Changing 1FPS to 30FPS
I made a three hour long recording of my desktop at 1FPS so that I could make a time lapse with it. The file was saved as a .mp4.
I’ve tried playing around with it in Sony Vegas, playing with Velocity Envelops, Compressing the footage, but it doesn’t seem to go fast enough / is still jumpy.
Is there a simple way that I can make it play 30FPS instead of 1FPS?

AFAIK, Sony limits time stretch/compress is limited to a 4x factor. You might need a utility like Vasst Fasst TimeWarp plugin. It can go much higher than 4x.
For me I am interested in the opposite. Getting 8x slow mo, again more than a 4x change. My GoPro can do 240fps and 8x would get me to 30fps. I have not gotten around to looking into how to do this yet.

Are you expecting something to interpolate the 29 missing frames so that motion looks smooth? I wonder what would happen if you nested the veg file with each level adding additional speed.

I just read that you can stack/multiply the playback rate and a velocity envelope. This can give you a 12x speed increase. Still not the 30x you seem to be looking for.

Sadly not. And I don’t really have the money to buy a plugin like that atm.
Could I maybe do something with an image sequence? Split the video-frames and re-render?

Use the combination of Velocity envelopes and compressing it to speed it up 12X.
Save this as a veg file. Lets call it timelapse.veg for this explanation.
Start a new project, import timelapse.veg and add it to the timeline.
To go from 12 to 30 is a factor or 2.5 so add a velocity envelope and set it to 250% (2.5X).
Render it out to the desired format.
Make sure to disable resample each time or things will get very blurry.
That’s all there is to it 🙂 -
The fastest way is Rocket Speed tool from Vegasaur https://vegasaur.com/rocket-speed , but it is a paid tool.
So, you better do what Mike told you.
