Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Exponential Rate of Change

  • Exponential Rate of Change

    Posted by Daniel Hughes on April 25, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    Hi folks.

    So Vegas allows us to vary the rate of events by a maximum of 4x and a minimum 0.25x.

    Pretend these are diagrams of sine waves… apologies for their abysmal quality!
    I have this source audio wave:

    So I can do this, 4x faster:

    Or this, 4x slower:

    But can I do this?

    I’m looking to achieve an exponential rate increase or decrease, hoping there is some sort of way to do this in Vegas!

    Thanks 🙂

    Try this: Right click the video file, choose Insert/Remove Envelope. Apply the velocity envelope to the video event. Double click the line that appears to add a node to it. Double click again further down the line and place nodes wherever you want them. Click and drag a node to ramp up or down the speed of the video.

    Since I am not in front of my editing system right now, I cannot test to ensure that this will affect the audio, but I think it does.

    If you do not have a video event attached to the audio, drag a video file to the timeline and ctrl select both the video and audio and then press G on your keyboard to group them.

    Let us know if this worked for you.

    Ah that’s really cool! Unfortunately it didn’t affect the audio though :(! But I think that will come in useful for something I wanted to do with a video event!

    However, I did just remember a small Acoustica program I had about 4 years ago that allowed to change the velocity of audio… thanks for that Inception!

    Thanks a lot for that anyway! I’ll post here if I manage to do that to the audio in this little software encase anyone else needs to know.

    Yeah, anyone looking to do this with audio, download Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer. It’s shockingly simple software, but it will do this for you if you set the envelope to ‘rate’ 🙂

    You can do it by hand in realtime without using any 3rd party software.
    Here is how;
    Open a new project and load the audio as Track 1
    Add a new audio track and set it to Record mode.
    Add Pitch Shift Fx to track 1.
    Start Recording(*)
    Since Pitch Shift has no automation control, adjust the pitch by hand in realtime while recording…
    Set Track 2 to solo and render it as WAV to use in your project.

    Hope it helps.

    *(Your audio mixer must be set to record what it playbacks.)
