Why use Aback Video for this
Forward, then back
Your selection plays forwards, then in reverse, and repeats, for the familiar bounce effect.
Choose the moment
Pick the exact second range on the timeline instead of recording a new clip.
Speed control
1.5x and 2x make the bounce snappier, which is the classic look.
On your device
The boomerang is built in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How long should the selection be?
One to three seconds. Longer selections still work but feel slow, and they need more memory because the reversed half is built from decoded frames.
Is there sound?
No. Boomerangs are silent, like the original effect, because reversed audio rarely sounds good. Add music afterwards with Add Music to Video if you want it.
Can I post it to Instagram Stories?
Yes. The output is an H.264 MP4. If your source is landscape, run it through Resize for Reels and Shorts to make it 9:16 first or afterwards.
Can I get a GIF instead?
Make the boomerang here, then convert it with Video to GIF. The MP4 is much smaller, so keep it as video where the app allows.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The clip is processed locally with FFmpeg in WebAssembly.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, and it is quick because the selection is short.
