Great tutorial. As a total blender noob, I can’t wait for more, esp. if you get into compositing, rotoscoping, and other post-prod. techniques.

Thanks!

@Mackraken:

Actually it does. And it is far more painless than rendering things backwards.

Use the the “Speed Control” effect Richard has already pointed everyone at.

reverse video in blender. v249.2
it doesnt work using scenes directly.
If u want to reverse a scene make a render first
import the render like a movie
Go to Scene Menu(F10)
Click on Sequencer button
Under “Filter Panel” click “Flip Time”

A hit? I don’t know about that.

And I’m looking for those screencasts too.. they must be lying around here somewhere! Don’t worry, Blender isn’t off my radar. I just have to find the time to get organized about it. I still think they’ll be valuable. For me, if not for others.

Btw - killer rock star photos. I’d like to know how you got the vertical sheen.. was it just using motion blurs or some other method? I’ve tried that effect on some of my stuff but was never quite satisfied I was doing it the best way.

Well I’d say judging from the comments here Richard that you have a hit on your hands.

Where are those screencasts? Lol.

Here’s to the future of Blender…

@safwan

1. I have some problems like that on my work machine (which is on XP). You should register at blenderartists.org and ask the question there. They are MUCH more knowledgable than me. It’s been a great source of help for me over there.

2. To reverse an entire clip, right-click the clip, go to the scene panel (F10) at the bottom and select the sequence buttons. On the filter panel you should see a “Flip Time” button. This should reverse that clip.

3. You can do slow motion and I think fast motion and reverse using the ipo curves. I haven’t done too much of that, but try this for starters: Right-click the clip, hit shift-A to bring up the menu and add a ‘speed control’ to the clip and place that on the time line. Then, when the speed control is selected, go to the sequencer buttons again and make sure ‘ipo is velocity’ is checked. Then create an ipo curve to do the slomo. Be careful with this because I’m still not sure about how it treats the clip on the timeline relative to other clips. There is also a way to reverse things too this way. I haven’t done sped-up video this way, but I think you might have to select the ‘ipo value runs from..’ button to do this. I’ll have to play with this to be any more help. Sorry.

Let me know how you make out.

2. How do i reverse a video? For example a video of a man walking forward, how do i reverse it in blender?

3. How do i speed up or slow down (slow-motion) a video clip?
