I'm using Vegas pro 15, and I don't like how high the velocity goes. For example, in Vegas 13 and under, the velocity only goes to 300. Thanks in advance for anyone who helps!
There are 2 possibilities for speeding up or down a video event in 15 and 16
1 By dragging the end of an event with hold Ctrl up to 4 times slower or faster
2 By using a velocity envelope up to 1000% speeding up and to 0% slowing down from the original. For exact using this,its needed to widen the track your working on.
p to 1000% speeding up and to 0% slowing down
In fact it is down to -100% so it i will be in reverse.

100 % original minus 100% slowing down rests in 0% for a result. (100-100=0)😊
Sorry for my awful english.
Doesn't percent mean multiplication and not addition or subtraction?
So 0% speed means original speed x 0, say still picture, while -100% means original speed x -1, that is the original speed in reverse direction. Am I wrong here?
That's correct. Velocity Envelope goes down to - 100 % which means revese playback.
But I think GingaaaNinja meant something different – if he never needs 1000 %, is there any way the set the highest level available to something lower (say 400, 300, 200 %)?
I doubt there is a way to do this, at least I didn't fine one, not even in the internal preferences.
Whenever I put a media in my project, and right click / properties / conform to project framerate, a velocity envelope is automatically added, but with a 300% maximum. I need to remove the envelope, and add it back if I want to go ebove 300%. I think that's a bug (noticed it in V15 but also there in V16), but for th OP this would be a convenient way to add a "limited" envelope.
I guess he aims for a better handling when mouse-dragging the envelope which indeed is fuzzy when the highest level is 1000. Mouse-dragging while holding Ctrl pressed might help a bit.
I used to make the track "higher", and when need to finetune, right click the point on envelope. Set to: and enter the value. That's accurate enough 😏
Ctrl-drag the point is weird, because it works the reveres as I'd expect. Alt-drag works however, if I need to move the point along time axix only.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, also is english not my native language.
I was in my answer speaking of speeding up and slowing down what I was thinking OP was meaning in the first post.
Speeding up goes for me from 100% - 1000% and slowing down from 100% - 0%.
That the velocity envelope goes further down from 0 % - minus 100% is not slowing down but going in reverse and that has nothing to do with what I was trying to point out.
right click the point on envelope. Set to: and enter the value. That's accurate enough 😏
Good catch, I think this is the best answer for OP:
Double click on the envelope and than rightclick and make your choice
