That feature is called TrickPlay
Dashboard > Playback > TrickPlay
Note that generation takes a very long time. I recommend enabling “only generate from keyframes” since it can greatly increase generation speed.

Thanks!
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are keyframes, and how/why are they different from regular frames
