How do I reverse a video clip on the iPad?

iPad Pro, 10.5”, v17.7.6

iMovie 3.0.5


While this system has the Clock icon for editing, it does not have the Reverse button so, other than a 3rd party app, is there a way to reverse a video clip? If not native to my system, would a new iPad give me more editing features?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Am no expert in this area, yet your question deserves some response, if only to get your discussion underway.


Doesn't seem to be a way to reverse a video clip in either iMovie: iMovie User Guide for iPad - Apple Support

or

In Apple's free Clips app from the App Store: Clips User Guide - Apple Support

Seems it may take a Mac to reverse a video-clip. ?

("Final Cut Pro" is Apple's professional post-production software available at a price, from the App Store)

Someone who is using the software may know better.

Seems the editing features are within the software, and current versions may or may not be updated with new features. You could send a feature request to Apple through their feedback website if you wish.


All the best :-)
