If you push the line up to the 200% (2X) then the notch in the image above will be at the 30 second mark, so the clip is running at twice speed. If you push the line up, this will speed the clip up, BUT do look out for the NOTCH at the top of the clip, that indicates the clip is repeating at this point, so will you need to trim the clip from the right to the NOTCH. You can right clip the little square to get some presets and options. DO NOT use this to not show (remove) the line as it will reset it, use the VIEW menu “View > Show Envelopes” (CTRL+SHIFT+E) this will hide them and not reset them.Īs you can see in the image a above a line has been added and on the far left at the start of the envelope is a little square, that’s the first key frame. The standard procedure to adjust the speed of a piece of media is to right click the media and use the “Insert/Remove Envelope > Velocity”, this will add a green line on the media. To avoid this use the “Ignore Event Grouping” to prevent the sound change, you can re-lock after adjusting the speed. If your media has audio then the sound will speed up or slow down if the Video & Audio clip are locked together and the speed is adjusted.


I am going to use 1 minute of generated media for this tutorial, this has no audio but will make no difference to this tutorial. this is valid for most versions of Sony Vegas. You may want to slow or speed up clips for dramatic, romantic, pace reasons. In Vegas there are a few different ways to speed up clips and will run through those in this tutorial.
