A freeze-frame is a technique whereby editors can suddenly halt motion in a film to make it look like a photograph. Then the still shot in the movie is usually used to create suspense or add emphasis to a scene. When freeze-frame gets added at the film’s end, it leaves the viewer guessing what will happen next.
Freezing or extending a frame will allow users to pace their video better. More importantly, freeze-frame applies on a per track basis, which helps buy users more time for a voiceover or an annotation. This article will teach you how to freeze-frame in Camtasia perfectly.

How to Add a Lower Third to Your Video
Want to bump up the quality and level of your videos? Adding a lower third is one of the easiest ways to impress your audience and improve the quality of your videos. It makes it look like you spent a ton of money on video editing, but in reality, it’s really easy to do.
When you first start video editing, it may seem like a daunting task with so much to learn. The good news is you can cut that learning curve down significantly by using intuitive editing software like Wondershare’s Filmora. Clear and streamlined, Filmora is the choice of many filmmakers.
Until recently, you needed expensive enterprise level software like Sony Vegas or Final Cut Pro to create lower thirds, especially lower thirds with movement. But Filmora makes it easier than ever.
- Use Readable Font
- Don’t Make It Too Long
- Use Branding
- Use Templates
- Keep It Simple
- Emphasize With Your Lower Third
- Step By Step To Explain Filmora
1. What is a Lower Third?
What is a Lower Third
A lower third is text and/or a graphical element put on top of your video for the purpose of sharing information with your audience.
A lower third provides important information but is done without distracting from the actual video content.
Take a look at the shot below. The lower third is used to convey the speaker’s name and profession. This is a type of lower third often used in documentary films and newscasts.
2. Why Add A Lower Third
So the next question a new filmmaker might ask is, “Why add a lower third?”
Funnily enough, despite its name, a lower third does not have to be in the lower third of the video but can be found in other areas of the screen.
In the shot below, the viewer automatically knows he is looking at the rooftops of Alfama, a neighborhood in Lisbon, without someone having to say it - no distractions from the video content.
Why Add A Lower Third
Lower thirds can also create movement. Many lower thirds come gliding onto the screen and add visual interest to a plain shot.
As simple as it may sound, seeing an overlay on a screen or a moving lower third adds professionalism to even the simplest videos. It gives the audience a sense of polish and high perceived value.
Tips: A lower third lasts approximately 3-6 seconds and is placed in the “title safe area” of your video. A quick explanation of the “title safe area” is that if the video is cropped to fit certain resolutions, your lower third will still appear without the fear of it being cropped out and losing pertinent information for the audience.
3. 6 Quick Tips to Add A Lower Third
As simple as putting in a lower third sounds, here are 6 quick tips to ensure a lower third is effective and conveys the right message.
Wondershare Filmora Video Editor comes equipped with pre-built video-based lower thirds in a ton of unique styles and colors. The cool thing is that you can customize the text easily and quickly, including changing the text color and font style – so you can match your style perfectly.
Tip #1
Use Readable Font
Part of communicating information without distraction is to make sure the font used in the lower third is readable. A lower third only graces the screen for 3-6 seconds, so you want it to be short and easy to read at a glance.
Tip #2
Don’t Make It Too Long
There is a limited amount of space to use. If you need to communicate more information, consider using a title slide instead which will give you more space to communicate your ideas. Less is more when it comes to lower thirds.
Tip #3
Use Branding
A lower third is another way to have people remember and recognize your brand. If you have your own branding colors and logo, use it in your lower third.
Tip #4
Use Templates
Pick one style and stick with it. Consistency in video editing helps communicate trust to your audience. It’s fun to use different styles sometimes, but it can be disjointed. With Filmora you can add elements like lower thirds and title to your favorites – so they are easy to use on your different video projects.
Tip #5
Keep It Simple
Remember the purpose of your lower third - to convey information without being distracting. Don’t use a lot of text. Brevity is the key. Usually, lower thirds are used to detail a name, profession or a location. The most you want is 2 lines of text. Sometimes you may want to use just one line.
Tip #6
Emphasize With Your Lower Third
Often, I might use a lower third to emphasize a certain point, or to use different wording (than I used in my video) if I think it makes the point clearer. This can be helpful if you make a small mistake in your original video and it makes more sense than adding b-roll over the video.
4. Step By Step To Explain Filmora
Using Wondershare Filmora Video Editor it is extremely easy to create a lower third for your video.

Easy Guide to Zoom Video in VLC
Even though VLC Media Player is not the default video player in any operating system, most users install VLC Player separately on their computers. This is because VLC Media Player offers several useful and advanced features that the default media player like Windows Media Player lacks. There are situations when users need to zoom into certain parts of a video, and that is where VLC zoom in video feature comes in handy.
You may need to zoom into videos to pay attention to details and focus on parts around the subject that others are missing out. For example, you have recorded a video, and you have played it on VLC to zoom in and ensure that there is nothing distracting before you publish the video. Now, we will illustrate all the different ways on how to zoom in VLC Media Player. We will also suggest a better alternative to zoom into videos easily.
Part 1: Zoom VLC Video Using Interactive Zoom
VLC Media Player comes with Interactive Zoom feature that lets you zoom into a section of a video irrespective of its resolution. You can use Interactive Zoom feature to zoom nearly eight times the original size of the video. While you zoom your video with Interactive Zoom option, VLC Media Player zooms the video digitally, and if the video resolution is not high, you can see some deterioration in video quality as you zoom in. Here are the steps on how to VLC zoom with Interactive Zoom.
Step1First, you have to enable Interactive Zoom feature. Launch VLC Player and go to Tools menu option.
Step2Select Effects and Filters and you will see Adjustments and Effects window open.
Step3Go to Video Effects tab and then go to Geometry tab.
Step4Turn on Interactive Zoom option. Click on Save and Close buttons.
Step5Play a video and you will see a Picture in Picture window in the top-left corner where you can see live preview of the video. You will notice a rectangular box that you can drag around the PiP window to zoom that section of the video.
Step6Wherever you place the rectangular box in PiP window, that part will be zoomed and shown outside the PiP window. You can increase or decrease the level of magnification from the vertical slider present below PiP window.
Part 2: Zoom Video Using VLC Video Menu
Apart from Interactive Zoom, there is also an inbuilt Zoom option available under Video Menu. While Interactive Zoom is for detailed zooming, Zoom through Video menu on VLC is for instant zooming. Moreover, Zoom through Video menu is effective only when you view the video on VLC Player. If you are watching the video on full screen, the zooming effect will not be easily noticeable. Here are the steps on how to zoom in VLC player using VLC Video menu.
Step1Open VLC Media player in windowed mode and play the desired video.
Step2Go to Video menu and select Zoom option.
Step3You will come across several options such as 1:4 quarter, 1:2 half, 1:1 original, and 2:1 double. You can select from one of them as per your requirements.
Otherwise, you can press Shift + Z keys together to try out different zoom options.
Part 3: Zoom VLC Video Using Magnifier
If you are using VLC Media Player on your Windows desktop computer, you can use the inbuilt Magnifier tool to zoom into a video that you are playing on VLC. You can zoom into videos to read any text in the background but this leads to low resolution and distortion. You can zoom in by 16 times which is the highest among all the three methods. Here are the steps on how to VLC zoom video using Magnifier tool.
Step1Open VLC Player and play the desired video.
Step2Go to Start menu on Windows and search for “Magnifier”.
Step3Click on Magnifier App. Once it opens, place the mouse pointer on the video and you will see its magnified version.
Step4Press Windows and “+” keys to zoom in while press Windows and “-“ keys to zoom out.
Part 4: VLC Alternative to Zoom in Videos
If you are not satisfied with VLC Player zoom feature, you can use a video editor to zoom into your video conveniently so that you can check any focused section on your video. You can also read any text on the video comfortably. We recommend Wondershare Filmora as an alternative to VLC Media Player for zooming into videos. Filmora is a professional video editor and here is the list of the steps on how to zoom into videos with Filmora.
Step 1: Download and install Wondershare Filmora and it is available for Windows and Mac users.
Free Download For Win 7 or later(64-bit)
Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later
Step 2: Launch Wondershare and click on New Project option.
Step 3: Import your video on Filmora into Project Media folder by drag and drop option.
Step 4: Drag and drop the video file into Timeline. Click on Crop icon on the top bar of Timeline.
Step 5: Go to Pan & Zoom tab and move the rectangular box and play the video to watch its magnified video. You can also export the video after cropping in your desired file format.
Conclusion
There are several scenarios when you need to zoom into a video to focus on the details. VLC Media Player comes with instant zoom as well as detailed zoom options to satisfy your requirements. You can even use Magnifier App on Windows to zoom into videos. But for the best result, we recommend Wondershare Filmora as the best VLC Player alternative for zooming videos.
Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later

Step 3: Import your video on Filmora into Project Media folder by drag and drop option.
