Hi there,
What you can do is reverse all the layers except the rain layer which should be a separate layer. So, if you have a piece of footage playing forwards, and you want to reverse it, just open the
Duration column in the Timeline and set it to -100%. This will make the footage play backwards. Then put your
CC Rain effect on a separate
Black Solid layer on top. As long as the Solid Layer is black, you can use the
Add Blending mode to composite it over the layer below. This will knock out all the black pixels leaving you with the rain.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Angie
