you cut the keyframes.

Using the Time-Reverse Keyframes keyframe assistant
For any property in a layer, you can select a range of keyframes and reverse their order. For
example, you can reverse keyframes in the Position property to reverse the motion of an
object. You can select and reverse keyframes across multiple layers and properties, but
each set of keyframes for a property is reversed only within its original time range, not that
of any other selected property. Markers in the Timeline window are not reversed, so you
may need to move markers after reversing keyframes.
Original property values
Scale property values reversed using the Time-Reverse Keyframes keyframe assistant
To reverse keyframes:
1 In the Timeline window, select a range of keyframes you want to reverse.
2 Choose Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Time-Reverse Keyframes.
For information on reversing the direction in which a layer plays and changing the order
of the keyframes, see “Reversing the playback direction of a layer” on page 225. For infor-
mation on reversing the direction in which a layer plays without changing the order of the
keyframes, see “About time-remapping” on page 226.
