That won't work, since Vegas Movie Studio doesn't have envelopes like Vegas Pro.

<p>I have set the clip playback speed to 4.000 (to run at 4x the orginial speed) as show below. </p>

<p>This is as high as the software allows. I would like to go further, perhaps as much as 12x as fast.</p>

Is it possible to speed up footage by more than 4x in Sony Vegas Movie Studio?

The only workaround I know of is to:

1. Speed up the footage by the desired amount (in this case 4X)
2. Render the clip.
3. Import the clip
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until satisfied.

This isn't ideal as repetitively rendering the clip repeatedly is fairly time consuming.
