can vegas pro 14 actually render at above 60 fps?

so few days ago, i got a job to edit a short movie of my school short movie class, there is some scene that looks much cooler if it is in slow motion, but the main problem is the camera that used to shot that video only can shot at 25 fps, which is the main problem, so i rendered it to 60 fps, but even after the video rendered at 60 fps, it still kinda not smooth to be really slow motioned. then today tried to render it to 100 fps, but after i enter that numbers, the numbers just revert to 59.940 fps which is the double ntsc, so can it actually render at above 60 fps?

Also 200 or 1000 fps play with the same velocity.

For slowing down the velocity you have to use a velocity envelope or Ctrl-Drag

Which frame rate can be used for rendering depends on the render format you select. Some do conform common video standards which rarely exceed 60 fps.

But if your source video is 25 fps only, it won't get any better by rendering to anything else. Even rendering to 1000 fps (which is not possible with Vegas Pro) would not help getting a good result for slomos in the end. It would either repeat or blend frames.

Best you can do for smooth playback of slomos in Vegas Pro is to ensure resampling is enabled. This blends frames.

If your clips from the camera are 25 or 30 it is difficult to stretch them - but you may achieve something similar by playing with the Left Click + Proterties and then try to set Playback rate to i.e. 0.3 and Undersample rate to 0.1. or play with these numbers as you like (you may have to stretch the clip drawing the right border too. If you stretch holding down the CTRL key this will adjust the Playback Rate number)

It does not stretch smoothly - on the contrary - but maybe you can use that effect also.

you're better off shooting at high frame rates form the get go to get better results in the

end

The higher the FPS rendering the more frames you pack in, but that doesn't mean it plays back slower. If you have something that's recorded @ 200fps & want it to play back in slow motion, you play it back at less FPS to have it appear slower. IE 100 fps would be 1/2 speed, 50 fps would be 1/4 speed, etc.

You recorded at a lower FPS but want it to play back slower, so you do what Cornico said to lower the FPS. @ 25fps 1/2 speed reduction would be 12.5fps. You still render out @ 25fps, just slow down the playback speed of the event on the TL.

I was able to render out to 120fps in uncompressed AVI (Vegas 10). FPS are normally codec dependent, some codec's being meant for delivery of content so don't allow non-standard FPS rates.
