Clip Playback Properties Question

[Tolwyn]

I have Vegas Movie Studio, VirtualDub, etc.
Currently, I'm capturing older Hi8 stuff using Canopus' ADVC100 capture box.

Vegas Movie Studio allows me, per clip, to slow down or speed up a clip. The problem is, the speed up is only 4x.

What steps do I need to do to the AVI to get it to playback really fast (for effects, time lapse, etc.)?

How would I get a clip to play in reverse?

Well with AVISynth something like:
speed up 100X:
SelectEvery(100,0)
assumefps(original fps)

and for reverse:
reverse()

[Tolwyn]

Eh?

Speed it up 4x, save, reload, speed it up 4x again, save, reload...

[Tolwyn]

reboot... there has to be some filter out there that can work with Vegas for time envelopes?

I don't want to lose quality by compressing the stream over and over again. ??

Is there nothing out there that can look at every 'n' frame, extrapolate motion and such to the next 'nth' frame; write out a new stream that would be played back at 29.x FPS for the project?

I looked at Twixtor, but I don't think it works with Vegas...

[celtic_druid]

Well in my example it selects every 100'th frame and then changes the framerate back to 29.x FPS.

Thanks, Celtic. I'm just completely AVISynth ignorant. I'll try to work with it. Is it working in conjunction with VirtualDub?

[celtic_druid]

It can yes. It is only a frameserver, so you need something to encode with. Should be able to get the AVS into Vegas though if you want.
