Reversing Frame Order in a Clip

You can reverse the order of frames in a clip.

To reverse the order of frames in a clip:

1. Click Reverse in the Editing menu.

   (a) Soft Reverse button(b) Progressive/Interlaced box(c) Interpolation box

2. If you want to save space on your framestore and only process later, enable Soft Reverse.
3. Select Progressive or Interlaced render from the Progressive/Interlaced box.
4. If you selected Interlaced, set the interpolation.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   No Interpolation | Create a clip with no field interpolation.
   Half Interpolation | Create a clip in which interpolation only takes place on displaced fields.
   Full Interpolation | Create a clip in which all fields are interpolated. Note that this option has the least aliasing, but you may notice some softening of the image due to the blending of the fields.
   Shift Up | Shift the image up a single line. This may help reduce artefacts that can appear.
   Shift Down | Shift the image down a single line. This may help reduce artefacts that can appear.

5. Select the source clip.
6. Select the destination reel.

   A new clip in which the order of frames is reversed appears on the destination reel.

   Action: Select the source clip (frame 3 in example)

   Result: The order of the frames is reversed
