<Freeze>

Available from v2.2.0.

When using the <Freeze/> component, all of it's children will freeze to the frame that you specify as a prop.

If a component is a child of <Freeze/>, calling the useCurrentFrame() hook will always return the frame number you specify, irrespective of any <Sequence>.

<Video /> and <OffthreadVideo /> elements will be paused and <Audio /> elements will render muted.

Example​

MyComp.tsx
tsx
import { Freeze } from "remotion";
 
const MyVideo = () => {
  return (
    <Freeze frame={30}>
      <BlueSquare />
    </Freeze>
  );
};
MyComp.tsx
tsx
import { Freeze } from "remotion";
 
const MyVideo = () => {
  return (
    <Freeze frame={30}>
      <BlueSquare />
    </Freeze>
  );
};
