trimmer – change playback speed?
I know I can proceed frame-by-frame, but then there is no audio.
If I want to analyze a video closely, it can help to play it at reduced speed.Since I want to save my markers and regions to the source file, and Sony’s API does not allow a script to “demote media markers” from the timeline to the trimmer / to the media files, I need to do my analysis and markup in the trimmer.
Is there a way / plugin / script / hack that would enable me to vary the trimmer playback speed?
If not, why not? Surely this would be helpful to many people.

The same playback rate features apply to preview playback and trimmer playback, and as usual in Vegas there are a bunch of ways of doing things.
You can set the play rate by dragging the small orange triangle below the “rate” slider, which is below the track headers panel. You can also right-click this triangle to set the rate.
You can also click in the trimmer to give it focus, then drag the double-headed arrows of the “rate slider” shuttle control.
If you use the JKL shuttle keys, try holding K while pressing L or J, and you’ll get playback rates if 0.25 and 0.5 instead of only 1 and greater. You only need to hold K while pressing J or L to start playback, then you can just press L or J to increase of decrease the playback rate.
Alternatively, get an external controller like the Contour Shuttle.

Thank you Matt. Excellent answer.
For some reason, setting the rate via the slider affects only my timeline, not my trimmer. That’s not a big problem – the JKL method works well.
