I installed the GoPro Cineform studio free software. It seems to have installed the codec such that my movie studio 12 can use it for AVI files. Should probably work for MS10 as well.

Yes, ComputerRGB is simply 0-255. StudioRGB is 16-235. The 16-235 range is a legacy thing from analog days that stays around and complicates things. Legacy messes with us, like the weird 59.94 color tv field rate. B&W was 60.
Color profile is something else and defined by the device. Color TV has a specific profile. HDTV has a specific profile. In the computer world sRGB was created because it matched typical computer monitors reasonably.
The color profile says nothing about the numeric range but rather the absolute range of colors the profile is capable of. Once you have the absolute range and you have your numeric range, aka 8-bit, a tone curve(gamma), then you can map what absolute color a number 50 means for example.

I just read that you can stack/multiply the playback rate and a velocity envelope. This can give you a 12x speed increase. Still not the 30x you seem to be looking for.

AFAIK, Sony limits time stretch/compress is limited to a 4x factor. You might need a utility like Vasst Fasst TimeWarp plugin. It can go much higher than 4x.
For me I am interested in the opposite. Getting 8x slow mo, again more than a 4x change. My GoPro can do 240fps and 8x would get me to 30fps. I have not gotten around to looking into how to do this yet.

After some more looking.
MS12 preview is better across the board in quality until you get to best then they are the similar. This is also true on 1080p30 type video. Just much less so than hires stills.
MS12 there is little diff from Draft to Good. All are quite good and visually similar. It appears MS12 might be taking advantage of the video scaling hardware that has been in cards since the 90’s.
VP12 seems to do all the work on its own, no hardware offload, and thus has issue with the hires files, and the huge difference in visual quality from preview, to good to best.
The visual quality diffs (prev,good,best) in VP12 are just different algorithms as expected. The hardware scaling is always the same algorithm, typically bilinear.
Still curious, and disappointing, that MS12 has much better playback quality and smoothness than VP12. Might have something to do with the split and multi-cam capabilities in VP12.
