Boomerang segment
End time must be after start time, within the clip length.
Segments over 8s can take a while to render in the browser — consider trimming shorter for a snappier result.

Select a Specific Boomerang Segment
Select a Specific Boomerang Segment

Choose the exact portion of the uploaded video that you want to turn into a boomerang. The start and end controls let you isolate a short movement instead of processing the entire video.

Adjust the Clip Length
Adjust the Clip Length

Set the beginning and ending points of the selected segment to control how much footage is used. A shorter segment can create a quicker, more noticeable back-and-forth effect, while a longer segment captures more of the original movement.

Smooth Boomerang Mode
Smooth Boomerang Mode

The Smooth mode plays the selected segment forward and then backward as one continuous motion. It is suitable when you want the reversal to feel like a natural, continuous swing without a pause at either end.

Ping-Pong Boomerang Mode
Ping-Pong Boomerang Mode

The Ping-Pong mode plays the selected segment forward and backward while adding a short hold at each end. This creates a more pronounced bounce-back effect that can make short movements feel snappier.

Control Forward and Reverse Cycles
Control Forward and Reverse Cycles

Set the number of forward-and-reverse cycles using the Cycles control. This lets you decide how many times the selected movement repeats instead of producing only a single forward-and-back sequence.

Create and Review the Boomerang
Create and Review the Boomerang

After selecting the segment, mode, and cycle count, click Create to process the boomerang. The generated result can then be reviewed to check whether the movement, repetition, and selected effect look as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why does my boomerang repeat too much?

The number of cycles controls how many forward-and-reverse repetitions are created. If the result feels repetitive, reduce the cycle count and create the boomerang again.

Why does my boomerang feel too long?

A long selected segment combined with several cycles can make the finished boomerang much longer than expected. Try selecting a shorter segment or reducing the number of cycles.

Why does the movement look unnatural when it reverses?

The selected segment may begin or end at an awkward point in the movement. Try moving the start or end marker so the reversal occurs at a more natural point.

What happens if I select too much of the original video?

The boomerang will repeat the entire selected segment rather than only the movement you intended. Shortening the selection can make the repeated action more noticeable and focused.

What happens if I select a segment that is too short?

A very short segment may produce a rapid or abrupt-looking repetition because there is little movement between the forward and reverse points. Select a slightly longer portion if you need a more recognizable motion.

Why does my Ping-Pong result look different from Smooth?

The two modes intentionally produce different reversals. Smooth moves directly from forward to backward, while Ping-Pong adds a short hold at each end.

When should I use Smooth instead of Ping-Pong?

Smooth is better when you want the movement to flow continuously between forward and reverse playback. Ping-Pong is more suitable when you want the movement to appear to pause briefly before bouncing back.

What does one cycle mean in the Cycles setting?

One cycle represents one forward-and-reverse sequence of the selected segment. Increasing the cycle count repeats that sequence more times.

Why is the generated video longer than my selected clip?

The selected clip is used as the base movement, but the boomerang repeats it according to the cycle setting. Multiple forward-and-reverse cycles therefore make the final result longer than the original selected segment.

What if I accidentally set too many cycles?

A high cycle count can make a short movement repeat unnecessarily many times. Lower the Cycles setting and create the result again to produce a shorter repetition.

Why does my boomerang stop at an unwanted moment?

Check the end point of your selected segment. If the selection finishes before or after the intended action, move the end control to capture the movement more accurately.

Why does the beginning of my boomerang look incomplete?

The start point may have been placed after the beginning of the movement. Move the starting control slightly earlier so the complete action is included.

What if the important movement happens in the middle of my video?

You don't need to use the entire video. Move the segment controls to isolate the portion containing the movement you want to repeat.

Why does my boomerang repeat a section I didn't want?

The selected segment determines exactly which footage is repeated. Recheck both the start and end points and remove unwanted footage from the selection.

How can I make a subtle movement more noticeable?

Choose a segment that captures the complete movement and use an appropriate cycle count to repeat it. Avoid selecting unnecessary footage around the action because it can dilute the effect.

What should I check if the result reverses at the wrong point?

Check the position of the segment's start and end controls rather than changing the cycle count. The reversal occurs according to the selected clip boundaries.

Why is the processing taking time?

The tool has to generate a new video from the selected segment and apply the chosen boomerang mode and cycles. Processing time can vary depending on the source video and the amount of footage being processed.

What if I change the boomerang mode after creating a result?

Choose the other mode and create the boomerang again if you want to compare the effects. Smooth and Ping-Pong intentionally produce different forward-to-reverse behaviors.

What if the result is not the length I expected?

Check both the selected clip length and the Cycles setting. The final duration depends on how much footage you selected and how many forward-and-reverse repetitions you requested.

What should I check before creating my final boomerang?

Check the segment boundaries, clip length, boomerang mode, and cycle count before clicking Create. These settings determine which movement is repeated, how the reversal behaves, and how many times it plays.

How can I calculate the appropriate video bitrate?

Use our Video Bitrate Calculator to determine optimal bitrate settings based on your video resolution and quality preferences.

How do I add watermarks to my videos?

Use the Video Watermark tool to upload your watermark image and position it on your video for branding or protection.
