If you trim a rendered freeze frame effect, what must you do next?

When you trim a rendered freeze frame effect in AVID Media Composer, the next step is to render it again. This is necessary because trimming affects the duration or position of the freeze frame segment, which alters how the effect is applied within the timeline.

Rendering is the process where your changes are processed and converted into a visual output that can be played smoothly. Since the original freeze frame effect was already rendered before the trim, the timeline needs to be updated to reflect those adjustments, ensuring that the playback reflects the newly trimmed timeframe correctly.

This requirement for re-rendering is specific to effects that have already been processed. It ensures that any changes you make result in an accurate representation of the video when played back, maintaining the integrity of the edit. Therefore, after trimming a rendered freeze frame effect, a new render is essential to view the modified effect properly.
