    Getting a good result

    What looks good backwards

    Things that fall, pour, break or scatter: water returning to a glass, a jump landing back on a wall, pages un-tearing. Movement with an obvious direction is what makes a reversed clip read as reversed.

    Forward then back

    For a loop with no jump, join the original and its reverse with the video joiner. The clip plays out and rewinds, and the end matches the start.

    Limits

    Reversing means decoding the clip in the opposite order to the way video is stored, which is heavy work. Clips can be up to 60 seconds, and the result is at most 1,280 pixels wide.

    00:40Questions

    Reverse video: common questions

    Why is there a 60-second limit?

    Video stores each frame as a change from the one before. Playing it backwards means rebuilding every frame first, which takes far more memory than any other edit.

    Is the sound reversed too?

    If you choose that. Otherwise it is removed.

    Can I reverse only part of a video?

    Trim that part first, reverse it, then join it back.
