My sped up clips won’t render!
Whenever I speed up clips on Sony Vegas 8 more than about 1.2 (playback rate) it works fine on Vegas itself, but when I come to render the clips the screen just goes black in those sections. If I speed them up less than about 1.2, they do render, but only if I select ONLY that clip, I can’t render multiple clips (even if those other clips are normal speed). I’m really stuck, can anybody help?

What technique are you using to speed up the clips?
-
Um, I just hold down Ctrl and drag the clip across the timeline to make it longer.

Um, that would make it slow motion rather than speed the clip up.

OK Im going to assume that you control/drag shorter in order to speed the clip up.
You are saying that if you have multiple events (Sonys term for clips)on the same time line and you speed up an event and then close the gaps that shortening the event would create, that the timeline will not render correctly? (What are you rendering too?)(What type of file is on the timeline?) Can you post a screen grab of a timeline that won’t render?

Yeah, I’m sorry. Shorter is what I meant. My mistake.
Whilst putting together an example so I could get a screen shot, I realised that it works fine with .wmv format. I’ve been rendering it into .wmv, too. It’s .avi that I have a problem with, it seems. That’s what doesn’t work, and then when I tried to render the events into .avi format, I still found the same problem. The screen goes black in the place where the sped up clip should be. I went on and experimented a little to find out exactly where the problem lies, (which I should have done before posting the original post, I know). I found that even if I have no accompanying events, a clip will not render (well, it will render, but when you watch it, the sped up clips just aren’t there. The screen just goes black in those places). Whether or not there are other clips is irrelevant (sorry for the confusion). Um… hope that makes sense. Here’s my rant in clearer form:
-Any clip, accompanied or not, will not render if it is above 1.1(ish) playback rate.
-.wmv format clips are fine, they work ok.
-.avi format clips will not render (the majority of the footage I use is in this format).
-I usually render it into .wmv format, though the same problems occur if I render them into .avi.Hope that makes sense.
