A Quick and Easy Tutorial on
How to Reverse a Video

✓ In VEGAS Pro, under the File menu, select Import>Media. The Import Media window opens. Navigate to the folder which contains your video.  Select the video clip.  Click Open. The video now appears in the Project Media window.

If you did not select both the video event and the audio event when you reversed the event, the audio event will not be reversed, and there will be no arrow icon. If you want to reverse it, you can now right-click the audio event and choose Reverse. An arrow icon on the audio event confirms the reversal.  However, if it suits your project to reverse either the video or the audio and not the other, you’re always free to reverse only one.

If you want to set the event back to normal playback, right-click on the event and uncheck Reverse. The reversed subclip will remain the Project Media pool, so you can still drag it to the timeline at any time.

As we said, when you reverse the video in an event, VEGAS creates a subclip which appears in the Project Media window, which you can use as a timeline event as many times as you want. But if you want to make a permanent copy of the reversed video, to save processing power or to use in another project, you can render a video to create a separate video file.
