Freezing keyframes

Get interesting cuts between camera positions

You don’t always need to animate between keyframes. Sometimes you just want to make a hard cut between two angles. That’s what keyframe freezing is all about. Let’s see how we can create a jump or rough cut between two keyframes by disabling animation on specific keyframes.
