  Event pan crop dialog differences

  Posted by Harry Putnam on January 2, 2011 at 11:34 pm

  Using Vegas Pro 10 on Windows 7 (64bit)

  I’m attempting to manipulate size and position of frames using the event dialog for that purpose.

  I have 4 tracks stacked and am manipulating each. Three of the event pan/crop dialogs come up looking the same but the forth is lacking some of the headings seen in the others and has one the others lack (see the appended image)

  The three each have:
  postion
  Rotation
  Keyframe interpolation
  source
  workspace

  But the 4th only has:
  position
  path
  workspace

  What have done to make that one different?

  (Somehow my image upload never produces any code to copy paste so here is a link the promised image )

  [First attempt at screen grab upload failed]
  [Second attempt at screen grab upload failed]
  I don’t see the screen grab image I attached.

  I didn’t reallize I needed to copy and paste code into the post but at any rate no code ever appears in the dialog as the directions say, although when I press upload, it completes successfully or says it does.”

  Here is my third try at getting an images into this darn thing.
  When I upload the image I’m told it has uploaded successfully but the code I am to cut and paste (according to the popped up directions) never appears.

  I posted it on line HERE

  I couldn’t explain it any better than the instructions that are already on the upload page. here are some annotations to help you:

  The problem you are having is that the window on the left is in POSITION mode while the window on the right is in MASK mode. You need to highlight the Position timeline to make the position parameters become un-grey.

  I did look at those directions better after the first try, so on the second I followed them carefully, but never saw either the image or the code appear in the left hand box. Although the upload completed successfully

  Long after, when I closed firefox, I noticed an upload dialog way back behind several other windows … and now suspect the dialog was already open and I opened a second one (or more).. a kind of happenstance that has caught me several times in similar situations and yet I didn’t check for it when the problem occurred … senility maybe.

  Thanks for the excellent diagrams (settled the crop pan dialog too).

  Much as I looked at those two dialogs, I never saw that difference
  (one being in position mode, and one in mask)

  I actually did look at the mask selection area but saw it was not checked so assumed it would not be on then.

  Yea, The check mark simply enables and disables the function. Just the act of selecting one over the other selects the proper tools down the left side and corresponding parameters.
