If you are wondering how to reserve TikTok videos, you are at the right place. Keep reading and you’ll learn how to do this in the TikTok app for Android and iOS, as well as some free alternative apps. We recommend sticking with TIkTok’s native reverse feature.
Why Reverse a TikTok Video?
Doing things in reverse usually looks pretty cool. You get bonus style points for that and that’s it. Nobody is making you do this, but this trend is viral nowadays, especially on TikTok. The reverse video feature is unique to TikTok, and popular TikTokers brought it to the fore.
The concept of doing things backwards is nothing new or unusual. People found this funny a long time ago.
The internet has popularized other, more recent reverse video trends. The bottle cap challenge is probably one of the most popular. It was a global trend, and if you’re creative enough, maybe you could create something of this magnitude using the reverse feature in TikTok.
How to Reverse TikTok Videos
You can reverse TikTok videos, also called TikTok (oh how creative is the TikTok app, perfectly without using any third party software). This is not difficult at all, especially if you follow our detailed instructions:
- Launch TikTok on your iOS or Android device.
- Start recording a video on TikTok. Tap the Add (plus) icon at the bottom of your screen.
- Next, hold down the record button (red circle) and it will immediately start recording. Tap the button (checkmark) once more when you’ve finished recording.
- After recording, select the Effects (clock) option at the bottom of the recording window.
- A new drop-down menu will appear on your screen. Swipe right until you find the Time tab. Tap on it.
- Now select Reverse (next to flash and slow motion, its icon looks like an hourglass).
- When the effect is applied, tap Save in the upper-right corner of this window.
This much. Your reverse TikTok video is ready to share or save. It will appear on your TikTok profile, which you can download for free to your Camera Roll or share with your friends through various media outlets.
Android Video Reverse Alternative
There are so many online tools that offer free video reversing. One of the best for Android devices is called Reverse Movie FX – Magic Video. Note that if you want to reverse a TikTok video, you must save it to your Camera Roll before using this app. Once you have the video ready, follow these steps:
- Download Reverse Movie FX for Android.
- Open the app on your device.
- Select Reverse Start and select your TikTok video.
- Choose the start and end points of your video.
- Select Start and enable the Reverse option. You can also choose to add music or use the original sound from your TikTok.
- When you’re done, select Start Bounce at the bottom of your screen.
Here, the app will reverse your TikTok shortly. This app works on ads, so don’t be surprised if ads keep popping up.
iOS Video Reverse Alternative
Similar to Reverse Movie FX for Android, there is an iOS app called Reverse Vid that does the same thing. To use your TikTok after saving it to your Camera Roll, follow these steps:
- Download Reverse Vid iOS
- Launch Reverse Vid on your device.
- Add your TikTok from your Camera Roll.
- Once the file is uploaded, click Select and you will see some previews. Next, select the video playback speed. When you’re satisfied with the video, tap Save in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Confirm with Save Video.
If you want to reverse the whole video, playing videos in reverse is easy with this app. If you only want to change the t parts of the video, you need to upgrade to the premium app version.
Reversing
Here you got it. Reversing TikTok videos is not as difficult as you might think.
