Very easy in Vegas. You can do it manually using Track Motion and/or Pan-Crop, or easier yet you can do it automatically with 2 of the most famous plug-ins. Especially if you have a lot of photos to do.
Excalibur and Ultimate S (plugins) have the ability to automatically do photo slide shows and montages as well and a lot easier if you have a bunch of stills you want to animate. Plus you have all kinds of control over how the plug-in pans and zooms. I have both plug-in’s and wouldn’t be without them because they have hundreds of little scripts that I use every day. You can check them out at the links below. They’re not expensive.
Both plug-in’s will do in seconds what it normally takes hours to do! 😉
Just make sure your photos are high quality PNG (Vegas Loves PNG files) and set the sizes to 1440 x 960 to have enough room to put the motion in. Also for each photo you’ll want to right click and click ‘switches’ and set the ‘reduce-internet-flicker’ This will reduce the flickering when your video is rendered. IF I remember correctly both Excalibur and Ultimate-S will check the reduce-interlace-flicker on all of them for you also.
If your photos are coming from a digital still camera don’t use them full size. It’ll be too much for Vegas and you’ll have problems. If you use the normal 720 x 480- setings you won’t have enough room to pan the photo. Use the settings I mentioned above. Also you’ll have to tick the ‘match output ratio’ in the PC or TM box especially on vertical photos.
