If you render or nest, you can actually then use a velocity envelope that can speed it up to 1000%.

FWIW: I use ffmpeg for this when creating timelapses from longer videos.

You can conform your media to a higher speed using Shutter Encoder. In this example I have a 24fps media, a conformed 96fps media, and conformed 384fps media. Each is played back at 4x.

Note that conforming is an instantaneous process, it's not having to re-encode your video, also Vegas see's the 384fps media as 240fps, this is another limitation of Vegas, so I think the video at the end is probably playing at 4x240fps, not 4x 384fps

@Former user, based on the screenshot, they appear to be pictures...

I hope that this age-old problem will be resolved in the next update.

@pierre-k, @ARTURIUS The playback rate is simply limited to 4x. There are other ways around the issue, though.

In this case, it appears the timeline is full of photos. If each photo was half the length on the timeline, I believe it would "slow down" to the point trying to be reached.

Other options were also given above. the simplest might be to just render out the timeline of photos to a video file and then use a velocity envelope on it which can go up to 1000x.

Another option might be to import those images as an image sequence. Then they would be one frame per image. In that case, it might actually need to be "slowed down" to reach the desired point.

Bottom line, there are lots of options to achieve the desired results.

Yes, there are ways to do it differently. But other options are unnecessarily complicated if you want to speed up and slow down part of the video in several places.

I ask the Vegas team to finally raise this value to max. Thank you very much.

@pierre-k but that's a speed ramp example, for which you'd be using Velocity envelope and get speeds up to 10x like @jetdv said. Did you pick a poor example or can't Vegas so what we see in that video with simple Velocity speed ramping?

Yes, it is also possible with Velocity. But the habit is an iron shirt and I've been doing it differently for 20 years.

I had a car about 20 years ago where I always had to pull the starter flap (choke) when starting.
When this was no longer necessary with a new car, I sometimes caught myself for the first two years reaching with my right hand for the (non-existent) lever for the starter flap.
But since about 10 years I got used to it.
Eventually you get used to a new process - just try it.

Imho, Rocket Speed from the Vegasaur Toolkit provides a simple and fast solution.

I used to use Rocket Speed for Vegass 13 and loved it. Now I have Vegas 20 and the latest vegasur. I have 2 clips in the timeline. I select clip one and tell vegasaur 50 x. It does it. I select the second clip and tell vegausr 50 x and vegas crashes. I repeated multiple times, rebooted computer, made sure I have the latest updates. Anyone have suggestions. I am trying to take a year of video survelience and make a time lapse.
