saving quicktime movies in reverse

[macOSX-tastic]

hi guys,

anybody know a way to save home quicktime movies in reverse? i am currently using quicktime 7 pro and cannot find a way to do this using iMovie. im helping a mate wtih his coursework, and of course, he doesnt have a mac, and wants me to save files backwards and then transfer them back to his windows PC.

any input much appreciated

Reverse as in... the ending becomes the beginning and vice versa?

You should be able to ... select the clip in iMovie, click "effects", there should be a "Fast/slow/reverse" effect.

thanks, i guess i missed it.

sound seems to have dissapeared though when i import any movie......can you think of reasons why?

Before you've reversed it?

Purely out of curiosity, why would you want to reverse movies?

When iMovie reverses the clip, it often introduces sound artefacts because of the way it reverses the sound (by chopping it into very short sound clips and reversing the sequence of those). I haven't bothered finding a solution for that, but it might involve extracting the audio track and reversing it using another app.

Good luck.
Let us know how you get on.
