Simon, first, thanks for pointing to a new templates source that I had not ever heard of.
But, as a Vegas user for 12+ years, trust me when I tell you that inserting delays like you describe is going to be a time-consuming world of hurt.
Here’s how I would do this.
Finish the Montage project as-is. Put your images and videos in the selected places then save the project, call this montage.veg then render it to an intermediate file. I used Sony MXF in my test.
Open a new project.
Add the montage.mxf file to the timeline.
Add a new video track above the montage track. Put your insert video here.
Add a “velocity envelope” to the montage event.
When the montage track gets to the video that you want to slow to a crawl, double-click on the velocity envelope. Don’t change anything yet. Move the playhead (timeline cursor) to the end of the inserted video and double click on the Velocity Envelope on the montage track.
Drag a fade-in/out of about 1-second on the inserted video.
On the montage event with the cursor in the middle of the inserted video, double click on the velocity envelope and now drag it down to 10%.Hopefully, this image may help:
When you play this back you will see the montage frame with the video you want to slow down come into view, the full-screen of this video will fade in, then at it’s end it fades out and the montage below resumes it’s normal movements. Play with the amount of velocity slowdown to get the montage to be timed to resume its flow.
Good luck.

The screenshot doesn’t say much. Post the veg file without media.
BTW, there are no clips on the timeline – everything on the timeline is an event.

That’s your audio bandwidth. In DV you could record 2-channels at 16-bit (48K) or 4-channels in 12-bit (32K). Very few cameras supported the ability to record 4 audio channels.
In my Sony DV cameras it’s in the “Audio Mode” menu.

Did you ever install the K-Lite Codec pack?
What version of Quicktime do you have?
Did it ever work before?
Do other renders work with the same media?
What CODEC are you trying to render with? (MOV is just a container.) Alternately, what “Render As” template are you using?Steve Mann

My car won’t start. What can I do to fix it?
All snark intended, you ask a question that could have a hundred answers because you aren’t telling us anything about the project: What’s the source media, which “render as” template are you using, had it worked before, is GPU support enabled, do you have enough hard-disk space, have you recently changed any hardware, software or drivers?

Wow, am I red faced…
First, I know that Vegasaur has a powerful batch option because I’ve seen it, but I’ve never used it. I once used scripting in Vegas to batch render regions, but that was a long, long time ago.So, I thought that I should try the Vegasaur tools to render a few tracks in a test project. Sad to say, I was frustrated. Nothing worked according to the instructions (sorry Aleksy). I could not figure out how to add more than one job to the queue, and that was a veg file. Whenever I tried to add a track, the queue window remained blank.
So, I’ll defer to Aleksy – what am I doing wrong?

Jenny – Aleksey has, in my opinion, created an indispensable tool for Vegas users in Vegasaur. Yes, unfortunately, the documentation is very thin. On the other hand, just ask a question here and you will get prompt replies – usually from Aleksy. (If we could only get that kind of love from Sony…)
Also (Grazie, you knew this was coming)…
There are no clips on the timeline. Everything on the timeline is an event. If you search the help files or manual for “how to do something with clips on the timeline”, you won’t get any hits.
As in film editing, clips refer to physical media and are represented in the Project Media window. Events point to the clips in the Project Media. You can have many events on the timeline that reference the same media clip, but the timeline treats every event as a separate entity. You can apply different F/X to each event and never touch the media clip. It never gets changed by Vegas (which is the purpose of non-destructive editing). Also, for future reference, if you want to apply the same F/X to every event that uses a media clip, do it in the Event Media window one time.
Hope this helps.

Subclips don’t exist.
A subclip is just an in/out pointer to your project’s media. It does not exist outside of Vegas.Steve Mann

Grazie, I would like to know how you did this. The rain, though, is more of a waterfall than a rain shower.
