Pretty cool huh? Alright, let's get into it. Start the timer. While you're filming, make sure you have a steady shot with no camera shakes. Also, avoid shooting against a busy background or one that has a similar color to your subject. Make the background of your shot contrast with your subject. For the best result, use a bright background with a darker subject.

n Filmora9, drag your clip to the timeline and match the project settings to the media. Now, let's scrub through and find a good frame to freeze... there. Let's take a snapshot. Just click the camera icon under the preview window. Make sure you don't move the player after you've taken the snapshot. Find your snapshot in the media library and drag it onto the layer above your clip.

Make sure it's placed exactly where you took it from where the playhead then extends the length to match the clip. We have to do this a couple more times. To see the full clip, we'll have to hide the first freeze frame by clicking this eye icon.

Now, we'll find a new frame and repeat the whole process. After you've taken and placed all the snapshots you want, click the eye icons again to make them visible. Now double-click on the first snapshot so its properties show up Find the compositing section, then change the blend mode to "darken". Repeat this for each still All done.
