The easiest way to do it is to place the cursor on the edge at the end of the event; it will turn into a double-headed arrow in a box. Hold the Ctrl key down while dragging the edge out. This stretches the clip out longer and slows it down at the same time. The more you stretch, the slower it will play. You can shrink the clip as well to get fast motion.

I just want part of the clip in slow motion without the audio. I know how to split it but how do I remove the audio just on the slow motion part without removing the audio of the whole clip? I tried it after splitting but everything is removed.

If you split the entire clip, both audio and video, then you should be able to delete just the one audio portion without affecting antying else. I haven't used VideoFactory in a while, so maybe the grouping behavior is different from Vegas. What else is getting deleted when you try to delete the audio? Is it the video part of the clip as well? If so, then click on the audio part and type U for ungroup first, then delete it. If it's the rest of the audio from the other parts of the clip, then you haven't split the audio.

Thank you. I got it working now. I used DELETE to del the audio on the slow motion part only. Before, I went to INSERT/AUDIO ENVELOPES/VOLUME to remove the audio, I was wrong. Thnx again.

Nahhh, not wrong. Not at all wrong. There's tons of ways to do things with SonicFoundry's software and usually no one right way. Some of them are just easier and more useful in some situations that in others. I'm sure you'll find times when the envelopes do exactly what you need. :)

I tried to do slow motion this way, but I can't get the double-headed arrow in a box. Are there other settings that are necessary to enable this?

scharme, you have to hover curser in centre at edge of event and that's when it shows double-headed arrow. Or maybe the event you're selecting is too thin for the resizing tool to show. If so try stretching the timeline to stretch the event to let you do this (this shows the events stretched without actually affecting events).

Laz, sorry mate, but maybe confusion might set in using "streching" timeline as well as "stretching" clip yeah? - Soooo... scharme should "expand" the Timeline. But yes , in principle that's the way to do it - a la Punch 'n Judy!

Humble regards

Grazie

No, you're absolutely right, Grazie. I even confuse myself sometimes.

Cheers.
