Reversing video

[XDelusion]

What program can I use to take video clips and save them so that they play backwards, or at slower speeds and the like?

I'm using Multiquence, but it does not seem to have these features?

What format are your clips in? Do you need to keep them in that format?

Also, do you need to reverse and slow audio too?

[XDelusion]

The video format can be any, and yes I need to reverse (and save) plus slow down video.

Check out tools like Avid Free DV (free) to Premiere Pro (expensive) in the "Advanced Video Editors" category in the "Tools" section. These are primarily designed to work with DV AVI at a minimum, some will work with uncompressed AVI or AVI using the loss-less huffyuv codec.

If the video uses anything else - Divx, Xvid, MPG, MOV, RM etc. - then I think you'll be lucky to find something that will do what you want with these formats, and you'll probably need to encode to a workable AVI format.

Thankx, I'll have a look at these programs!

Avisynth will do all that and more. You'll have to learn the propper scripts, but there's plenty out there to do just that. Do a search.

You also might wanna check your soure for possibility of IVTC to 24 fps.
Then, from that point, do your reversing around inside this frame
rate.

And AVIsynth script can do this, if memory serves me.. with the reverse()
function. The simplest and straight-way of doing it is here:

 # assuming your source is segmented like this:
 # vid.01.avi  vid.02.avi  vid.03.avi ...
 # 
 # otherwise, use avisource(folder+filename)

 x="f:\vid.avi"
 segmentedAVISource(x)

 # your IVTC code here, then..

 reverse()
