What render codec are you trying to use? Some do not permit double frame rates. Try a Sony AVC Render Template. Then customize. Under frame rate, you should see both double NTSC and double PAL.
If all you are doing is simply cutting out a bit of the footage, you would probably do better with an editor such as VideoRedo or TMPGEnc’s MPEG Smart Renderer that supports smart-rendering. Vegas does not and will requite a complete re-render.

If you are using a Pro version of Vegas, the easiest way is through the use of scripts. Since much of my work involves relatively short events, I routinely use 6 scripts to move the cursor right or left 1/2, 1, or 3 seconds. The values can easily be changed to whatever duration you like. Then assign keyboard shortcuts to the individual scripts. If interested, I’ll upload the scripts to Dropbox.

If you can’t get it to reset, then I’d suggest a re-install. Make sure that you back up all of your presets. Shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Yes Graham, but as we know, one man’s nightmare can be another man’s ecstasy. I’m a firm believer in “less is more”–probably because I’m pretty lazy. Others may find such challenges exhilarating.

Hold ctrl-shift down and then double-click on Vegas icon. It will ask you if you want to reset to default values? Enter yes.

The short answer is “yes”. To move the text around similar to the video, it will require lots of keyframing of individual text events and also lots of patience.

I understand now. Since you DO want to slow down the motion, that is the reason for the high capture rate. Good.
The “slow down” that you have is really baffling, especially since it works OK for me. Try just one more thing. Close Vegas-restart and begin a new project. Then download the file that you uploaded to Dropbox and drag that file onto the Vegas timeline. When asked if you want to have the project properties match the file, enter “yes”. Now see if you are experiencing the same problem.
To me, this really sounds like something very simple has been overlooked. In any case, if the problem still remains, I would do a Vegas reset start where everything is set back to default. If that doesn’t work, I guess the next step you would a Vegas re-install. Good luck.

I agree with Steve completely. It’s either the file or something you’ve done. In this case, I have a suspicion it’s the latter since I have no problem with your file. I did a test render this morning and it looks the same as the original. Your rendered version, the slow one, appears that you have changed the playback rate to something less than one. Go to your clip on the timeline, right-click, and select properties. It should look like this.
You can reduce the playback rate to .25 and it will give you a slow motion effect. However, to see the entire video you must do a ctrl-drag to the right as far as it will go.
If you want normal playback, like the original, just make sure both the playback rate and undersample rate are set to 1.0.
One question. Are you designing your videos mainly for YouTube distribution? Both the original and rendered files have a frame rate of only 30 fps. At best, YouTube supports 60 fps. If that’s the case, there is absolutely no reason to capture at such high frame rates. (600 fps or even 120 fps). Captures matching your delivery frame rate should be the best. The quality of each frame will be the highest and it will put less burden on your system. Such high frame rates would be useful if you intend to produce “slow-motion” versions of your action sequence.

Works OK here. The imported clip at 600 fps looks the same as your original video on YT–not the slow version that you show on the 2nd clip.
It’s sort of odd to explain, but 600fps is useful for having it go to up to 5% speed without dropping frames,
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by this or quite frankly what you are trying to accomplish. Slow motion by chance?? You need to be more explicit.

Downloaded your file. According to MediaInfo and Vegas it is 600 fps, not 100 fps. ?? I also see that it was encoded using Handbrake. I changed the project frame rate to 120 fps and it really stuttered. After Disabling Resample, it played OK. By doing this, it just selects every 6th frame and does not try to create an interpolated frame. See if disabling resample for that clip helps. One other question–why 600 fps? Your bit rate is still relatively low (26.5 Mbps) , meaning you have much less information for each frame. Moreover, you cannot show anything greater than 60 fps on YouTube which, even at that frame rate is really dicey unless you have a very fast internet connection.
