Animating the video strip

During playback of a video file, the video strip can display animated or still frames. This can visually aid in editing and positioning your audio to match the video. From the Options menu, choose Video, and then choose Animate Video Strip. A check mark appears next to this option on the menu when the feature is enabled. When the video strip is animated, the video strip always displays the frame that corresponds to the

cursor position. Press

Alt + or to move the cursor one frame.

When frame animation is turned off, the video strip always shows the frame that corresponds to the left edge of each image in the video strip.

Tip: If you experience slow or stuttering video preview, turn off animated video to reduce the load on your CPU.

Right-click the video strip and choose Animate from the shortcut menu.

Copying the current video frame to the clipboard

You can use the clipboard to copy the video frame at the current cursor position. From the Options menu, choose Video, and then choose Copy Frame. The current frame is copied to the clipboard.

Right-click the video strip and choose Copy Frame from the shortcut menu.
