Speeding a clip more than 400%

Hello,

Is there any way to speed up a video clip more than 400%? This is the max Vegas will allow if I ctrl+click and drag, and when I use velocity envelopes, I can't increase the speed to more than 300%.

Thanks for any replies.

After doing what you're already doing, render to a new avi and start again.

Use both Ctrl-Drag and velocity envelope at the same time to get 12x speed. If that isn't enough then rendering to a new file and continuing to speed up the new file will work. Do that twice to get 144x speed, three times to get 1728x speed, 4 times to get 20736x speed, etc.

Thank you guys! I didn't realize I could use the velocity envelopes and Ctrl+Drag both, and that should work for me now. I really wish that they would update Vegas, though, and allow a simple dialog box for setting a higher speed, like in Premiere.

you can set what ever speed you need in premiere, render to avi and use in vegas; however,some color correction/matching will most likely need to be done.

Oh, I don't have Premiere. I used the demo before, but I didn't like it as much as Vegas, so I bought Vegas instead.

you might also want to check out the new scrpits that Spot posted about by Randall ,in a post a couple days ago called "cool scrpits". one of them allows you to speed up or slow down a clip any rate you want ,using a variety of methods.
