Hello,
just today I got a problem that is making me frustrated with vegas pro 15. I import my videos with a framerate of 238 frames per second, that is also the framerate I see when I check the properties on windows. When I right click the clip and look for its properties in vegas, the framerate has changed to 60 fps. The video also plays in 60fps. I don't know why vegas changes the properties of the clip. Thanks for your answers already.
I don't know any reason to go higher projectsettings than max 60fps, because I'm would not see any difference on each player with a higher framerate, but the max. in Vegas is 120 fps for a project.
So first you have to set the project to that max and add first such a file in Project Media.
After you did that right click that Project Media file and choose for "add at project framerate".
Your 236 framerate file showed after that in 2 times its real lenght on the timeline of that 120fps project.

I guess you get me wrong. It is not the projects framerate but the one of the clip. I want to do a timelapse that is why I need the clip to be at a high framerate. The problem is just that the program identifies the file as a 60fps video instead of what it really is. It is like inserting a 60fps file to vegas and inside the program it appears to be a regular 30fps clip. The properties of that file are different in Sony vegas than the properties of that exact same file on windows.
How did you create this file? To avoid problems I would ouput the timelapse at a normal cinematic framerate for use in Vegas. You can also add frames directly in Vegas.
Gameplay video capture? Certainly non-standard so not surprising if Vegas chokes on it.
In any case, it would be worth sharing a small file of this framerate so others can test, rather than doing anything drastic like a re-install (probably pointless). I would guess that even if Vegas reports 59.97, the frames are still there in the file.
FWIW, for timelapse you shoot LOW frame rate (e.g. 1 FPS) and then speed up in post; you shoot HIGH frame rate when you want smooth slow motion.
Thank you I will do that later
