# Make a freeze-frame intro with a name and an outline

> Stop on the frame you want. The picture holds, the room turns grey, the person gets a white outline and their name lands behind them. Then the video carries on.

Freeze a frame of your video, turn the background black-and-white, outline the person and put their name behind them: the “yep, that’s me” intro, in one click.

## How it works

1. **Drop in your video** — Then move the playhead to the frame you want to freeze.
2. **Open AI tools → Freeze-frame intro** — The frame holds for two and a half seconds with the outline and the name.
3. **Type the name** — Change the name, the line under it and the colours. Drag the still’s edge to hold it longer.

## Why CutLuma for this

- **One click** — The freeze, the grey background, the outline and both texts are added together.
- **Everything stays editable** — It is a still, two texts and an effect. Move them, restyle them, delete what you do not need.
- **Also as a template** — The “Freeze-frame intro” template has the same look ready for a clip you drop in.

## FAQ

**Is it free?**

Yes, it is part of the free editor.

**Can I use it for more than one person in a video?**

Yes. Move the playhead to the next person and run it again.

**Can I freeze without the outline?**

Yes. “Freeze frame” under Magic tools just holds the picture.
