Making a clip play backwards?

Postby kirara_595 » Tue Jun 20, 2006 11:49 pm

Is there any free video editing program out there that will allow me to make clips play backwards?
I relised that windows movie maker doesn't do that when I got to the part of the amv that needed a backwards clip.

Yes, I'm still working on movie maker, I'm poor. :cry:
To anyone that helps, Thank you a bunch!

I'm pretty sure that AVS has an easy way to do this.

Most more advanced editing programs can do this trivially.

Umm....
Ok. I looked at all these different guids and stuff and I've spent awhile trying to figure it out, I've even had my friend try to help.
But I was unable to get the clip to play backwards with AVS.

Is there any other program that might help me with this?
I'd prefer to stay away from code...but I'm willing to try anything.

Okay, here's the way I'd do it.

Got VirtualDubMod? Go to the Open File dialog, but in the drop-box in the bottom-left, select DirectShowSource (or AVISynth Source if it's an AVI file, doesn't really matter 'cause either would work), then open the clip you want to play backwards. Once it's loaded, close VirtualDubMod.

You'll notice that there'll be a .avs file with the same name as your clip now. Open that in notepad and add the line listed above, "Reverse()"

Now open that script in VirtualDubMod. It'll be the clip, played backwards. All that's left is to encode it however you want (recommend h264 for ease) and save as like, "Clip1Reversed.avi."

Hopefully that helps some.
