Reverse Videos in Adobe Rush

Part 1: How to Reverse Videos in Adobe Rush?

Adobe Rush is $9.99 per month as a single app or as a part of the Creative Cloud subscription. If you choose to purchase Adobe Rush as a separate app, you won't be able to reverse videos since the feature is not included. But all projects you create in Adobe Rush can be imported into Adobe Pro, where you can easily reverse any video clips. That's why choosing the Creative Cloud subscription that costs $52.99 per month is currently a better option than opting to get only the Adobe Rush app.

What's more, the app is compatible with both macOS 10.13 or later and Windows 10 (v1709) or later, and you'll have to update your OS in case you're using an older version, in order to be able to install Adobe Rush to your computer. You can also use the app to edit videos from your iPhone, but the Android version of the app is still not available.

The following video is about how to reverse footage both spatially and with respect to time in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

Alternatively, you can download and have a free trial for Wondershare Filmora. This is a very easy-to-use while powerful video editing software that offers a lot more than the reverse video option. It can help you make a slow-mo (timelapse) video, green screen video, fade in/out audio files, and zoom in/out videos.
