Reversing a video event
Setting the velocity to a negative value reverses the video, working backwards from the point where the negative value occurs. An event that has been reversed plays backwards until it gets to the first frame and then holds that frame for the duration of the event.
1.
2.Trim the beginning of the video event to the place where you want the reversal to begin (e.g., the last frame in the media file that you want to play if it were playing forward).
3.Drag the velocity down to
This is the original, untrimmed, event. The horses run from left to right.
The event is edge trimmed to the frame where the reversal will begin.
The velocity envelope is added and set to

Grouping events
You are allowed to group events together within tracks or across separate tracks. Once you create a group, you can move all the events in the group within their tracks as a unit and apply
You can still edit properties of individual events within a group without affecting the other events in a group.
Creating a new group
Dragging one event in a group moves all events in the group.
Grouping is useful when you want to preserve timing of events and move events together along the timeline.
1.Select the events you want to group. For more information, see Selecting multiple events on page 96.
2.From the Edit menu, choose Group, and choose Create New from the submenu.
