I have 4 clips in the timeline, they are saved PDF's of websites from Safari. The first one scrolls from the top to the bottom. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th starts scroll from the bottom up to the top of the sites. I can't figure out why these are scrolling up from the bottom. Can someone help?

Select in the timeline the PDF that you want to reverse. Click on the speed control icon (the one that looks like a clock face) in the toolbar at the upper right of your screen. Then place a checkmark in the box next to the "Reverse" option. That will reverse the scroll.

The terms "export" and "share" are interchangeable and mean the same thing. When one shares to "file", that creates a video file on your desktop or whatever other destination that you selected.

You've got the clip filter icon selected instead of the speed control icon. Click on the speed control icon and you will get the "reverse" option. Be sure that you have first selected the PDF clip in the timeline.

iMovie is not reading your PDF as a scrolling PDF. Export the PDF to your desktop so that it becomes a video. Then import it into your project, select it in the timeline, and click on the speed icon that should now be activated. Then click on the reverse option. It will flip and play backwards. I’m not sure whether text will appear as a backwards mirror image.

The speed control does not apply to photos, but only to videos. Photos have no speed (frames per second). Photos only have duration (running time). So the speed control will not activate for jpegs. As I previously suggested, export the PDF to your desk top as a video and import the video back into your project.

I'm still not doing something just right because the 4th of the 3 sites is still scrolling up instead of down and the video isn't starting at the top of each site. I'd attach the MP4 here but it's not allowed.
See my attached screen shot. No options when I clicked on the clock icon. It's greyed out. What you are seeing here is the icon next the clock.
I converted the 4 PDF's to JPG's then imported them as you see in the screen shot. I clicked on them but the clock icon won't become active.
I don't see a way to Export the 4 JPG's. No Export in the menu.
Clock still won't become active.
Ok but how oe what app do I use to convert the four JPG's to videos? All I have is Affinity Photo.
Put the jpegs into an iMovie project, individually or as a batch if you want, and export them to your desktop. That will turn them into a video file.

How do I adjust scrolling through the timeline in iMovie?
