aligning multiple videos
Quick note: I posted essentially the same thing in the Basics forum, but got no responses. So I’m trying here..
I’m trying to re-size three videos so they can play at the same time in their own area.
The problem is, they don’t seem to re-size as I would expect.
Also, my project is set to 1200x600x128. What’s the 128 stand for?
Anyway, here is how I’m going about it. Maybe you can tell me where I’m going wrong.
the first video is 1200x600x32
I crop out a 400×300 section. I set the stretch option to “no”, and It fits perfectly in the bottom right of the screen.
Second video: 1024x768x24
This is the one I want to take up the 800×600 spot.
I use track motion and set the width to 800 and the height to 600, but this doesn’t work. It gets very tall and skinny. It’s very confusing. Is this not the way to go about resizing video?
the same thing happens with the third video, which is actually an image that I want to be static in the top right corner.
It’s dimensions are 400×300.
I would think, it being 400×300, it would drop right in the correct spot.. But it stretches and fills the entire screen. When I resize with track motion, it shrinks, but it’s still not the right size. It just a little bit bigger then the first video crop I did.
Further adding to the confusion, if I adjust the video I want to be in the 800X600 box until it looks right, the width ends up at about 1350. How is that possible when the total project size is supposed to only be 1200?

Vegas will always adjust the video to fill the frame when you import it. You will have to go into Pan/Crop for those videos that don’t match the project aspect and manually change their width to match the project width . This will display them at their true size. Then you can use Track Motion on them.
