Is there a comparable command to "reverse" in Video Post which allows a sequence of files (FILE0001, FILE0002, etc.) to be reversed (FILE0029, FILE0028, etc.)? It seems like it should be a straightforward thing but I can't find a way to do it short of copying and renaming files. Thanks, John

IFL files are the way to go. Read up on them in the manual and then use these commands… dir name*.tga /on/b >filename.ifl This will give you all your tga frames in a directory in increasing order and… dir name*.tga /o-n/b >filename.ifl … will reverse them for ya.

Thanks very much. I knew there was a way to do it. Cheers, John

Using 'DIR' is one way, another is MAKEIFL.exe. I think it comes with 3.0, if not it's here on the forum. The 'nice' thing about MAKEIFL is you can specify a start and end that's not necessarily the first or last frame. J-me
