Amusing GIF with reverse action
We will show you how to reverse action on a clip of your video. To illustrate this, we will have video clip of the diving without any reverse action. Then we will show you how to reverse the action in a copy of the same clip.
To accomplish this, we will use the ScreenFlow video editing program. In the lower left-hand corner of the ScreenFlow image below is the clip of the diving sequence before being reversed.

To make a video:
-

- Move the red vertical line to the end of the clip,
