The reverse video app that turns clips into magic tricks✦
Record a video, press Start, and watch it play backwards. Spilled juice un-spills, torn paper repairs itself, people float off the ground. Reverse Movie FX makes the reverse videos your friends will ask about — in under a minute, right on your phone.
Videos that make people ask “how did you do that?”

Real examples
Reverse videos people actually made
The same examples you get inside the app. Hover to preview, tap to watch — then film your own version.
Magic coins
Scattered coins leap off the table and stack themselves back into a pile.
How to attract money?
Banknotes fly across the room straight into an open hand — the classic money-attraction reverse video.
Magic balloons
A burst of balloons gathers itself back together instead of drifting apart.
Banana
A peeled, eaten banana reassembles itself and zips back into its skin.
Cards trick
A collapsed spread of playing cards jumps back into a perfect deck.
Lord of the cans
A toppled tower of cans rebuilds itself in one smooth move.
No editing skills needed. If you can record a clip, you can rewind time.
Record or pick a clip
Use the built-in reverse cam or load any video from your gallery — walking, pouring, throwing, singing, talking.
Select the fragment
Drag the timeline handles to choose exactly which part of the video plays backwards. Short clips work best.
Press Start
The app reverses the video (and the sound, if you want). Add magic music, export a reversed + original loop, or open the Speed Editor for slow motion and fast motion from 0.25× to 4×.
Share the magic
Save to your gallery and post to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or send it anywhere. Then enjoy the comments.
Every mode
Four ways to bend time on your phone
Reverse is the headline, but the app ships three more modes — and they stack. These are the actual screens, not mock-ups.
The home screen: every mode, one tap away
Reverse video
Play any clip backwards
The original trick and still the best one. Record with the built-in reverse cam or load a clip from your gallery, drag the handles to pick the exact fragment, and the app renders it backwards in seconds. Spilled juice un-spills, torn paper repairs itself, thrown objects fly back to your hand.
Most free apps give you one slider that re-times the whole clip. The Slow Mo/Fast Mo mode splits the timeline into segments and gives each its own speed, anywhere from 0.25× to 4×. Drag a bar up to speed a stretch up, down to slow it, drag the divider to move where the change lands.
That's how the run-up races by at 2.5× while the jump drops to 0.59× and the landing snaps back to normal — the contrast is what makes an edit look deliberate.
The viral one. Record yourself attempting a line backwards, then hit Play Reverse — if you nailed the phonetics, it comes out as recognisable singing. Loop playback keeps the reference running while you practise, and the playback rate slider lets you slow the original down until you can copy it syllable by syllable.
However you sound backwards, someone is going to laugh. Illustrative photos.
Output mode, speed, filter, HD and music in one dialog
Output options
Loops, music and HD before you render
One dialog decides how the clip comes out. Pick reversed, reversed + original or original + reversed to build a seamless boomerang loop, nudge the speed slider without opening the full editor, add a colour filter, keep the reversed audio or drop a music track over it, and switch HD on.
Install Reverse Movie FX free from Google Play, tap Start, record a new clip or pick one from your gallery, select the fragment you want reversed and press Start. The app renders your video backwards in seconds — no desktop software needed.
Can I slow down or speed up a video with this app?
Yes. The Speed Editor on Android covers everything from 0.25× slow motion to 4× fast motion. It works in segments on the timeline, so you can slow a single moment and leave the rest at normal speed — and you don't have to reverse the clip first.
How do I make a fast motion or time-lapse-style video?
Drag a speed bar up towards 4×. A true time-lapse has to be captured that way by the camera, but for footage already on your phone, fast motion gives you the same compressed feel — a two-minute clip becomes a punchy thirty seconds.
Yes — free to download and free to use, supported by ads, with an optional Pro upgrade to remove them. The free version has 50M+ installs and a 4.5★ rating from over a million reviews.
How do people make reverse singing challenge videos?
They sing the song backwards on camera, then reverse the recording so the melody plays forwards while everything else runs eerily in reverse. Reverse Movie FX has a reverse singing recorder built for exactly this challenge.
Film the object or person falling, then reverse the clip — the fall becomes a smooth, impossible rise. The app's idea feed includes levitation examples you can copy shot-for-shot.
Can I use my reversed videos on TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. Clips save to your gallery as normal videos, so you can post them to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, WhatsApp — anywhere. You keep a clean file, unlike platform-locked effects.
Easy wins: throw something so it flies back into your hand, tear paper so it repairs itself, or spill juice so it pours back into the glass. The in-app Videos with Ideas feed has dozens more.
