What are your rendering setings? Because if you rendered uncompressed, it would explain the problem: file is too big for your computer to handle it in real time. If you compress it, with xvid or .x264 as an example, it should be ok.
Alcohol is the answer, but I can't remember the question!

Wow... yea that was another problem. When I finished rendering them as an AVI, the file sizes where pretty large. Like a 1min clip would be 42 mb : / and my movie is going to be about 5-6mins long so this is going to be a BIG problem. I wont be able to stream this anywhere.
I've tried to fix this problem myself. 1 problem that I "did" fix is those horizontal lines that would show up on the AVI. I use DivX as a compressor.. I think? The only thing that I "dont" compress is the songs because I want the best quality, but I dont know which option I should use. Also is there a way to turn the brightness alittle higher when the video is completed?
So my problems are:
- sync abit off after rendered as an avi
- frames are slow and choppy
- File is way too big as an AVI.
- Brightness on the video is low.
How do I fix it?

Compress your audio, especialy if the source is mp3, you should compress it using mp3 (get the lame encoder, it is a dll, google will find it for you). The difference in quality will nearly not be noticeable (only a very few experts could notie the difference and only with top notch sound system. Because uncompressed audio takes nearly 9megs/min, when mp3 is at around 1meg/min in good quality.
For brightness, just use the brightness filter on all your clips, or you can render it uncompressed and apply a brightness filter and re-render it uncompressed. Now you can use virtual dub to compress it (it is better to render from uncompressed with virtual dub than directly from Vegas).
For the rest I don't really know, but I suggest not to use divx, rather use xvid and/or x.264.

Arrg Im still having Problems with File Compression. Heres the thing. With Fraps, a 17 sec avi is 128 mbs... So I use Vegas 4 and render it using DviX as a compressor. I check to see how large the file is and its 6mbs...
a 17second clip = 6mb.
Round off 17 to 20 and 6 to 5. 60sec clip is 30mbs. Now that would be a 1min clip... My movie is going to be at least 6mins long. Is there anyway to compress it anymore?
BTW. While I was typing this i just thought of 1 way. Would changing the Resolution size of the video help much? My video is set at 640 x 480. (Nevermind, I just tested this... The file came out 1mb bigger when I made the resolution of the video smaller) Does anyone have any good suggestions for a mp3 compressor thats compatible with Vegas4?

o ok, thnx. I'll get that.
EDIT:
Ummm any specific audio compressor file thats compatiable with Vegas4? I googled mp3/lame mp3/mp3 encoder but I didnt get anything useful that would work with Vegas4.

Download any version of lame on the net.
Then right-click on the inf file and choose install. Now you can specify mp3 with any parameters you want when you choose the audio compression sttings in Vegas (I have done it myself, so I know it works).

(Tried that, it worked, but when I went into V4 to use it, I got an error) Thnx alot with all the help but I think I see what the problem is. Rendering the video as an AVI with V4 has too many complications and problems associated with it. Audio compression is a hassle. Video compression is a hassle. Theres WAY TOO many useless options that they give you for AVI video and audio compression (on my computer anyways). I tried so many different options on compressing, and in the end I still come out with a large file. So I figure, instead of "AVI", I'm just going to use a different rendering format. I just tried that and already got some great results. So now I can finally go on with working on my video without having to worry about its file size when its finished.

The best is to render your movie uncompressed in Vegas, and then compress the final result in virtual dub, because Vegas is not the best for compression, and that way the rendering of all the effects has only to be done once, and when you do compression tests the oftware only compresses, and doesn't have to render the movie in addition (very useful if you do xvid 2-pass compression as an example, even if you do only 1 try).

lol So thats how you're supposed to do it. I didnt get it. I would compress using Virtual Dub first. Then try to use it in V4. That didnt work too well lol. Im going to try it my way and yours and see which one gets compressed more when I finish my movie, and again thnx for the help :D

Lol no that is not what I meant. You have to work with uncompressed clips (or compressed using lossless codecs) in Vegas. Once you are done with editing, you render everything uncompressed. that makes a big file. Now you open that big file with virtual dub and compress it.
Vegas doesn't work fine with clips compressed with certain codecs (xvid as an example). So of course if you compress in virtual dub and try to open it in Vegas afetr that, you will encounter some problems :).

Well if you want to do it this way, you can split the video clip, then slow/speed up the part you want.
Have the line at the part where you want the split, then right click on "the clip". Then Scroll down and click "Split".
But theirs another way to do it, if you want to be precise and do something like have a video clip play then have it gradually slow/speed up the clip at a certain point that you want. I could probably figure it out, but I dont have my computer with me with that program : / I think I've done this before too, the gradually slow/speed up thing, but I just cant remember how : / Maybe someone else knows.

That's the power of keyframes combined with velocity enveloppe!
With keyframes you set the value of the properties of any effect at any moment.
So you can set the speed of the clip at any moment, independantly from the rest of the clip.
To test it add velocity enveloppe to your clip, edit it and add some keyframes to see how it works. It is quite difficult to explain how it works with words (and I am too lazy to open paint and do a schema), but it ia easy to figure it out.
