Reverse motion not working using velocity envelope...

How come it doesn't work ? I put a vel. env. to -100% and the clip actually plays just a little slower than it used to... I tried putting two more marks and BRING it down (to -100%) then back at 100% in the end of the clip instead of just dragging down the velocity line in the clip ... with no success... I prerendered, too, to see if it was just an "overload" situation... still no success ...

Works for me <g>. The velocity envelope should look like a horitonal line across the bottom of the event, and the envelope point should tooltip "-100%" on it when you hover the mouse over it. Works fine for me. You'll also need to have the event set to loop, or slip the media so it has something to play backwards *from*.

But how do I set it to "loop", is there a checkbox somewhere? And how do I slip the media, I don't quite get the idea....? I remember having done it successfully when I bought the software and tried it for the first week but now, seems that I'm getting dumber somehow...

Loop: right-click on event, Switches, Loop.

Slip: Alt+drag in contents of event, in this case, to the left. You can see the "start" frame at the left of the event.
