Which Filter does Reverse Video?

RickMenHome · Post by **RickMenHome** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 8:46 am

I recall reading on this forum about a filter where the clip plays to about x% then it reverse plays the clip back to y% then continues to play the clip from y% to the end, but now that I want to use that effect I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm on VS X2 Pro.

Hi

I am not sure that a video filter is available for this effect ¡Vmaybe X2 has--but:-

Video studio 10 has a reverse video button located left of the video properties tab..
Checking this will play the clip backwards.

You would of course have to cut the clip in the correct places and probably add the clips twice.

Does FXBench have that capability?

I have gone through all the FX Bench filters and cannot find it.

Hi

I don¡¦t have X2.

Are you saying that X2 does not have the reverse video option, and a third party option has to be used.

X2 can reverse video, but I don't see the filter he is referring to. Must be third party.

Never heard of such a filter but the effect is in fact very easy to do.

Step1. Cut your video where you want the effect to start.
Step2. Cut your video where you want the effect to end.

This produces a clip which to make things easy we will call "F" (Forward)
Step 3. Drag F up to the library.
Step 4. Drag F back to the time line and do this until you have at least 3 copies of F on the timeline.
Step 5. Apply Reverse Video to every SECOND occurrence of F.
We will now rename any occurrence of F where Reverse Video has been applied to become B (backward)

With 3 clip your timeline will now look like this:
F B F
With 5 clips your timeline looks like this:
F B F B F

and so on.

Is this what you are wanting to do, if so I will post my workflow. Only takes about 5 min and it is not as if you are going to use it on every project so it's probably quicker to do it this way than search for a filter which would probably take 5 mins to edit the "Customise filter"

Sorry about that. I had posted before Steves post came up on my screen! I think we crossed

Cut your video where you want it to start reversing, then cut it after, and select the middle clip, and click the button above.

Thanks all.

I must have been dreaming about the filter! LOL
