Hi, AnonymousZao!

I just tried posting a reply to your question and, when I clicked to post it, the post went "ker-blooey". This happens sometimes! Best I can suggest here is to create the sequence you want as a separate item and render(produce) it. Then drop that rendered clip into your complete video. When rendered the first time, you've gotten past any glitch(the problem might be trying to render the reversed sequences as part of a longer overall video item), but if you create the short sequence on its own first, you can add it to the rest of your video as if it were just another clip you insert as you assemble your overall movie. I use video-in-reverse for comic effect, kid dives into pool, split at point before dive, count off one second(25 frames, in my case), split again. Copy and paste the 1-second portion 6 more times for a total of 7 portions, then reverse the 2nd, 4th and 6th portions, you can see the effect in your mind's eye. Thing is, if I try to do this as part of a complete movie, I run up against the same problem as you, PD14 "hangs" when rendering the second "reverse" portion., So I figure, one way around this might be to create the comic sequence first, render it, then drop the render into the movie at the appropriate spot in the video, having already been rendered once, it should not give trouple when rendered again as part of the whole movie.

Cheers!

Neil.

Hi, AnonymousZao!

Somehow your post(and my reply) got "lost in the system". I posted a comment about this in a thread headed "Another Missing Post" which is now locked, but thanks to Theolieu(hope spelling's correct) who provided a link to your thread, I was able to find it and post this. In regard to your problem of PD14 not rendering reverse video, I hope the comments I posted in my reply were of some help. As it was, the reply was a second attempt as the first failed to be saved and got lost in the ether.

Cheers!

Neil.

P.S. Sure hope this thread doesn't get "lost in the system" again.

I'm going to have to give this a try on my next video and see if that fixes whatever issue might be going on. Thanks for the help Neil!

Hi, AnonymousZao!

It took a little experimentation to come up with this idea from which my suggestion came. I had another brand of video editing software that also featured video in reverse(Corel Video Studio Pro X5) and I did not need to create the reversing trick separately in that programme. However, trying to open that programme a month or so ago, it refused to open, so I uninstalled it, now the only editing programmes I have that can do video in reverse is PD14 and PD8(yes, video in reverse does go back as far as PD. I tried video in reverse in PD8, it had some sticking points(a bit clunky, not very smooth effect) but in PD14 was much better, but if I tried to do the effect too often in a video, the first application would render okay but when it got the the second sequence where I applied video in reverse, PD14 would "hang" and go no further. That's why I came up with this method to get around that problem. I'm glad I was able to help.

Cheers!
