Using the Time-Reverse Keyframes keyframe assistant


    For any property in a layer, you can select a range of keyframes and reverse their order. For example, you can reverse keyframes in the Position property to reverse the motion of an object. You can select and reverse keyframes across multiple layers and properties, but each set of keyframes for a property is reversed only within its original time range, not that of any other selected property. Markers in the Timeline window are not reversed, so you may need to move markers after reversing keyframes.

To reverse keyframes:

  1. In the Timeline window, select a range of keyframes you want to reverse.
  2. Choose Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Time-Reverse Keyframes.
  3. For information on reversing the direction in which a layer plays and changing the order of the keyframes, see Reversing the playback direction of a layer. For information on reversing the direction in which a layer plays without changing the order of the keyframes, see About time-remapping.
