Support is certainly poor; Internet Explorer/Trident and Edge both support negative playback rates on desktop (I haven’t tested mobile) but do so by simply showing the key frames as they are reached in reverse, in my testing. Firefox, Chrome and Safari on desktop and mobile don’t support negative values at all AFAICT. I have notes here suggesting that mobile platforms don’t even support positive rates other that 1. -- James Ross <ja...@james-ross.co.uk>
