Frequently Asked Questions

Reverse video playback means the video plays from end to beginning, creating a backwards effect. This technique is popular for creative videos, revealing magic tricks, analyzing sports movements, and creating surreal visual effects. The frames are reordered so the last frame becomes first.

You can choose to reverse audio along with video (creating backwards speech and sound effects), keep audio playing forward (maintaining original sound while video plays backwards), or remove audio entirely. Reversed audio creates interesting effects but may be difficult to understand.

Reversed videos are used for creative effects in social media content, revealing how magic tricks or illusions work, analyzing athlete movements and technique, creating comedic backwards running or talking effects, and artistic projects requiring surreal or time-manipulation visuals.

Reversing video requires loading the entire video into memory and reordering every frame in reverse sequence. This is computationally intensive since all frames must be decoded, reversed, and re-encoded. Longer videos and higher resolutions significantly increase processing time and memory usage.

For best performance, keep videos under 60 seconds and 1080p resolution. Videos longer than 2-3 minutes may cause browser slowdowns or memory issues depending on your device. Consider trimming longer videos to the specific section you want to reverse before processing.

This tool reverses the entire uploaded video. To reverse only a specific section, first use a video trimmer to extract the desired portion, then reverse that trimmed clip. This approach also reduces processing time and memory requirements.

The video is re-encoded using H.264 codec with high quality settings. There may be minor quality loss during the encoding process, but the reversed video maintains the original resolution and frame rate. File size may vary depending on the complexity of the reversed content.

The tool accepts most common video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and MKV. Output is always in MP4 format with H.264 video codec for maximum compatibility across devices, platforms, and social media sites.

Absolutely. All video processing happens locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and allows the tool to work offline once loaded.

Currently, the tool processes one video at a time to ensure optimal performance and prevent browser memory issues. Processing videos sequentially gives each video full access to system resources for the best quality output and faster completion.
