ok, thx! this is what I am doing, I import the hour clip into timeline, i velocity x3, snap to the tiny arrow, cntrl-click to the shortest it will go… save the veg… reopen a new vegas, drop that veg into timeline, repeated the steps until the desired 1 minute speed, and render…

this should be the most efficient way, no double encoding, which means faster and no loss in a double encode… right?

thx!

Mike, thank you so much, finally ‘get it’ 🙂 My next q if you would indulge me, would to explain in greater detail how to take a 120 minute shot and make it 1 minute as well. You explained the usage of a nested veg but I don’t quite understand the process…

So, i take my 120minute file and speed it up 12x… which mean its a 10 minute file now… If i re encode (i am encoding 1080pwmv files at 10mb bit rate) that file I imagine it will just be twice as lossy but you mentioned a way to not lose any more quality?

Anyways, that is what I want to do, you detailed explanation is totally appreciated 🙂

Hi Mike, thank you for your response but man, I am pulling my hair out on this one! lol… ok, here is exactly what I am doing (wrong) and please tell me where I am just.not.getting.it!

1)import 12min mp4 file and add to timeline
2)one in timeline, right-click in blank part of timeline and select velocity envelope
3)now added to time is a green line in middle, drag upwards to where it reads “velocity at 12min is 300%”
4)goto right side of clip, control-left click until a box, with dual arrows and a squiggly line underneath it appears and drag as far left as it will go (which only goes to 3minutes and stops!)
5)render clip and it is 3minutes long 🙁

So, what am I missing lol!

thank you!

Hi, I am a vegas pro 9 noob… I am having some problems with replicating what you have stated in this forum, specifically the envelop/velocity process…

Source file is 12 minutes, I want to speed it up to 1 minute..When I cntrl-lick on stretch all the way to the left, I get a 3 minute file or so… I then add a velocity envelope, thrust it up words to 300% and the file is still 3 minutes, I get no difference when using velocity

If you could, lay out a step by step process for a noob explaining how to make a 12 minute file, 1 minute it would greatly be appreciated!

thx,
riz
