Hey, no worries, been there! If you’re looking to reverse a video you accidentally recorded backwards on your iPhone, there are a couple of ways to do it.

First, you can use the built-in iMovie on your iPhone. Here’s how:

  1. Open iMovie.
  2. Tap the Projects tab, then tap Create Project.
  3. Select Movie and choose your video.
  4. Tap on the video in the timeline to bring up the inspector at the bottom.
  5. Scroll down to find the “Speed” option.
  6. Tap on “Reverse” and voila! Your video is reversed.

However, if you’re looking for something a bit more powerful or user-friendly, you might want to check out the ’ app. This particular app is great for reversing videos effortlessly and offers additional features that can come handy. Here’s a quick guide:

  1. Download and install ’ from the App Store.
  2. Open the app and import your video.
  3. There should be a “Reverse” button that you can tap.
  4. Trim and adjust the video if needed.
  5. Save the edited video to your camera roll.

There are also other apps you can consider like Adobe Premiere Rush, FilmoraGo, or Clipchamp (which just got a lot of traction recently). They all have handy video editing features including video reversal, but they might have a steeper learning curve compared to iMovie or '.

Let me know if that helps or if you need more detailed steps!

I can see where @sognonotturno is coming from, but I slightly disagree on the need for third-party apps like Adobe Premiere Rush or Clipchamp if you’re looking for simplicity. While they’re great, they can be a bit overkill for just reversing a video.

Another simple method that might’ve been overlooked is using TikTok. Yeah, sounds crazy, but it works! Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open TikTok and tap the ‘+’ button to start uploading.
  2. Select the video you want to reverse.
  3. Once the video is loaded into TikTok, tap on ‘Effects’.
  4. Go to ‘Time’ and then select ‘Reverse’.
  5. Save the video to your device by posting it privately or saving it before actually posting.

This one’s especially useful if you wanna add a cool spin to the video.

Don’t forget about Videoshop; it’s a nifty app specifically designed to simplify editing tasks like these.

But hey, if you’re going the iMovie route, cool, but I feel like TikTok or Videoshop speed things up and are super user-friendly. Neither requires a steep learning curve, saving you time in your already busy schedule.
