Using Movie Studio 14 Platinum - I want to take a 6 minute driving segment and compress it into a 10-20 second segment. I seem to have lost the help menu somehow, when I hit F1 nothing happens.
Not directly possible in VMS14, in VMS you can only speed up to max 400%. This means a 6 min event can be speed up to a max 90 sec event.
... in VMS you can only speed up to max 400%
A possible solution is to apply the 400% speed up to the original video event, render it and then apply the 400% speed up to the render. Cumulatively, that's a 16x speed up which will result in a 22.5 seconds video from the original 6 minutes.
Re the User Manual, if you go to My Products in your MAGIX My Account, you'll find the listing for your VMSP14 purchase. One of the download options should be 'Get Instructions', If there, it will download the user manual for you.
Thank you everyone for your helpful answers. In the end, I just took a shorter clip to speed up (15 sec) and sped it up to 4 seconds, this was a driving sequence, so it worked quite well, looked like an F1 car making the corner. Meantime, I have found just using Google provides many answers as well. I will also take the advice of Dexcon who mentioned how to download the manual. Cheers.
