  • How to reverse clip?

    Posted by Ron Whitaker on August 18, 2013 at 12:21 am

    I’ve created a lower thirds with a couple of clips.

    One clip is the logo, created in Photoshop, and saved as a PNG for transparency.

    The other is simply a line, also created in Photoshop and saved as PNG.

    I’ve got the logo and line how I want them: the logo springs up from the bottom of the screen, then the line forms starting at the right and meets the logo. I’ve done all that via Pan/Crop.

    Then I have the name appear, then fade after a few seconds.

    At that point, I want the logo and line to simply reverse, meaning, the logo now moves down and off screen, and the line moves to the right and disappears.

    I created copies of each clip of the logo and line, placed them next to the originals, then right-clicked on each clip, but Reverse if faded and inactive.

    Can this be done?

    Simply save this lower thirds creation as a project file by itself,
    then in the final project you want it in, just drag it to the timeline
    as you would a video clip and you can then reverse it as any other
    clip to get the look you want…(Hope im reading your issue correctly)
