Whether you want to add drama or create complex content for catching the viewers’ attention, reversing a video is an idea worth exploring. To do that, use TikTok’s very own in-built editor. Ensure that select video(s) make chronological sense in reverse as well. On the other hand, Snapchat has stopped offering the reverse feature on most Android phones. Few iPhone models still have support for it, but how long? That’s is to be seen.
