How to speed up a certain part of a clip?

Hello, I am new to these forums and can not find the answer to my question anywhere. I make gaming videos, and I want to have 1 part of my clip sped up, to pass time quicker. I am using Sony Vegas Mocie Studio Platinum 10 NOT 11. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Place your cursor on the clip where you want the speeded up sequence to start (make sure the clip is highlighted) then press S. This will split the clip at this point. Place your cursor on the clip where you want your speeded up section to end then press S again. Make sure Auto Ripple is on then highlight the section that requires speeding up. Go to the end of it and grab the end using the left mouse button. Whilst holding the left button, press and hold the Ctrl key. Now drag the end of the clip left. You will see a jagged line indicating you are squashing the clip. How far you drag the end depends upon how fast your section needs to be.

Hi, thank you so much for helping out.

Highlighting not necessary.

However, if you highlight first, pressing S will split both ends in one step.

Hi Chienworks
Terminology confusion. By highlighting I meant making sure that the clip was selected. S doesn't work if it's not selected. I presume you mean selecting a loop region then pressing S splits the clip at either end of the loop region. If that's right, I've learnt something, thanks.

Same as above. But alternatively instead of mouse dragging you could select the part to be sped up and adjust Play Back rate in its Properties.
