In this article, we'll show you the best methods to process video in reverse, so you can reverse a video in most popular formats like MP4, AVI, MOV, and 3GP, among others.

With these platforms we present, you can reverse a video and save it to your computer to give it the use you want.

Method One: Video Time Reversal

With Video Time Reversal you can reverse videos easily. The input video formats are WMV, MOV, AVI, MP4, 3GP, and MTS. Before saving the output file in the original format or changing it to AVI, you can preview the video.

The highlights of the platform are the option to reverse audio too (the final quality is not good), the option to mute the audio track or save the audio and video tracks separately, and its great speed when processing the video.

Time Reversal is a free program available for Windows operating systems.

Method Two: Video Pad Video Editor

For the second method, we'll use Video Pad Video Editor, a very good option to reverse videos in just 4 steps.

First, load a video into the platform (it takes a while to load). Second, set the start and end points using the Start and End buttons. Third, click Video Effects, located among the top icons, and new buttons will appear at the bottom; select Speed Change. Fourth, a new window will open from which you must select Play Clip in reverse. At this point the reversal process begins; to save, go to the top Export menu and select Video File Option.

Video Pad Video Editor is a free program available for Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS and Android devices.

Method Three: VirtualDub and AviSynth

For the third method, we'll use two programs: VirtualDub and AviSynth (we use it to expand the output formats in VirtualDub) to reverse a video in just 6 steps.

First, install both programs. Then open VirtualDub and select the file you need to reverse. Go to the Video menu and select compression. A window will open; choose Uncompressed RGB/YCbCr and click OK. At this point, go to the File menu and save the file as AVI with the name InputFile.AVI. You can close the program and copy the following code into Notepad:

AviSource("InputFile.avi").Reverse()

Save it in the same location where you saved InputFile.AVI and name it Output.avs (make sure the extension is .avs and not .txt). All that's left is to open a new VirtualDub project and open the Output.avs file. Then save the project as AVI (File - Save as AVI). The reversal process will start, creating a new file output.avi (it does not overwrite InputFile.AVI).

VirtualDub and AviSynth are free programs available for Windows.
