Time reverse but keeping credits going forwards?
Hi. I've got my timecode counting down great and my credits look great too, but the time reverse applied to the timecode now means my credits run in reverse too. Is there a way to fix this or am I trying something too complicated?
Thanks for any help.

Ok you need to nice the time code to it's own Composit shot then apply the backwards, you can then embedded this comp in your credit comp.

Thanks Andy - sounds complicated but I'll get on to it now.

Right click on time code layer and say make comp, and move effects. Done

Ok Andy,
I've got a composite shot with counting down timer. I followed a YouTube video that showed putting a grade layer for countdown and then applying a demult key (my preview screen hasn't gone checkered though, so not sure if this bit worked).
Anyway, how do I get this composite into my existing credits composite shot? I've made the timer the same length so it should fit fine.
Thanks, Andrew

The new comp should be listed on your media bin as a comp. Simply drag it onto the layer stack of the credit comp. Put it on the top of the layer stack and it should show up nicely, it might need the blend mode changing to add or screen. Right click on comp in layer stack to see the blend currently set.

Thanks Andy - it's showing perfectly now.

Great news, welcome to the power of nested Composit shots.
