Slow down playback (0.25x - 0.5x) to analyze fast motion or complex animation timing.
Scrub the timeline frame-by-frame to find the perfect reference pose for drawing or modeling.
Open multiple Video Frames from the same video at different timestamps to compare motion across different moments.
Mute audio when you have multiple Video Frames playing and want to focus on visual reference only.
