Filmora 13: Simple 9 Steps to Play a Video Clip in Reverse

Step 1: Install  Wondershare Filmora 13 and Open

• First, ensure you have Filmora 13 installed on your computer. If not, download it from the official Filmora website and follow the installation instructions.
• Once installed, open Filmora. You’ll see the main dashboard with an easy-to-navigate interface.

Step 2: Import Your Video Clip to Filmora 13

• Click on the “Import” button in the Media Library section to load your video into Filmora.
• Browse through your files to locate the video you want to reverse. Select it and click “Open”.
• After importing, your clip will appear in the Media Library.

Step 3: Drag and Drop the Clip to the Timeline

• From the Media Library, drag and drop the video clip onto the Timeline at the bottom of the screen.
• The Timeline is where you can edit your video, add effects, adjust speed, and, of course, reverse your clip.

Step 4: Select the Video Clip

• Click on the video clip on the Timeline to select it. This will activate editing options for the clip.

Step 5: Access the Speed Control Options

• With the clip selected, look at the toolbar above the Timeline. Locate the “Speed” icon (often represented by a speedometer symbol).
• Click on the Speed icon to open a dropdown menu with various speed control options.

Step 6: Enable Reverse Playback

• In the Speed control options, you should see an option labeled “Reverse” (often a checkbox).
• Check the “Reverse” box. This will automatically apply the reverse effect to your selected clip, causing the video to play backward.
• Once the reverse effect is applied, you can preview the reversed playback in the preview window on the right side of the interface.

Step 7: Fine-tune Playback (Optional)

• If you want to adjust the speed of your reversed video, use the “Custom Speed” option in the Speed control settings.
• Adjusting the speed can help you create slow-motion or fast-motion effects while the video plays in reverse, adding even more dramatic flair.

Step 8: Preview Your Video

• After reversing the clip, click on the Play button in the preview window to watch your edited video in action.
• Make sure it looks and feels right. You can adjust and re-reverse if needed.

Step 9: Export Your Reversed Video

• When satisfied with the result, click on the “Export” button at the top of the interface.
• Choose your preferred format, resolution, and other export settings.
• Click “Export” again to render and save the final video to your chosen location.
