      The Hold cursor appears as you create the hold.

    • In the Channel Box or Attribute Editor, enter values for the Pre Hold or Post Hold attributes. For example, to create a hold for 3 frames before the camera shot starts, enter 3 as the Pre Hold value.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click the number beside the H on the held part of the camera shot and enter a new value for the number of frames you want the shot held.
