This was answered the last time you asked. The only thing I can add is that if your camera has the ability to shoot one frame at a time, then you can just set it on a tripod and shoot one frame every minute or 30 seconds or whatever will give you the speed you want. This can be faked in Vegas, using the 'time'stretch' feature. You will have to shoot quite a length of video, so that when it's sped up, you'll have enough for the job. When you see that really fast moving sky stuff, like on the History channel or whatever, some of that is a whole afternoon of shooting and compressed to a few seconds (watch the shadows on the ground). If you want your actors or subject to move in real time against that backdrop, you need to learn 'Chroma-keying'

Guess I missed the last time this was asked. So...if the question is about time-lapse, ignore my answer.

I may have misunderstood the question too, and that's why he's asking again. But I looked it up in the search and he got quite a few different responses. If I got it wrong, please supply more detail.

" . . u know what i mean?" . . .er . . nope - not now! Put it another way please,

Grazie

Unbelievable. I just went to look up his original post and now it's completely gone. It was even titled "How do you make moving skys". Can you erase your original posts?

TheGr8Steve - 'ere yah goes!


Grazie

He didn't acknowledge any of them that time either. :)

jaegersing - can you/we/I " (Ignore This User) " to ourselves? Only a thought . . .

Well, I guess it's still there. I may have had the title wrong, but I used the same words to search with (moving sky) and it didn't come up, the next few times. I've always been retarded when I use search engines. I somehow always use the wrong words to find what I need. Doesn't make sense to me. Just makes me look stupid. I was so happy when I finally discovered this forum, but now I realize that there's a lot of real 'Brainiacs' here and I'm still fairly new to computers in general, let alone video editing. So I really hate it, when that kind of stuff happens. Time for some more 'Crow' pie. (when I saw the 'delete this message' option at the bottom to the screen, I assumed..blah blah blah. Yes I know what happens when you assume.)

Reading my 1st post wondering what happened to his original post, I see that I may have used the word SKYS. which only added the s. (and is mis-spelled). But that's the kind of luck I have with search engines. (Just checked again, and that's exactly what happened. As soon as I typed in 'moving', the old lists popped up.)

Mmmmmmmm. Delicious crow.

Thanks a lot guys buit it seems impossible for me because i am fairly new

Here's another approach:

1. Fix the camera and shoot the footage - say one hour. (if more required and camera only takes one hour at a time, change tapes and later do a cross dissolve from one clip to the next ...

2. Capture the clip and place it on the Vegas timeline.

3. Hold Ctrl and drag the right hand end of the event leftwards - this will speed it up by a factor of four... 1 hour now = 15 mins

4. Right click the event and select Insert Envelope > Velocity. A green line will appear. Drag this to the top of the Event - this increases the speed a further 3 x making 12 x in all.

5. The current clip is now your original clip repeated 3 times. Drag the right edge until it reaches the small "v" indicating the end of the original clip. 1 hour now = 5 mins.

6. If you want further speed increases, render what you've done into a new clip and start again ....
