The script has only two buttons: a Freeze/Unfreeze button with which the out-of-range type can be set to "work statically". Beside it is the Frame Spinner button, which is useful in the LookDev phase for setting the simulation frame. Another tool required for the FumeFX FreezeFrame script is Fume FX.
