Playing a clip backwards
 

I want to reverse the direction of a clip on the time line so it will play in the reverse of how it was shot.

I cannot find the info I need in the help file.

How do I do it? I am using PP 2.0 Pro.

Thank you,
Bill

In Premiere Pro you right click on the clip in the timeline, select 'Speed/Duration', and check the 'Reverse Speed' button. If you leave the speed at 100% the clip will play in reverse at 100%. If you want slower or faster playback you can change the speed.

Lloyd,

Thank you, I saw that and wondered, but had not tried it.

Strangely enough the old technique of placing a minus sign in front of the selected speed works just as well.

I had to call a Director I am working with on Sunday, (he edits with Final Cut Pro and Avid) that is what he suggested I try.

As you might have guessed I am not an Editor, but a DP and every now and then a friend will ask "can you do this for me." :-)

Thank you for all the tips and help!!

Bill
