Problem Description

When using the Define Actor Path tool, it appears that there is no option to set the camera to move in the reverse direction or move backwards along the path. Only a point in front of the camera can be selected

Steps to Resolve

It may just be that the direction of the arrow (to indicate the path) cannot be seen at certain zoom levels/orientation. Change the zoom level and try selecting a point behind the camera. See video below for a demonstration.
