A real tape stop
Picture and sound slow to a halt together where the line ends.
Its own sound, backwards
The rewind is the clip's own audio reversed, so it fits its music.
A beat of silence
The last frame holds for a breath before the rewind.
Zoom blur into the cut
The held frame pushes in and blurs into where the video picks up.
Drop a stray word
Skip a word or two right after the cut.
Other cut backs
Record scratch, reverse swell, fade, bloom or a silence drop.

Tape stop rewind effect, answered
What is a tape stop rewind effect?
The video slows to a stop like a tape losing power, then rewinds fast to an earlier moment.
Does it use a stock sound effect?
No. The wind-down and the rewind are made from the video's own sound, so they match its voice and music.
Can I pick where it stops?
Yes. Name the line it stops on and the moment it rewinds to.
Will my video get shorter?
Only by the words you ask it to drop after the cut. Otherwise it stays the same length.
How much does it cost to make a tape stop rewind with Treza?
Treza runs on prepaid credits with no subscription. Each generation is charged at the model's own rate from your balance, and a failed generation costs nothing. A typical video generation settles around $1.06, and credit packs start at $5 and never expire.
Can I call this as an API instead of using the canvas?
Yes. Every pipeline can be published as a versioned HTTP endpoint. Call the typed /invoke endpoint with JSON in and JSON out, or point any OpenAI SDK at the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Swap a model on a node later and the API your product calls does not change.
Do I need to know how to edit video?
No. Start from a template, change the topic, and run it. If you do want frame-level control, the timeline editor is there with multi-track video and audio, per-clip trims, fades, and volume, but nothing about the automated path requires opening it.
