Any advice?
Alternatively, if you have QT Pro, you can try the following:
1) Open the clip in QT Pro
2) Open the "Show Movie Properties" window
3) Select the Audio track
4) "Extract" the audio track by pressing the "Extract" button the in upper-left corner
5) Select the extracted audio track player and set in/out points equal to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc. the length of the audio track (1/2 will double the video speed, 1/3 will triple it, 1/4 quadruple, etc.)
6) Reselect the original clip player and press "Commad-A" (to select the entire clip) and "Command-C" (to copy it to memory)
7) Reselect the extracted audio track, press the "Jump to start" button to ensure playhead is at the beginning of the audio clip and then use the "Add to selection & scale" Edit menu option to add the "scaled" original clip the the new player
8) Deselect or delete the audio track(s) and save the resulting file
While these steps may seem complicated, they only take a matter of seconds to accomplish. Here is a sample "double speed" file I made from a clip that happened to be on my desktop as I wrote this:
