There are two main ways to play back videos in Premiere Pro: one is to use the “play speed” option, and the other is to use “time remapping”. The first method is: right-click the video clip on the timeline, select "Speed/Duration", and check "Reverse Play"; the second method is: after selecting the clip, open the "Effect Control" panel, expand "Time Remap", manually adjust the time code or set keyframes to achieve reverse playback. In addition, when playing backward, you should note that the audio will not be synchronized and reversed by default. You need to perform a reversed operation on the audio separately or enable the audio processing option, otherwise the screen and the sound will be out of sync.
Want to play a video backwards in Premiere Pro? In fact, the method is not difficult, the key steps are very direct.

Use the Play Speed option to play backwards the clip
This is the most commonly used method, suitable for editing a video clip on the timeline.

- Open Premiere Pro and drag the video clip you want to play backwards onto the timeline
- Right-click the clip and select "Speed /Duration "
- Check " Reverse Speed" in the pop-up window
- After clicking OK, the video will be played in reverse mode.
This method is suitable for most cases, such as if you want to let a person walk play backwards, and you can preview the effect without additional rendering.
Take advantage of "Time Remapping" in the Effect Control
If you need more flexible control, such as only playing back a certain part or doing speed changes before playing backwards, you can use the "Time Remapping" function:

- Select video clips on the timeline
- Open the Effect Controls panel (if not open, it can be found in the window menu)
- Expand the "Time Remap" section
- Modify the "timecode" or drag the keyframe to adjust the playback order, manually set it to the reverse path
This method is more suitable for editing scenarios with specific rhythm changes, such as slow motion relay, which is more flexible, but the operation is a little more complicated.
Pay attention to whether the audio is played backwards in synchronization
When you play videos backwards, the audio will not be reversed by default. If you want the audio to be played backwards, remember:
- Separate the audio and video and then play the audio separately
- Or in the Speed/Duration setting, confirm that the audio processing option is enabled (if any)
The interfaces of different versions of Premiere Pro are slightly different, but the core logic is basically the same. If you accidentally forget to process the audio, the picture may go backwards but the sound is normal, which will affect the viewing feeling.
Basically that's it. As long as you are familiar with these two methods, backward editing will not be a problem in the project.

To solve the problem of audio and video out of synchronization in PremierePro, first check the timeline settings to ensure that the frame rate matches the audio sample rate; secondly enable hardware acceleration and optimize cache settings to improve performance; then use the synchronization lock function to prevent mismoving the track; finally pay attention to exporting settings, select a stable format and confirm that the audio parameters are correct. Perform the above steps in turn to effectively avoid audio and video drift problems.

The method to quickly use the razor tool in PremierePro is to press the C key; 1. Press the C key on the keyboard to switch to the razor tool, or you can find the knife icon in the left toolbar to select it; 2. Position the playback head to the position you need to cut, click the clip to cut; 3. If you need to delete the middle part, you can select the middle section and press Delete to delete it after the same clip is cut again; 4. Use the selection tool (V) to adjust the sequence of the clips or leave a blank timeline; 5. If you need to cut the multi-track clip at the same time, you can check "All tracks" in the top menu; 6. If you accidentally cut the wrong clips, you can undo or right-click the clips; 7. In addition, press and hold the Alt left mouse button to temporarily enable the razor function without switching the tool; pay attention to ensuring that the playback head is used when using it; 6. If you accidentally cut it wrong, you can undo or right-click the clips; 7. In addition, press and hold the left mouse button of the Alt mouse to temporarily enable the razor function without switching the tool;

To display text letter by letter, use PremierePro’s built-in “Typewriter” animation preset or manually adjust the opacity or zoom of each character. 1. Use presets such as "Typewriter-Reveal" in the "EssentialGraphics" panel to directly apply the verbatim effect; 2. Enable character-by-character animation through the "EssentialGraphics panel" and select Opacity or Scale for customization; 3. Set Start and EndOffset to control the animation rhythm and combine keyframes to achieve dynamic changes; 4. You can adjust the offset, add blur or color change to enhance the effect. It is recommended that each letter lasts 0.1-0.2 seconds and is suitable for phrases rather than long paragraphs.

There are three ways to quickly add the same effect to multiple clips in PremierePro: 1. Use the "EffectChainer" tool to first apply the effect to one clip, and then click other clips one by one through the chain icon in the effect panel to apply it in batches; 2. By copying and pasting attributes, right-click the first clip with added effects in the timeline to select copy, then select other clips to right-click to select paste attributes, and only select video or audio effects to paste; 3. Use the adjustment layer to process the video effect, create a new adjustment layer and place it above the target clip, and drag the effect to the adjustment layer to affect all clips below it. The above methods can significantly improve work efficiency and are suitable for the needs of different scenarios.

The red box appears in PremierePro because the preview file is not generated or the material path is incorrect. Common reasons include just imported projects, material path changes, insufficient cache space, or failed proxy files loading. Solution: 1. Wait for automatic cache generation; 2. Manually generate preview rendering timeline; 3. Check and relink missing materials; 4. Clean and rebuild media cache. When using proxy clips, you should confirm that the proxy files are correctly associated and appropriately reduce the playback resolution to improve preview fluency.

There are three ways to rotate videos in PremierePro. 1. Use the "Motion" option in the "Effect Control" to accurately adjust the rotation angle, which is suitable for fine operation; 2. Use the "Create Sequence from Clip" function to automatically correct the vertical video direction of the mobile phone, saving time and effort; 3. Use "Crop" and "Zoom" to adjust the screen to fill the screen and avoid black edges to ensure complete output quality.

Adding a fade effect to audio in PremierePro can be achieved in three ways: 1. Use audio transition effects such as "Constant Gain" or "Exponential Fade" and drag directly to the beginning of the audio clip; 2. Manually add volume keyframes in the "Effect Controls" panel, and control fade speed and nature by adjusting the keyframe position and curve; 3. Use the "Trail Mixer" to drag the volume slider in real time to record the operation track, which is suitable for unified management of multi-track audio. Each method has its own advantages. Newbie can choose to quickly achieve the transition effect, advanced users are suitable for manual adjustment or use the track mixer to obtain more refined control. Finally, it is recommended that preview ensures that the audio transition is natural and smooth.
