Reverse video on iphone

Reverse videos are in trend these days on social media platforms. Mostly because of the interesting video-form ideas people come up with. Although Snapchat offers a built-in reverse mode, it has limited functionality. Ironically, even the full-blown version of iMovie does not help you to reverse a video on iOS.

Reversing a video on iPhone with the InShot app

InShot comes with a boatload of presets, filters, and transition effects. It is basically built to provide on-the-go editing functionalities and share across popular social media platforms. The only swindle I find is that the app is adware, and you will have to deal with it unless you pay for the premium subscription.

  1. Download the InShot app and Open it.
  2. Tap Video under the “create new” section.
  3. Select the video to import and reverse it. 
  4. Tap Canvas, and select the frame (size ratio). 
    If you’re unsure about the platform you would be sharing, select No Frame.

    Steps to reverse video in the InShot app
  5. Swipe tools all the way to the right and select Reverse.
    Depending upon the video size, it might take some time. 
  6. Check the video once the process is complete.

  9. Hit the Save button.

    Exporting Reverse Video in InShot app

The video will start exporting. Stay on the app screen and do not lock the iPhone to avoid delay or cancellation of the process. If you want to share the video directly, tap “Other” and select the app.
