I'm using Premiere 6.0. How can I reverse the direction a clip plays (so it plays backwards)?
Thanks.

I figured it out. Right-click on the clip in the timeline, then select Speed... and enter a negative value (-100%).

Hmm. When I export the video, the quality of the reversed clip is poor. It might still work for some applications, but not for me this time.

Reversed video will in most cases look better if you deinterlace the video. Without deinterlacing you're left with a jerky playback(if you know how interlaced fields work then this makes some easy sense).
Right-click the clip you've reversed, select Video Options->Field Options... then select "Always Deinterlace"(and I believe "Flicker Removal" works in this case as well).
Give it a try and enjoy! -Trevor
