Reversing (permanently) film clip on FCP
Hi, I have a short pan of people looking to the right. It needs to play left to right, but I shot it panning right to left. Before you ask, yes, I have a second shot of a correct left to right pan, but it’s not good, The other one is much better. So I thought that I would fix the problem in this way:
I’d
1.) make the R > L clip independent
2.) reverse the direction of play on it via either the viewer or the canvas.
3.) render that reversal
3.) insert the corrected clip into the sequence.
But I can’t figure out how to get the reversal (2.) I want.
Please advise, and thanks.

Hey Walter,
In Discreet Edit, my former NLE, when reversing playback of a clip there was a checkbox for reversing field order, which made the playback smoother. Any idea if FCP does this automatically???
THNX,

the royal way to do this is the free ” G Reverse ” plugin from non other than the great Graham Nattress
fills a gigantic hole in Fcp features
