About Reverse Video — Free Online Tool
Reverse Video plays a clip backwards, last frame first, and reverses the audio along with it when there is any.
Reversing is the one operation here that cannot be streamed: ffmpeg has to hold every decoded frame in memory before it can write the last one out first. That is why this tool refuses anything longer than 30 seconds and tells you to trim it first — the limit is not a policy, it is the point at which a browser tab runs out of memory and the job dies without producing a file. The practical consequence is that a long clip has to be cut down to the piece you actually want reversed before it comes to this page.
The whole reversal takes place in browser memory, and the engine's scratch files are cleared when the run ends. Nothing is uploaded at any point.
Making a boomerang-style loop, building a rewind effect for an edit, reversing a trick shot so it looks like it assembled itself, and seeing what a motion looks like played back to front.
