  2. Select your object and go to File > Export > Alembic (.abc). Make sure to select Only Selected Objects

  3. Go to File > Import > Alembic (.abc) and import your file you just exported.

  4. Select Override Frame and add a keyframe on frame 0, setting the Override Frame to 150. add a keyframe at frame 150 as frame 1.

  5. In the dope sheet (found in the Animation workspace tab by default), set the keyframe interpolation to Linear. Disable Only Show Selected button (is this a bug?)

  6. Enjoy your reversed animation!
