With the development of short videos, more people are willing to shoot and share their ideas on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. When making a video, some may prefer to add stunning effects, say, the reverse effect.
So, what does a reverse video look like? And even more, how to reverse a video? These are what we are going to talk about today.
What is Reverse Video?
Do you know what the reverse video is? Generally speaking, reversing video is a special playback method that can play the video backward. First, a video is usually played frame by frame from the first footage. The video reverse effect, on the other hand, will play the video from the last frame to the first frame. Many famous movies, such as Tenet, have used the reverse video effect to create fun scenes.
But sometimes, it may refer to a display method that can invert the background/text color of the video, just like a negative film.
Now, you should understand what reverse video is. The next question is: Can we make a reverse video by ourselves? The answer is yes, and all you need is a powerful video reverse editor like Aiseesoft Video Converter.
