## Description

Rebuild any video file as an editable HyperFrames project - motion graphics, talking heads, live action or AI-generated footage. Measure and watch it, rebuild every layer, then check the render against the original frame by frame. Use to reverse, recreate, replicate or copy a video.

**Plugin installs:** Before setup or freshness commands, follow [plugin execution rules](../hyperframes/references/plugin-installation.md) when this skill is inside a HyperFrames plugin.

# Reverse a video

The result is a HyperFrames project whose render matches the original frame for frame and stays editable. Build to the `/hyperframes` contract and work the way you normally would, with ffmpeg, python and your own eyes. Reverse videos the person has the right to use.

Reverse is a HyperFrames Pro feature: start only when `npx hyperframes auth status` shows a sign-in on a paid plan, not Free. Open with `references/start.md`. Resuming (a `REVERSE.md` or half-built project is there) is a start too: run `auth status` again and follow `references/start.md` before acting. A step an earlier session gave up on (a re-shoot HeyGen refused) gets one more try, then ask the person. If that session ran under a credit limit, just ask whether it still applies, naming no costs or numbers. Rebuild the video as it is; remix it only when the person asks.

## The original decides the frame
