Could this be done in Vegas?

Been reading about the shooting of Domino, no, how they made the movie, not how the lady bought it!
For some scenes they went back to hand cranked cameras and ran them at roughly 8 or 12 fps and then step printed back to 24fps (I read that as duplicated frames).
Seems to me this should be fairly easy to duplicate with video. Apart from the frame rate, the other effect is very slow shutter speeds introducing large amounts of motion blur. So, OK, shoot say 25p in a Z1 and add 2 or 3 frames of MB, then ditch 1/2 or 2/3rds of the frames and duplicate them to get back to the correct frame rate. Thing is though is there anyway to get Vegas to duplicate rather than interpolate frames?

Turn off resampling.

This is done by disabling resampling.
As far as the cut frames, it's also possible to do this via scripting, but you'd have to have a specific idea of which frames you wanted to duplicate, or in what number of duplicates you'd like to have.

nevermind, Kelly beat me to the type.

Silly me, should know not to ask difficult questions late at night. One could just export an image sequence and then use some simple VB to delete files and then duplicate the remainder and import the sequence back into Vegas.

Hi Bob. If you set the clip properties' Undersample rate to 0.4 it will play back at 10fps and it appears to be duplicating frames in order to achieve it. With the addition of some MB, is this similar to the effect you are looking for?

THAT sounds like it, thanks.
