Hi again. Ok. Do you really want to pause it or just let it run with the effect over the top for a second or two? Remember, if you pause it, your sound will pause too unless you can pinch a piece of sound that fits from elsewhere.

If you do want to pause it, use the 'save snapshot to file' facility, capture the frame you want, split the vid at that point, move it up a little and then place the still in the gap on the timeline for as long as you want it there. When you capture the frame, remember to cap it at full, best quality. The tool for doing this is the disc icon farthest right in the video preview pane.

Another alternative is to let the vid run, and use keyframes to move the effect around with the person as he/she moves, fading the effect in and out at the time you want.
