I've been trying to get the hang of this for the better part of a decade. I've never sorted it out. Something I'm doing is always off. Your instruction is very clear and well paced, but still, no luck for me.
I go into a layout that has several viewports on it.
I click on the viewport that contains a layer I want to freeze. (obviously I'm in paper space at this point)
I go to the command line and type in VPLAYER.
Here's where the problem begins. Unlike your drawing, after I hit Enter, the viewport I had highlighted is no longer selected. On your video, your viewport is clearly still highlighted.
What am I doing wrong?
When I proceed with your instruction here's what happens.
I hit enter
It asks VPLAYER Select objects:
I click on an object and it says,
Specify opposite corner.
Huh?
Then I'm basically stuck.
It's mind boggling how silly this is.
How about click on a viewport to activate it
Click the snowflake to "charge" your cursor
click on objects to make them disappear within this activated viewport.
That's how adobe would do it.
:-(

[@kyleg4d]

Try this:
from paper view, double click the viewport you want to freeze a layer on
VPLAYER
ENTER
FREEZE
ENTER (BY OBJECT SELECTION)
SELECT YOUR OBJECT
ENTER
SELECT WHICH VIEWPORT YOU WANT TO FREEZE LAYER ON (SHOULD BE "CURRENT" UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO ON MULTIPLE VPORTS)
ENTER

how to freeze layers that are in xref?

[@ea6051]

very helpful!

[@BudCorbitt875]

Why would a layer's plot choice be grayed out to where you can't select it turn plotting on or off for that layer?

[@bigiron5508]

If you change a color or line type in a viewport does it change it in the model space? Thanks, love your videos...

[@yanding8001]

What to do when the VP freeze column is missing? Right-click is not in the list also. Reset is not bring it back either. What to do? Thanks!

[@brucesmith8447]

Right Click on the column headers of the Layer Properties Manager. You can toggle columns on or off there.

[@syawaalmuhammad6336]

Can you do a video on how to make a prism

[@Entertainment-Jeddah]

Helo sir can you help me i received one file in model drawing is vertical but when i go in layout drawing is in horizontal please tell me or make a video on this how we can make this??

[@KusKanat]

I believe all you need is to unlock VP (if locked) & rotate View Cube in the top left corner as you want
