FCPX Essentials: Working with Freeze Frames and Slow Motion Video
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.

Ranking the Top Text Motion Tracking Solutions
Best Text Motion Tracking Software
Ollie Mattison
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Have you ever been mesmerized by a video with text or emoji’s moving together with objects? That effect is produced using motion tracking and isn’t very complicated. Today, we will introduce some text motion tracking software (free & paid) tools that allow you to pin text to video with minimum effort. There will also be detailed tutorials on how to utilize each tool. Let’s get started.
Best Text Motion Tracking Software [+Howtos]
Note: The list below is in no particular order.
1. Filmora
Pricing: Free (watermark) /starts at $49.99/year
Operating System: Windows & Mac
The newly released Wondershare Filmora X version has added the motion tracking features, which allows you to track moving objects in a video clip, and attach images, texts, elements and videos to follow the movement path.
How to Use Filmora Video Editor To Do Text Motion Tracking?
- Import the video footage to the timeline and then click the Motion Track icon in the tool bar to enable the Motion Tracking option.
- In the preview window, drag and adjust the tracking box to select a moving object as the target.
- Click the Start Tracking menu to start the moton tracking render, and Filmora video editor will compute the moving path automatically
- Now, go to the Titles tab and drag a subtitle, titles, lower 3rd, or callout to the track just above the motion-tracked video. Customize your texts, adjust its size, position, etc. in the preview window.
- Next, double click the video footage to enter the Motion Track option. Select the title as a follower. Playback the video, and you will see the text will move accordingly.
Below is a step by step video tutorial about how to use the motion tracking feature in Filmora. Keep watching.
2. Premiere Pro CC
Pricing: 14-day trial, minimum $20.99/month
Operating System: Windows, Mac
Adobe Premiere Pro is an industry-leading video editor. Premiere Pro CC has all the editing tools a pro video editor needs.
There is no automatic tracking feature in Premiere Pro to pin text to video. Therefore, you need to manually position your text and add keyframes frame by frame. But the overall effort required and the final result isn’t much different from traditional editors.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Premiere Pro CC? [Main Steps]
- Import your video to the timeline
- Add text by Pressing ‘T’ on your keyboard and clicking on the preview window (your footage)
- Change the position & duration of the text layer on the timeline according to the position & duration of motion tracking
- Make sure you’re on the frame you want to start tracking from
- Click on your text layer → then go to effects controls
- Change the position of the text to the point you want to track → click on the stopwatch icon to add a keyframe
- Move a few frames forward → adjust the position again → add another keyframe
- Don’t put the keyframes too close or too farther apart
- Play through to check it out → adjust the position and number of keyframes if any issues arise
The whole process is relatively easy, although tedious. But the process becomes very complicated when you have more dynamic motion in your clip
3. After Effects
Pricing: 7-day trial, $20.99/month (individual)
Operating System: Windows & Mac
Adobe After Effects is an editor that focuses on animation & creative composition. This app has been developed as a companion to Premiere Pro for creating short & flashy motion graphics and visual effects for projects.
Motion tracking in After Effects can be done using the Point Tracker, which has one-point and up to four-point tracking. Other tracking options include the built-in 3D Camera Tracker that lets you reverse engineer a scene and the spline tracker that enables you to track masks on an object. There is also Mocha AE, a planar tracker from BorisFX. The Point Tracker is the most flexible and versatile in After Effects. We’ll use it to pin text to video.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In After Effects? [Main Steps]
- Create a new composition/open an old one and make sure your clip is imported
- Create a null object by right-clicking on the window (screenshot below)
- Select your clip → click on tracker → click on track motion
- Two square boxes will appear
- Move the squares to the point you want to track (make sure to select an object with relatively high contrast for easier tracking)
- Position the smaller square on the object you want to track
- Make the second box is big enough (not too big) so that the tracked object stays within this square in the next frame
- Click on the analyze forward button (screenshot above)
- If the square box fails to track the object at any frame, reposition it and move on
- Make sure motion target is set to null object (e.g., Null 1)
- Now add the text
- While clicking on the pick whip tool of the text layer, drag it to the null object
- Play through to check the result
- You can manually change the position of the text in any frame by adjusting its position and adding a keyframe
We’re done. As we stated above, other types of trackers are also available for you to experiment with. The overall tracking functionality is much better than Premiere Pro.
4. Sony Vegas Pro
Pricing: 30-day trial, minimum $19.99/month
Operating System: Windows
Sony Vegas Pro is a non-linear video editor with the so-called “power of Artificial Intelligence.” It is one of the few editors out there that has acquired popularity among professionals and amateurs alike.
Text motion tracking in Vegas Pro is done using Bézier Masking FX (new update introduces a separate tab for motion tracking). The tracking process is automatic. Keyframes are created automatically frame by frame. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done in most cases. When it fails to track objects correctly, you can manually edit the keyframes.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Sony Vegas Pro? [Main Steps]
- Import your video
- Click on your video → go to the starting point of text motion tracking
- Click on Bézier Masking → drag the default one to your video
- A new options tab will appear & a square box with a circle (tracking box) will appear in the preview window
- Go to General options → set blend to 1,000
- Go to Mask 1 → Tracking → options → set the precision to high → set keyframe interval between 1 & 5
- Position the black dot of the tracking box to the point you want to track
- Click on start below the keyframe interval option
- After processing is complete → go to tools → extensions → add text to motion track → click on ok in the text position tab
- Enter your text, edit it if you want
- Play through to check the result
Conclusion:
As we’ve seen above, all the editors have some kind of automatic tracking feature, Premiere Pro being the only manual exception. All of them do a reasonably good job when it comes to pinning text to video. Professionals would be more satisfied with the added versatility and control in After Effects. Filmora, Filmora, Vegas Pro and Premiere Pro, on the other hand, are better suited for amateurs.

Have you ever been mesmerized by a video with text or emoji’s moving together with objects? That effect is produced using motion tracking and isn’t very complicated. Today, we will introduce some text motion tracking software (free & paid) tools that allow you to pin text to video with minimum effort. There will also be detailed tutorials on how to utilize each tool. Let’s get started.
Best Text Motion Tracking Software [+Howtos]
Note: The list below is in no particular order.
1. Filmora
Pricing: Free (watermark) /starts at $49.99/year
Operating System: Windows & Mac
The newly released Wondershare Filmora X version has added the motion tracking features, which allows you to track moving objects in a video clip, and attach images, texts, elements and videos to follow the movement path.
How to Use Filmora Video Editor To Do Text Motion Tracking?
- Import the video footage to the timeline and then click the Motion Track icon in the tool bar to enable the Motion Tracking option.
- In the preview window, drag and adjust the tracking box to select a moving object as the target.
- Click the Start Tracking menu to start the moton tracking render, and Filmora video editor will compute the moving path automatically
- Now, go to the Titles tab and drag a subtitle, titles, lower 3rd, or callout to the track just above the motion-tracked video. Customize your texts, adjust its size, position, etc. in the preview window.
- Next, double click the video footage to enter the Motion Track option. Select the title as a follower. Playback the video, and you will see the text will move accordingly.
Below is a step by step video tutorial about how to use the motion tracking feature in Filmora. Keep watching.
2. Premiere Pro CC
Pricing: 14-day trial, minimum $20.99/month
Operating System: Windows, Mac
Adobe Premiere Pro is an industry-leading video editor. Premiere Pro CC has all the editing tools a pro video editor needs.
There is no automatic tracking feature in Premiere Pro to pin text to video. Therefore, you need to manually position your text and add keyframes frame by frame. But the overall effort required and the final result isn’t much different from traditional editors.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Premiere Pro CC? [Main Steps]
- Import your video to the timeline
- Add text by Pressing ‘T’ on your keyboard and clicking on the preview window (your footage)
- Change the position & duration of the text layer on the timeline according to the position & duration of motion tracking
- Make sure you’re on the frame you want to start tracking from
- Click on your text layer → then go to effects controls
- Change the position of the text to the point you want to track → click on the stopwatch icon to add a keyframe
- Move a few frames forward → adjust the position again → add another keyframe
- Don’t put the keyframes too close or too farther apart
- Play through to check it out → adjust the position and number of keyframes if any issues arise
The whole process is relatively easy, although tedious. But the process becomes very complicated when you have more dynamic motion in your clip
3. After Effects
Pricing: 7-day trial, $20.99/month (individual)
Operating System: Windows & Mac
Adobe After Effects is an editor that focuses on animation & creative composition. This app has been developed as a companion to Premiere Pro for creating short & flashy motion graphics and visual effects for projects.
Motion tracking in After Effects can be done using the Point Tracker, which has one-point and up to four-point tracking. Other tracking options include the built-in 3D Camera Tracker that lets you reverse engineer a scene and the spline tracker that enables you to track masks on an object. There is also Mocha AE, a planar tracker from BorisFX. The Point Tracker is the most flexible and versatile in After Effects. We’ll use it to pin text to video.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In After Effects? [Main Steps]
- Create a new composition/open an old one and make sure your clip is imported
- Create a null object by right-clicking on the window (screenshot below)
- Select your clip → click on tracker → click on track motion
- Two square boxes will appear
- Move the squares to the point you want to track (make sure to select an object with relatively high contrast for easier tracking)
- Position the smaller square on the object you want to track
- Make the second box is big enough (not too big) so that the tracked object stays within this square in the next frame
- Click on the analyze forward button (screenshot above)
- If the square box fails to track the object at any frame, reposition it and move on
- Make sure motion target is set to null object (e.g., Null 1)
- Now add the text
- While clicking on the pick whip tool of the text layer, drag it to the null object
- Play through to check the result
- You can manually change the position of the text in any frame by adjusting its position and adding a keyframe
We’re done. As we stated above, other types of trackers are also available for you to experiment with. The overall tracking functionality is much better than Premiere Pro.
4. Sony Vegas Pro
Pricing: 30-day trial, minimum $19.99/month
Operating System: Windows
Sony Vegas Pro is a non-linear video editor with the so-called “power of Artificial Intelligence.” It is one of the few editors out there that has acquired popularity among professionals and amateurs alike.
Text motion tracking in Vegas Pro is done using Bézier Masking FX (new update introduces a separate tab for motion tracking). The tracking process is automatic. Keyframes are created automatically frame by frame. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done in most cases. When it fails to track objects correctly, you can manually edit the keyframes.
How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Sony Vegas Pro? [Main Steps]
- Import your video
- Click on your video → go to the starting point of text motion tracking
- Click on Bézier Masking → drag the default one to your video
- A new options tab will appear & a square box with a circle (tracking box) will appear in the preview window
- Go to General options → set blend to 1,000
- Go to Mask 1 → Tracking → options → set the precision to high → set keyframe interval between 1 & 5
- Position the black dot of the tracking box to the point you want to track
- Click on start below the keyframe interval option
- After processing is complete → go to tools → extensions → add text to motion track → click on ok in the text position tab
- Enter your text, edit it if you want
- Play through to check the result

All of them do a reasonably good job when it comes to pinning text to video. Professionals would be more satisfied with the added versatility and control in After Effects.
