasting over 16 billion photo impressions monthly. In addition, the database consists of over 3.48 million photos from more than 265,000 unique contributors, all under the Unsplash license.
The Unsplash license restricts the sale of its creative assets without incorporating new creative elements, including using them in print media and physical goods such as mugs and caps.
You can access Unsplash from your web browser or request API integration for your application from the site’s owners. In addition, the site also hosts photo walks across different cities, where Unsplash guides show you the best photo locations around the city and the best camera techniques for your work. Some cities to host the event include Boston, Montreal, Tokyo, and Toronto.
3. Freerange
Freerange Stock is an online resource for photos, illustrations, and textures you can download and use for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Since 2007, the site has continued to provide high-quality images to its community of over 800,000 registered users.
Unlike the previous examples, all content on Freerange falls under the website’s Equalicense. It grants you broad commercial rights of its stock images while allowing the contributors to retain control of their copyright, image resale, and distribution. As such, you cannot use the images for bulk distribution or print-on-demand works.
Freerange Stock maintains its steady supply of images for commercial use via the following methods:
- It has an in-house team of professional photographers who upload images across the different categories on the website.
- Freerange Stock also purchases image rights or directly commissions photos from independent creators.
- You can also contribute to the website’s library by voluntarily submitting your work to the platform. Kindly note that you will need a verified account to enable this function.
- The website also works directly with photographers through a licensing and distribution model, providing them extra exposure on the site.
- Finally, Freerange stock aggregates public domain images from other sources, including similar sites and government institutions. It does so by acknowledging the image owner and sometimes lists the image source when the owner is unknown.
Freerange Stock is accessible through your web browser or as an API integration on your app.
4. Vecteezy
Vecteezy is an extensive online library of free stock images for commercial use. Some of the site’s highlight features include the following:
- A best-in-class search engine that incorporates multiple filters to ensure your results are extremely accurate. For example, you can sort images by color, style, number of people, and age of the subjects, something other free stock websites do not provide.
- All images, videos, and vector illustrations are free for personal and commercial uses. It does so through a property sign and release model with its extensive network of contributors, which protects users from any legal liabilities.
- Finally, it employs a content team that manually reviews each photo submission to ensure consistent quality standards for its offerings.
In addition, you can also purchase design resource bundles by subscribing to its Vecteezy pro for as little as $9 monthly. Some of the resources available include the Ultimate Text Effects Layer Styles Bundle for Photoshop, which costs $39 stand-alone or $4.50 when you subscribe to pro.
Part 2: Buy from stock providers
Another way to get images for commercial use is by buying them from stock providers. Some of the benefits of buying images from stock providers include:
- You get a wide selection of unique photos from top-tier photographers. Stock providers always seek collaborations with the industry’s finest to edge out the competition.
- You receive exemplary customer service with your purchase. Selecting the right image can be confusing for amateur creators. As such, stock image providers have customer support channels to help you throughout your creative process.
- Stock images reduce your delivery times significantly. Buying images from a stock provider eliminates the need to invest in photography equipment and the time you need for post-production. As such, you can deliver projects in a fast and cost-effective way.
Despite the above positive, here are some challenges that buying stock images may present:
- Not all stock image providers will have the creative assets you need.
- Image overuse is likely since every creator will rush for the most popular contributor.
Below are some of the stock image providers you should consider.
1. iStock
iStockphoto.com is an online database of creative resources, including royalty-free photos, videos, audio, illustrations, and clip art you can use in your creations. The website is a Getty Images subsidiary based in Calgary, Canada. In addition, contributors earn royalties depending on how often users download their content.
2. Alamy.com
Alamy.com is a British-owned stock image provider with contributions from photographers and agencies in 173 countries. It compensates its contributors by offering higher than average payouts every time users download their creations. Some popular brands to use Alamy’s services include M&C Saatchi, Microsoft, and The Economist.
Part 3: Shot a Photo by yourself or create one with editing tools
Alternatively, you can get images for commercial use by shooting them yourself or creating them with editing tools such as Figma and Wondershare’s Filmstock. Here are some benefits of using this method:
- You get exactly what you want, provided you have the required skills and equipment. Sometimes, getting the right image for your commercial purpose can be challenging. As such, shooting an original photo may be the only option.
- You have full ownership of the image.
Unlike obtaining images from stock photography websites, you are free to use the image in whatever capacity you please without any restrictions. For example, sites such as Unsplash do not allow you to use their images in political statements, a restriction you can bypass when using your own creations.
However, you should also consider the following factors when using this method.
It requires a substantial investment
Getting high-quality images for commercial purposes requires specialist equipment. For example, the Panasonic LUMIX GH6 camera, which has 4K resolution capability, costs $2,197 on Amazon. This makes it extremely expensive for amateur creators.
There is a steep learning curve
Becoming a professional photographer takes time and effort. Unless you are creating as a hobby, it will be a while before you can start generating income from your creations.
Part 4: FAQs
1. Do you need a contributor account to get images for commercial use?
Not necessarily. Stock image sites like pexels.com allow you to download images from their website without creating an account. You will only need one if you want to showcase your work on the platform.
2. Can you use your smartphone to get images for commercial use?
Yes. Most stock image providers have device-specific apps that allow you to access their databases from your mobile device. For example, UnsplashPhotoPicker allows you access to the Unsplash library from your Android device.
