alright i have a 20 clip of a moon rise over a beach that i want to speed up, but in Sony Vegas I can only speed it up to 4x the original rate, thus making the clip 5 minutes long, which is way to slow. Is there a way i could get it to be, say, 10 to 30 seconds long??

+K for good help! Thanks NS!

Just an idea, but you could speed it up 5x...create the clip save it them open up vegas again, drag that already 5x speed up clip and speed that one up 5x and then it should be faster....you could repeat that until you get the speed you want....

I duno it might work?

Some software has a time-lapse import feature.

I.e. it only imports every x amount of frames.
