thing!
I'm not sure if anyone else will find this relevant, but it's been bugging the heck out of me, so I figured I'd post the solution I discovered.
I use iMovie on OS9.
The thing that's been bugging me is: when I reverse the direction of a clip and then do a cross-dissolve with another clip, the reversed clip gets a jig in it--can't think of a better way to describe it. Where the motion is going backwards-blip forwards-backwards.
Well, that reversed clip needs to be rendered and not just clip x reversed. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do that in iMovie. What I did was do an effect to the reversed clip (my effect of choice is a slight increase in contrast) and then commit to the effect. Then the effect is not shown as reversed anymore because it's its own clip. And it doesn't jig when cross-dissolved. Yay.
I am clever.
