Premiere Pro has a lot of interesting features to edit video clips with. One of those features is the Speed and Duration setting that you can use to play around with the speed, duration, and direction of your clip. Here is a tutorial on how to use this setting to reverse the direction of your clip so that it plays from end to beginning instead of beginning to end.

Step 1. After opening your project in Premiere Pro and importing the video you wish to change the direction of into your project, left-click on the blue box next to the clip file’s name so that it opens  in the editing section of Premiere (the Source box). As an example, I will showing how I changed the direction of the robot legs clip.

Step 2. Next, direct all your focus onto the editing box where the clip you wish to edit is now selected. Using your mouse, right-click on the video clip preview.

Step 3. This will open a long dialogue box. Find the option called “Speed/Duration” and left-click on it.

Step 4. The Speed/Duration settings box will then pop-up and prompt you to make changes to the clip.

Step 5. Lastly, check the box that says “Reverse Speed” and then click “OK”. Now your clip should play backwards.
