Ah, it appears that issue is just with the demo version. I had been testing a version of RSMB that was registered, so I never saw the problem. Oh, the joys of programming :-).
I’ve fixed the demo-verison-inverted-image problem in the latest update, 4.2.1, available here: https://www.revisionfx.com/products/rsmb/downloads/#fcpmotion

Let’s say the dog needs to be slowed down, and the first frame you want to slow down is at frame 200, and you want to slow it down to 33% (3 times slower).
When you go to frame 200 and set Twixtor’s speed to 33%, then all of a sudden you will be looking at original frame 66 (33% of 200). What you call “jumping back”.
This is what I expect, because you are telling the whole clip to slow down.
let’s say you set a keyframe for Twixtor’s speed at frame 0 of 100% and at frame 200 you set a speed of 33%. This still doesn’t fix the problem because Premiere will animate Twixtor’s speed from 100% to 33% over the course of the 200 frames. Now what?
Well, place a keyframe of 100% at time 0, and another keyframe of 100% at time 199. Then the clip will be forced to play at 100% for the entire set of frames up to 199. THen change the speed to 33% at frame 200.
Hope this helps,

Negative speed is covered in our manual… have you found and read that?
Here is the relevant section:
Note on negative speed: A Speed% of -100.00 does not simply flip the original sequence so that it plays backwards starting at frame 0. Imagine the play head on your clip. If you are at the beginning of the clip and you tell the machine (Twixtor in this case) to start playing backward, then there’s nothing before the clip starting position to play. That’s why you will not see a result with a negative speed as the first keyframe. If you play the clip at 100% for a while, then put in a –30% keyframe (or other negative value) at the place where you want to start playing backward you will see proper results.
If you want to play backwards from the very beginning, and just slow it down, on the original clip (in your nested sequence, not where Twixtor is applied), use FCP’s speed setting and set the clip IN FCP to play at -100%. Then use Twixtor to play at the appropriate slowed-down speed (not negative, because FCP is already doing that part for you).

I’ve seen people reporting this problem, and I’m guessing those people with the flash have not gotten them from us. We obviously cannot vouch for crack’d or stolen copies and what those versions may or may not do.
