Reverse playback.

Play selected source moments backwards.

The large skate clip plays source 5.4 seconds back to 0.4 seconds. The smaller view plays the same interval forward, so the reversed jump and travel direction can be compared. A source-time cursor moves left with the hero. Both media layers, their timing curves and the layout remain FX content.

Will this reverse the sound too?

This feature reverses visual playback. Prepare and review any reverse-audio treatment separately.

How do I try this with my agent?

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon. Save the sample prompt for launch. Once Tesseract is installed, your local agent can use it to create, preview, and refine an editable project.

Where does the video render?

Tesseract previews and renders locally on a Mac. The local engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.
