Reverse the whole video or just one part. The sound can play backwards too, or be removed. The video never leaves your device. It is read and saved by your browser, so there is no upload, no queue and no copy on a server.
Reversing is the trick behind splashes jumping back into the glass and people walking backwards. It also helps you spot exactly how something happened.
How to reverse a video
- Drop your video on the box above.
- Set a start and end to reverse just part of it, or leave the times empty for the whole clip.
- Choose whether the sound plays backwards or is removed.
- Press Reverse video and download it.
Why reversing takes a moment
Videos are stored so they can be played forward: most frames are described as changes from the one before. To play backwards, the tool decodes a second of video at a time, keeps those frames in memory, then writes them out in reverse order.
