Reverse Video or Audio in Sony Vegas

Just a quick tutorial to show how to reverse video or audio in Sony Vegas Video.

If you know of another way to do this please post a comment or video showing how. It is a frequently requested tutorial and I'm sure others would benefit from it.

Thanks,

When I reverse the audio, it takes audio from a totally different clip instead of reversing the sound I want to reverse. Help?

I also have this problem when creating a subclip. The audio in the subclip doesn't match.

P.S. When I reverse video, it works fine. It's just the audio that has a problem. But if I reverse audio that doesn't come from a video clip, it works fine. (example: WAV, MP3, etc., but not from WMV or any video)

@yoshiog1 I've never experienced this problem with audio before. When you are reversing the audio I am guessing that you are right clicking on the audio clip and choosing reverse? This should be all you have to do. There is another way to tackle this though. Simply apply any audio affect to the clip you want to use. It will ask you to save it as a wav file. Then the clip in the editing window shouldn't have any issues being reversed.

Hope that helps.

mine gets really choppy

and i saw a cmnt saying my processor gets maxed out? idk what it means but

i need it to work!

[Pookieftw]

Sometimes it is choppy while you are working on the video. When you render it the video usually is fine.

When I reverse the footage, the footage gets choppy, when before it wasn't....help!

[Pookieftw]

The only reason I can think that it would become choppy is because of system memory or processor power being maxed out. Did you try to render it to see if it was still choppy?

[yoshiog1]

@Pookieftw It's not asking me to save it as a WAV. I selected an audio effect, but why in the world would it ask me to save it? That's not what's happening. Maybe I should show you my problem by rendering a reversed video and uploading it to YouTube.

It's laggy, But I rendered it and it worked well, Thanks Man! Just gave you a sub.

@TaiyenChan Select your video by left clicking and dragging then press shift 'B'. It should work out the lags.

[TaiyenChan]

When I reverse my video, it gets all laggy... Please, any help? I saw your other comments on rendering the video but I don't know how to do that or what it does...
