To create a freeze frame after loading in the Source Monitor, which menu path should you use?

• A. Clip > Freeze Frame
• B. Composer > Freeze Frame
• C. Tools > Freeze Frame
• D. Timeline > Freeze Frame

Answer: (B)

In the Source Monitor, the Freeze Frame command is accessed from the Composer window’s menu because that window is where you’re viewing the source frame. Selecting Freeze Frame there captures the exact frame you’re looking at and creates a still image clip you can insert or edit further. Other menus live in different contexts (Clip for bin-level actions, Timeline for timeline edits, Tools for auxiliary tools), so they don’t directly apply to the frame you’re viewing in the Source Monitor. Hence, Composer > Freeze Frame is the correct path.
