Hi everyone! It’s Chloe from Wondershare Filmora here to empower your inner video creator. Have you ever thought of the moment and wish you had super power to control time. Just like when you missed the bus.

Today, I’m going to show you how to freeze time using Masking and Speed Ramping in Filmora 11. First, let’s get the clips we need for editing.

How to STOP THE TIME!

Preparation

What you need to prepare:

  • A computer (Windows or macOS)
  • Your video materials.
  • Filmora video editor
Step 1
Download Filmora

Visit the Wondershare Filmora home page or click on the link in the description to download it. When you are done, first import the empty background clip that you recorded and then place the subject clip on the top of the background clip.

Step 2
Add a Mask

Hide the first video track and double click on the subject clip. Add a mask by opening the video settings on the top and going to the “Mask” panel. Select a single-line mask to apply it over the track.

Step 3
Change the Blur Strength

Adjust the angle and scale until only the subject is visible. Scroll down the Mask section and change the blur strength to create more blur on the edge of the mask.

Step 4
Unhide the Track

Unhide the track now and it’s time to add speed effect on the empty background clip. Double click on the clip and on the Settings window at the top, navigate to the “Speed” Menu and select the Speed Ramping Section. Click on the customize button.

Step 5
Adjust the Keyframes

Adjust the keyframes to the gesture markings acted out in the video clip. Like, where you snap the finger to stop the time. Move the playhaead there and when you find that spot, there is a snow icon in the Customize window. Tap on it and add a freeze time, for example 5 seconds.

Step 6
Move the Playhead

Move the playhead where you are speeding up the traffic and trim the freeze time from there. Delete all the preset keyframes in the middle of the customize settings to get the enhanced output.

Step 7
Set the Speed Faster

Now, move the playhead again where you speed up the traffic. Adjust the keyframe now with the same button and set the speed faster like 10 times faster.

Step 8
Adjust the Keyframe to Normal Speed

Repeat this to the gesture where you normalize the traffic and adjust the keyframe to keep the speed 10 times faster. Move the playhead to a bit more right and adjust the keyframe to normal speed. And you are good to go. You can preview the video now.

Bonus
Filmstock Effects

To take the video to another level, you can play with Filmstock Effects. Go to the “Elements” menu and choose special effect you want. (e.g., Electricity 19)
