Vegas Pro Suite 22 - Smoothest 30 to 60/120fps Slow Mo?

Soniclight-2.0 wrote on 1/4/2025, 4:08 PM

Just upgraded to v.22 - I've been using Vegas since v.6, used v.10 the most, then went to v.19 but due to life and medical stuff, I have hardly used Vegas - my only NLE - during the last 7 or so years, except for a few music videos of my composition basically using one still image as placeholder.

Meaning I'm woefully out of step with what Vegas provides these days. I do have Boris Continuum (from my v.19 purchase so probably doesn't have newer bells and whistles).

I hardly have any 4K stock footage and since my target is YouTube, not important. Most footage is either older Storyblocks and now slowly collecting some Vegas Hub stock which are 30fps 1920p, some 2160p. Very few are 60fps.

My system isn't pro grade but decent (Ryzen 9 - specs below); if some extra muscle is needed to convert, it should be able to handle it easily.

Current project idea revolves around footage of a ballet dancer from Hub footage (a frame from one of those is shown above). Again, for one of my compositions that usually are no longer than 6 minutes.

So...

Aside from doing a double time stretch on-track, any other better, smoother ways for slomoing in v.22?

I'm sure there are now AI and such websites to do this, but I don't want to pay for something that can probably done just as well or better in Vegas.

Thanks.

Vegas has a slow motion Fx.

Thanks for suggestions but I can't afford things like Twixtor (USD $ 329.95) and the like such as Topaz Video bundle just to do slo mo. I'm asking for in-Vegas solution instructions how to do it. Or some plugin or such under USD $50.
