These things happen to everyone.
You suddenly perceive that the fourth bowl of Cookie Crisp was a bad idea. Or you’re faced with the realization that the question, “How many months along are you?” goes a lot smoother when asked of, say, pregnant women.
The point I’m trying to illustrate is that everyone has a moment where they wish they could turn back the clock. And while we don’t have revolutionary suggestions on proper colon health or how to apologize to vacant-wombed women, we can show you how to turn back time in Adobe After Effects.

This effect is handy in multiple situations. Here are a few applications to get you started:
- Rewind & replay potential “What if” scenarios for sermon illustrations
- Freeze a scene at a critical moment and green-screen an actor on top to break the situation down
- Combine with still shots to tweak timing interactions between 2 or more clips of footage
- Recreate movie-style “slow-to-fast” motion action shots
What about you? Do you have a list of “go-to” special effects or visual styles?
