Use a Velocity envelope. Right click on the video event and choose insert velocity envelope. By default, there is a keyframe at the start. Double click the green line (Envelope) at the end of the event. Then raise the end keyframe up and the start one down. See pic.

Here’s a link to a numerical clock counting on YouTube. You can download it by opening a new tab, go to “Keep Vid”, Google it, and copy the URL of the YouTube video and paste it in Keepvid where it says to. Click download. It may tell you it needs Java if your computer doesn’t already have it. Select the highest resolution available and it will download. Put this video on a new video track above the speeding up one. Then add a velocity envelope to it and match it to the other video that you put one in, then add a Chromakey effect to it. select black as the color to key out, then use event pan and crop to select only the clock in the video, then use track motion to size and place it where you want.

I tried enabling GPU in preferences/video tab but it only allows off. But when I render to Sony AVC mp4, the check Cuda button says Cuda is available and I can select it for rendering and I can see a difference in render speed. I’m curious why I can’t enable it in my project settings. Any ideas?

Do you have a system restore point to when it worked? I also make Windows System Image backups anytime I install a new program and the computer is still running very well. Acronis Program manager is a great backup tool as well.
If you use your PC on line or add new programs periodically, you need a good backup to recover from as problems that can arise are inevitable. Some problems can even disable your ability to use system restore. Making a backup to another drive is always good practice. Hears another free backup tool. I haven’t tried it but my father has and he says it works, even with USB3 drives where Win 7 System Image tool does not.

John Rofrono [The new ver. looks more like vegas].
Now that’s very interesting. I will def. look into that, might have to try OSX with the new FCX again.
Also the Similar Photoshop and Illustrator sounds interesting.
IF Vegas or FCX could Key like I do using this Technic in After Effects, I’d be a happy camper.
To me the biggest downfall with Vegas is the included chromakeyer is a joke. I saw your tutorail on Boris keyer and it looks great, but with full length body shots including feet, shadows have to be there to some degree, IMHO.

Angelo Mike , My surface Pro 3 came with Win 8.1 which I didn’t care for unless I remove the keyboard so I put Classic Shell on it for use with a keyboard. Check it out. It free too.

Here’s a preset that I use alot. Quality is very good and easier for computers to play as it’s mainly for internet use. I’m not sure if your ver of Vegas has it but it should.Just set the fps to 25 and the bitrate to constant, 14,000,000 which is a little less that your original video.

[Danny Hays]

What are the properties including bit rate is the original unedited video? And do they play in media player without issues? I’m not at my computer right now so I can’t look but what is the bit rate set to on the render preset that you are using? Also are these rendered videos for personal use or delivery?

[Danny Hays]

I believe GPU render was added with Vegas 11. You can try using just the CPU by selecting it if your rendering with a Sony AVC template. choose customize. at the bottom of the video tab is a drop down for encoding Mode. There’s where you can use CPU and or CPU.

I recently had that problem with Win media player, but I discovered I had its audio enhancements adjusted. Reset all back to no effect in is sounded fine. As far as the video issues, It sounds like your computer may be having a hard time playing them smooth, especially since you state it’s worse in VLC. You can test that by pulling the rendered files back into Vegas and set the preview to Preview (auto).I bet it will be smooth there.

John Rofrono,
As good as you are with Vegas, I would never though you would switch to OSX. I have a Mac mini with the previous OS7 I believe with FCP7 I think the version is. You can tell I’m not a Mac person. I did try OSX witch is the first 64 bit OS made for Mac, again I think. I was working with a guy who had OSX with FCX. The owner of the company wanted a better editor so I tried working with them. Now that you’re working with that, Maybe you can explain why I had so many problems. He had Sony cameras, MTS files but once he imported them into FCX it converted everything to mov files. Before I started working with them, the boss asked if I could work with external hard drives used on a mac with OSX. I had since switched back to my earlier Mac setup with the older OS and FC. I connected some of my drives to my Mac mini 32bit and they mounted fine. When I connected his drives to my Windows machines, Windows would not see them. I believe his drives were formatted as Journaled. We tried copying a few mov files to a non journaled thumb drive and I could get the mov files but they barley worked with Vegas 10. I had to get his cameras and retrieve the original MTS files to get anywhere. Also OSX look way to much like Imovie plus Maverics wouldn’t run my older ver of Protools which is why I went back to OS7 with FC7. Have you used any edited files from OSX in Vegas? If so, how did they work? If I could get the files and drive to be friendly with Windows too, I’ll try it again. Now with audio, I’ve tried Logic, Cubase, Protools, Acid and Sonar. Sonar is by far my favorite audio nle. I comes with alot of good quality effects. I still have to use the 32 bit ver because I have sample tank with thousands of great samples and it won’t run on a 64 bit machine. FCX exports as OMF I think witch can be imported into Protools and Logic, witch both can run on OSX. Do you use Vegas with files from FCX?

[Wayne Waag] I can either stream or use USB storage with my 2 year old Sony blu-ray player which plays the material flawlessly-

You sparked my interested. What do you use to stream it to your HD TV? I have a Chromecast, but I need an internet connection for it to work. At least to get it started. The last update for it allows for local cast and that works from my phones but with my laptops, I had to drag it onto a Chrome browser for it to work. I could then disconnect my internet and it would still play but not at 1080 60p. And once in a while I had to reconnect the internet to get it working.
