Place the cursor on the right edge of the clip, the pointer will change to a box with a double-headed arrow. Hold the Ctrl key down as you drag the end of the clip to the left to speed up the clip or to the right to slow it down. If the audio & video are still grouped, this will change the speed of both in sync. Unlike velocity envelopes, you can only have a constant speed. However, also like velocity envelopes this does allow the audio speed to be changed.

Also, I don't know if you want audio to be altered in the process but don't forget this "preserve pitch when stretching audio events" switch under Options/Preferences/Editing tab...
Wether you end up with squirrel-voices or not depends of this switch !

Thanks, I was also wondering if i can make the audio sound slow as well...like in that really low deep voice kind of like you get in video factory.....also um..is the audio file suppoed to echo when you make it longer? because tahts what its doing

Setting the audio clip's properties to "change pitch and length" will lower the audio pitch when stretching it just like slowing down a tape recorder. This is probably what you're after. If you "preserve pitch" then Vegas has to interpolate extra samples to make up the time and if you stretch far enough this will start sounding like an echo.

thank you for all your help.......1 more question i have...is there a way I can have the clip i want to play backwards? like it play in reverse

You can reverse the video with a velocity envelope set at -100%, but velocity envelopes only apply to video. You'll have to export the audio track into SoundForge, reverse it there, and import it back into Vegas.

For that deep low voice, you can also use the "pitch shift" fx on audio track...
