Play videos backwards and create amazing reverse videos on your iPhone or iPad. Download Reverse Video Editor for free now! With Reverse Video Editor, you can make an existing video play backwards in just a few steps. Movements suddenly seem to defy gravity, objects put themselves back together, and everyday footage turns into eye-catching Reels, Shorts, Stories, or status videos. You can select common video formats such as MP4 and MOV from your Photos library and turn them into a new reverse video. How it works: 1. Download this app (Reverse Video Editor) for free from the App Store and open the app. 2. Select an existing video from your Photos library. 3. Preview the original and choose whether the audio should also play in reverse or the result should be saved without sound. 4. Let the app reverse the video and save it as a new reverse video in the Photos app. 5. Preview the finished result right in the app and share it. Your original video remains unchanged. Want to play a video backwards, make a clip run in reverse, or create a reverse-video effect on your iPhone or iPad? This app is made for exactly that—without complicated video-editing software. Examples of creative reverse-video ideas that others have brought to life with this app: - A jump into a pool that, when played in reverse, looks as if the person is flying up out of the water. - A ball thrown onto the ground that appears to bounce back into a hand all by itself. - A spilled drink that flows back into the glass. - A torn sheet of paper that seemingly puts itself back together. - Confetti that flies from the air back into a hand. Countless other activities look surprising or funny when played backwards. They can become creative video effects, unusual transitions, and entertaining clips for friends, family, and social media. The entire sequence of images plays backwards. If you enable audio, the soundtrack also plays in reverse. Alternatively, you can save the finished video without sound. The saved video file contains no visible watermark or app logo. The original resolution is preserved losslessly: 1080p videos stay 1080p, and 4K videos stay 4K. The resolution is not reduced when the reverse video is created. The video files you select are processed securely and locally on your device. To create the reverse video, the app does not upload them to the cloud or to an external server. Using the iOS share sheet, you can send your finished reverse video through iMessage, WhatsApp, or other messaging apps, or share it on social media—for example on Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, or YouTube Shorts, as well as in a Story or status update. Whether it is a funny effect, a creative transition, a little magic video, or a surprising social-media clip, let your creativity run free and impress friends and family with original reverse videos.

ASCII. Brush Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
Draw your photo the way you want it! ASCII. started from a simple wish — to make ASCII photos that actually look good. On top of the visual calm of vintage computer graphics, it adds colour and a brush, so you can make your own images and enjoy doing it. Unlike plain converters, you can lay a rainbow-coloured pattern over the frame, and paint your own brush to make a picture that exists nowhere else. With a 3-second loop you can also make the kind of ASCII video you have seen in retro games, and lately in horror games. If you need longer, a one-time purchase takes it to 15 seconds — but 3 seconds is already plenty for something good. [Main features] - An ASCII character camera. It converts to ASCII, and to other character sets too. - Rub the brush over only the spot you want, and only that spot becomes characters. - Record what you see as a video with the loop. - Save it as characters, not only as an image. Send the text in a message. - Six character sets: ASCII, digits, binary, braille, blocks, and any letters you type yourself. - Give a brush shape you like a name and keep it. It loads straight into your next shot. - Cut out a circle, or flip the inside and the outside. - The rainbow filter drifts slowly. When a colour you like comes up, lock the palette and reshuffle the layout. - You don't have to shoot right now. Bring a photo in from your album and turn it into characters. - Shoot in 4:3 or 1:1. - No account, no server, no advertising. The camera view never leaves your device. [What you get for free] A fresh install comes with 24 shots you can save at full resolution. After those, shooting and saving carry on just the same; only the saved size drops to screen size. You can keep three brushes, and loops run to 3 seconds. One purchase opens full-resolution saving, unlimited brushes and 15-second loops. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Verdict

Reverse Video Editor's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
