How do you do slow motion in vegas? (and fast motion) I can't seem to find any controls for the speed of a particular clip..

If you want to create a slow-motion video effect, Vegas software provides two methods you can use:

Hold Ctrl while dragging the edge of the event to time-stretch the event.

Right-click a video event, choose Insert/Remove Envelope from the shortcut menu, and then choose Velocity from the submenu to add a velocity envelope to the event.

You might want to check some other recent posts in this thread or do a search for a more detailed explanation. The above methods are from the Help menu in Vegas. It is also a good source of info.

You can also right click on the clip go into the properties and reduce the playback rate but either of the 2 above mentioned ways is faster. I prefer the Velocity Envelope as I can set it to a precise number but any of the ways works fine.
