Insert velocity envelope and set speed to -100%

Insert a Velocity envelope. Set it to -100%.

Either select the video clip on the timeline and type V or Insert / Video Envelope / Event Velocity. A thin green line will appear down the center of the clip. Drag the line to the bottom to get -100%.

Right-click and choose "Reverse"

You can also right click on the clip on the timeline and select "Reverse". This is the easiest way to do it in Vegas 5 or 6 to me. Vegas 4 required the use a velocity envelope set at -100%. Either way should wrk fine.

Oopsie. I forgot that Reverse was added in 5.

If you want an answer from a genius, Einstein would tell you to travel faster than the speed of light, at which point time would go backwards and the video would reverse itself.

THANK YOU JOHN! I'm glad to see someone else shares my belief that traveling faster than light would cause you to go backward. I feel much bettter now.

but John, you are in the frame of reference, ...............

Sharp people here. OK, you have to watch video on the monitor receding from you at the speed of light ...

Wow ,that would be one hell of a zoom/focus pull on a telescope!!

Unfortunely, electrons do not travel as fast photons, so the monitor signal would not exist,.... plus even if you attain c+, the doppler effect on the photons would have an effect of converting them to mass, ie, subatomic particles.

Hmm wonder what would happen if you put in c for a value in the playback rate or velocity envelope.
Ok enough Einstien and Maxwell,because this stuff is going over my head at C W W R W B I L V meters per second.
