increasing speed in vegas platinum 11 repeats video

[Joe White]

The studio version of Vegas is very limited for what you are trying to do. You are basically going to have to render out the 4x sped up video and bring it back into Vegas. Rinse and repeat as needed.

In Vegas pro you have the envelopes to max out the speed to 12x, and then you can nest .veg files to get to 144x, 1728x etc.

[chandan prakash] “well, I am finding it too difficult to incrase speed using vegas 11 platinum because it’s behaving in a weird manner… which works ok to slow down video but when I am increasing video speed, say by 4 times, vegas adds the same clips again and again in the final rendered file for the duration of original clip..”

Actually, it’s not weird when you think about what you did. You changed the playback rate of an event but you didn’t change the length of the event. So you said, “make my video play back 4x faster but make it last the same amount of time” in which case Vegas had no choice but to repeat the video 4 times to fill up the length. Try shortening the event 4x.

What might make more sense to you is if you Left Mouse Click Ctrl+Drag the right end of the event. This will make the event shorter and speed it up by the same amount.

[chandan prakash] “what I really want ?? I have close to 10 minutes of video clip of a sun rise on a peak. now I want to speed up the footage so that whole scene completes in 22 seconds approx.”

From 10 minutes down to 2 seconds is roughly 27x speed up. As Joe pointed out, Vegas Movie Studio can only speed up 4x so you will need to speed up the event 4x. Render it. Drop it back on the timeline and speed it up 4x again (16x). Render it. Drop it back on the timeline and speed it up 1.7x again to get to 27x.

thank you very much. someone advised me to use ctrl key and decrease the length which worked. then I followed your suggestion to repeat everything all over again.. thank for your help.

well if a video clip is say 10 minutes duration and I am asking vegas to run it at 2X then I think it’s obvious that I want clip to complete to complete in 5 minutes… or am I missing something… ???

actually someone suggested me to decrease the even time by pressing ctrl key and drag video.. which is basically what you suggested.

anyways thanks for your suggestion. I repeated t 4x twice to get a video approximately 1 minute long.

That may have been obvious to you, but when I change a parameter, I don’t expect other things to change that I didn’t ask for. Vegas does not modify the length of an event unless you take the edge and drag it. Modifying any other parameter assumes you only want that parameter to change.

[chandan prakash] “actually someone suggested me to decrease the even time by pressing ctrl key and drag video.. which is basically what you suggested.”

Yea, I don’t know who suggested that but that’s what you should be doing to get the effect you want.

Hi People, thanks for your posts, the information really help. I don’t understand what is to “nest .veg files”, how can you accomplish this task? thanks for the solution Joe. Have a good day 🙂

[nicolas ferretti] ” I don’t understand what is to “nest .veg files”, how can you accomplish this task?”

That can only be accomplished with Vegas Pro. Movie Studio doesn’t support this. If you have Vegas Pro you can drop an entire project into the timeline of another project by it’s .veg file and it will behave as if it were a single piece of media. This is called “nesting”.

Since this post began, Movie Studio Platinum 12 has been released and it supports new plug-ins called “FasstApps” and one of them is called TimeWarp which will let you speed up a clip up to 10,000x right on the Movie Studio timeline.

In the interest of “full disclosure” I developed TimeWarp and the other FasstApp plug-ins. 😉
