slowing down old 8mm footage

Is it FAST when you WATCH the DVD, or when you bring it into Vegas? Which one?

It looks the “same amount” of fastness on DVD and in Vegas. When I put a 50% velocity envelope on it, the motion looks much more natural, but there is a LOT of flicker.

You have to do it by eye to whatever looks right to you. Those old film ameras were usually either Hand crancked or run by a spring. Two of the same camera model could run at different speeds.

Can you describe the flicker? Try right clicking the clip on the timeline, selecting properties and checking dissable resample.

I absoultely hate Vegas’ atempt to resample missing frames when I’m playing with velocity or even say dropping 60p footage on a 24p timeline. Or I should say that I hate that resampling appears to be set to on by default and “smart” resample isn’t all that smart.
