Wanting chipmunk audio and fast video – help!
I have a project that I’d like to speed up the video and audio on. What I’d really like is to make it sound and look just as it does when I slide the speed playback to the right. Meaning – I want to skip a lot of frames and I DO want the chirpy chipmunk effect this creates.
Is there a way to do this without using the time stretching/pitch shifting plug-ins? Ideally an individual setting somewhere that will effect how the render handles everything? I’m using Vegas 5.
Thanks very much for any help!

Just wanted to mention that I tried grouping everything in the project, holding ctrl and shrinking it appropriately. This worked, except that the audio pitch shifted automatically to maintain the original pitch.
So… is there a way to turn off the auto-pitch shifting? Is there an even more elegant approach to this?
Thanks again for any help.

Right Click on the Audio part of the event. Select Properties at the very bottom of the list. The first tab – “Audio Event” – will have the “Method” for Time-stretch/pitch shift as being None. Click the down arrow and select “Classic”. Here you will be able to select all the variations you will need. Go with “Lock to strech” well here you will be squashing, not stretching. It is a great feature. I have been able to drop the pitch of a chap speaking so that he didn’t “sound” too squeaky and therefore he became more intelligible. LOL!

That’s it! There’s an option for “lock pitch change to stretch” in there. Provided that everything renders okay, my problem’s are solved! Thanks so much.

You should be okay . . test a small bit as a render – yeah?

Hooray! A quick test shows that it works. Phew! That’s a load of my shoulders!
Thanks!
