  Slow Motion help, getting strobe echo type effect instead?

  Posted by Tyez on March 10, 2007 at 2:33 am

  Hey guys,
  I am trying to use the slow motion effect in V7c, I just hold ctl and drag the clip to slow it down. However I get like a strobe effect instead of a smooth motion. The audio too sounds like the six million dollar man effect. What is it I am doing wrong? Do I need to select soemthing else here? Also then when I save the rendered effect to bring back on the timeline to then slow it down some more it really gets worse. The audio appears to double it self like an echo effect.
  Thanks for you help.
  I am so frustrated.

  Google search revealed this very fine info on your problem.
  Thanks to the author.

  If you find that your slow motion exhibits flicker, you can enabling the Video Bus track (in the View menu), adding a Motion Blur envelope, and setting it to somewhere between 2-4. You can also try right-clicking on the event, select Properties, and click on reduce interlace flicker. Don

  The same way you shorten or lengthen a clip (with the bracket) except you hold down the “ctrl” key while doing so.

  you can use a velocity envelope to control the speed of the clip or you can use the playback properties.
  They all do the same job.
  Vegas generally has at least 3 ways to do any 1 thing.

  Ok so I went back and tried slow motion in my friends Premiere Pro and wow what a difference. I am either going to do all my slow motion there then use Vegas for everything else or considering the switch. It really frustrates me that much that I would consider this. Considerign I have a big project comign upt he relvoves around slow motion.
  PS
  I tried the tips in this thread and I got no better then before.

  Well for audio you will be out of phase if you go over 15 to 20% time stretch you are basically chopping the audio file in blocks spreading them appart and whatever is in between those blocks gets filled with estimated samples there’s only so much you can do when you time stretch an audio file
