I want to take footage of say a football field that shows the sun go down and and the sky get dark ( speed the footage up really really really fast. within a few seconds) ( Day time to night time) In vegas is there any way to accomplish this or is there another method other than using large amounts of video do this. Any tips on this would be appriciated.

Thanks!

The best way, I guess, would be to capture the whole footage and drop onto the timeline. Right click the piece and select a faster playback rate from the event properties box. Render it and repeat until you have the speed you want. I think the max playback speed is 2.5x so it may take a few goes to get down to the time you require.

The best way is to select playback speed at the highest it will go - ALSO on the clip right mouse click and insert the playback envelop and set to 300%

thats the best way to do it. You can only go so fast without doing it this way. The only way a timelapse looks good is usually if its pretty sped up.

Good luck

Lucablue's is the better as its using both methods that vegas offers to speed footage up.
