To make reversed audio for CapCut, record in SingBack, save the reversed sound through its sharing controls, then import that audio into your video project. This keeps sound reversal separate from whether your footage runs forwards or backwards.
CapCut's controls vary between phone, desktop and web versions. Its official reversal guide describes workflows involving video clips and audio extraction. The workflow below starts with a new voice recording in SingBack.
1. Record the sound in SingBack
Get SingBack for iPhone or Android. Record a short phrase, stop, then listen to both the original and the reversed version.
For a reverse singing reveal, first record a reference and learn its backwards sounds. Rehearse with slower playback and looping, then record your imitation. Play that imitation backwards to hear the result.
A new take replaces the current one in the app. If you want to keep the reversed reference, share it before recording the imitation. Our step-by-step tutorial covers the performance itself.
2. Save or send the reversed audio
Use Share Reverse for the current reversed recording. Choose a compatible file-saving or sharing destination on your phone, or send it to the computer where you edit.
SingBack shares audio, not a finished video. Locate the saved file before opening your editor so you know which take you are importing.
You can practice the challenge in your browser before recording a take in the app. Browser recordings are temporary and cannot be exported or transferred into SingBack.
3. Add the audio to CapCut
On desktop, create or open a project, use Import to bring in the saved audio, and place it on the timeline alongside your footage. CapCut documents this basic workflow in its audio recording guide.
On a phone, use your version's audio import or device-file controls. Names and available file sources differ. If your version cannot access the saved file, transfer it to a computer and use desktop import.
The file is already reversed. Listen before applying another reversal: reversing the same unchanged audio twice restores its original order.
4. Make the reveal easy to follow
Show the phrase you are trying, the imitation, and then its backwards playback. Place the imported audio at the reveal, followed by your reaction.
If your camera footage already contains the same sound, mute or reduce that section's original track to avoid hearing competing audio. Preview the whole video before exporting and check that the reveal is not cut off.
The finished video is created in CapCut when you combine the audio with footage.
What if you already have an audio file?
SingBack records from the microphone; it does not import existing files. Our web tool can preview a short file backwards but does not export it. To save a reversed version of an existing file, use your editor's documented reversal and export workflow for the version you have.
