Super Slow Mo with Vegas 10.0
I currently have Sony vegas Platinum 10.0, and I have a camera capable of shooting 240 fps. When I stretch the video clips for slow-mo, I can only stretch it so for. Seems there is a limit. How can I slow the video more?
The only way I have found is to: stretch the clip, render the video, open the rendered video and stretch it again. This really distorts the video quality. Is there any other way? Thanks in advance.

The best way is to render to a lossless codec like Lagarith. Google it as it’s free. The drawback is the huge file size but that’s the price you have to pay.

You can use velocity envelopes in addition to the ctrl drag. I do believe that way you’ll be able to make use of the extra frames to get a smooth slo mo. If you’re only using ctl drag you’re limited to 1/4 speed – so if you render and slow it down again, you’re high frame rate is going to waste.

James, Ram is using Platinum which doesn’t have the velocity envelope option.

Yes, that is the best way without the velocity envelope. When you slow your 240fps footage to 1/4 speed, you will be at 60fps so obviously render out to a 60fps intermediary then bring it back in and slow it more if needed.
If you are doing everything else right and rendering to a high quality intermediate codec, there should be no visiable loss of quality.

I had Vegas Movie Studio 10 platinum, and I don’t remember it having 60fps output capability. My memory could be faulty.

Does Movie Studio support image sequences? You could export your video as an image sequence and then import it with the desired frame rate

If it is pro, what james says works fine. I used velocity envelope and rendered a super slowed down clip. Many times slower than Twixtor which does not work well in Vegas pro
