Play a video backwards for a comedy effect

The un-spill

The bread-and-butter rewind gag. Reverse a spill so the liquid jumps back into the glass.

Input:  spill.mp4 (4 s, water hits the floor)
Reverse here -> spill_reversed.mp4
Result: water leaps up off the floor and back into the glass,
        reversed splash audio adds to the effect.

Graceful un-fall with tight timing

Reverse a fall, then trim so the rise starts exactly on the right frame.

1. Reverse fall.mp4        -> fall_reversed.mp4
2. Trim fall_reversed.mp4 to the frame where the rise begins
   (lossless-trimmer)      -> rise.mp4
Result: subject pops up off the ground smoothly.

Reverse + slow-mo super landing

Reverse a jump-down into a leap-up, then halve the speed for a dramatic, floaty landing.

1. Reverse jumpdown.mp4     -> leapup.mp4 (this tool)
2. video-speed-controller @ 0.5x on leapup.mp4 -> leapup_slow.mp4
Result: exaggerated, slow super-jump landing.

Endless moonwalk loop

Reverse a forward walk, then merge forward + reverse so the walk loops without a hard cut.

1. Reverse walk.mp4        -> walk_reversed.mp4
2. Merge: walk.mp4 + walk_reversed.mp4 -> moonwalk_loop.mp4
Loops forward-then-back like a boomerang of the walk.

Clean backwards visual with your own voiceover

Keep the reverse visual but drop the reversed audio so you can narrate over it.

1. Reverse skit.mp4        -> skit_reversed.mp4 (audio reversed)
2. Strip audio (audio-track-extractor remove-audio) -> skit_silent.mp4
3. Add your VO in any editor.
Note: the reverser cannot mute on its own; strip audio after.

The reverser reverses both streams together — it cannot keep audio forward while the picture runs backward. For a backwards visual with forward narration, reverse here, strip the reversed audio, then add your own forward track in an editor.

Keep the default output. areverse reverses the soundtrack, so speech and sound effects play backward — exactly what a rewind bit needs. No extra steps.

JAD does not watermark output. The reversed MP4 is clean — that is the whole point for memes. If you see a watermark, it was already burned into your source clip before you uploaded it here.

A reel over 60 s triggers the chunked reverse path automatically — correct, but you end up reversing footage you do not need. Reverse, then trim to the gag, or trim first to keep it fast and snappy.

Reverse emits frames in reverse order regardless of frame timing. If a downstream editor shows slightly odd timing, the cause is the phone's VFR timestamps, not the reversal. Converting to constant frame rate first removes the ambiguity.

The reverser does not change duration or speed. To stretch or compress the beat, run the reversed MP4 through the video-speed-controller, or trim the in/out points with the lossless-trimmer.

Free caps at 1 GB per file, Pro at 10 GB, Pro-media and Developer at 100 GB. A raw recording above the cap is rejected before processing — trim or compress, then reverse.

Reversal re-encodes, so the result is always MP4. That is ideal for posting — MP4 is universally accepted by social platforms and editors.
