Freeze a frame in your video and hold the moment

Overview

Scrub to the moment you want to hold. The picker steps frame by frame, so you can stop on the exact instant a ball leaves the hand or a face turns to the camera rather than the nearest half-second. Set the hold between 0.5 and 10 seconds and tap Save. iEdit inserts the still at that point: the video plays, pauses on the frame for the chosen time, then continues from where it stopped.

During the hold the sound pauses too, so a voice is not cut mid-word and the music resumes in step with the picture when motion returns. The output is re-encoded with the phone's hardware encoder in H.264 or HEVC at the source resolution, with location, device and date metadata kept; HDR footage is saved as SDR. The job runs with progress and Cancel, and finishes in the background with a notification.

A freeze frame is the simplest dramatic device in video: hold the goal, the reveal, the punchline. It is also practical, giving a viewer time to read a sign, a slide or a score. If you want to layer text over the frozen moment, the video editor has the same 2-second freeze as a clip option plus text layers. Nothing is uploaded; the tool works offline.
