PinnedFrames

PinnedFrames is a term used in video playback and editing to describe a specific technique for managing frames. When a video frame is "pinned," it means that a particular frame is held static on the screen for a predetermined duration or until a specific condition is met. This is distinct from simply pausing a video, which typically halts all playback progress. Instead, pinning a frame allows the playback head to advance while the visual content remains frozen.

This technique can be employed for various purposes. In video editing, pinning a frame might be used to highlight a crucial detail, allow for close examination of a specific moment, or create a brief visual emphasis before transitioning to another scene. For instance, in tutorials or demonstrations, a key step might be pinned to ensure viewers fully understand the action. In real-time video streaming or conferencing, pinning a frame could be used to keep a speaker's face visible even if they are momentarily out of frame or if the camera has to adjust. The duration of the pinned frame is usually adjustable, offering flexibility in how it is utilized. The concept is fundamentally about decoupling the visual display from the playback timeline for a controlled period.
