Hi Dan & other developers, Still a layman and ignorant of anything beyond using the User Interface, one question: If it already is integrated in the speed effect, why can't it simply be applied by entering a negative speed percentage (i.e. -100 for 1:1 reverse motion) in the speed effect parameters? That, to me, seems the easiest and most conventional (i.e. similar to other applications such as Final Cut) way to solve the issue.
