Actually if you press J one time from 100% speed, it will pause (0% speed) then it plays backwards.

<p>Is it possible to change the speed of Premiere's playback of the video without altering the speed of the produced version? Even if I could play it only 1.5x faster, it would mean a lot of time saved in the long run.</p>
