Is there a way to do a "bleach bypass" in Vegas, without MB?

Generally, decrease saturation and increase contrast. Season to taste.

Re: Bleach Bypass
Like most questions in vegas there are several ways that you can do most things. I personally prefer the method of duplicating the video track and placing it directly above the other. You then set the top track to be black and white and set the overlay to either overlay or hard light, depending on taste. you can then set the opacity of that top layer giving you complete control over how contrasty the footage is.

Don't you find that drastically increases the render time? What advantage do you think it has?

It does increase the contrast, however it is a different look. I have experimented with saturation and contrast/levels, but I could'nt get the exact same look. I guess it all depends on the look that you are going for. Right now I am working on a project that on some clips has four layers of differing composits, opacities and effects, just to get the look that I want. I am also editing it as HD 720p to match with some stop motion that I shot as well. It will be projected at Hi def so I figured I would just edit the whole thing that way. It is a painfully slow rendering process, but I have found the realtime in vegas to be quite good, granted I have to do some test renders to see the final result, but I'm a patient person, and I have a second computer, so all is not lost. I come from a pretty extensive photoshop background so I like to play with "layers" and opacities to get specific looks. But in the end I feel it pays to be patient.
