Animation of a moving object along a curved path
Hi,
I am trying to create a map animation where I want to animate a picture of a train along a curved path on a map. For this I have downloaded a map with a route marked on it. I have also masked out the picture of a train using Vegas pan and crop masking technique. I want to know how to make this train move on the curved line on the map smoothly. I have tried to position the train at various points on the route, changing its orientation and position and creating keyframes. I have tried both frame motion with pan and crop as well as track motion (2D). I am not happy with the result as the movement is jerky and not smooth. Is there any other way of achieving a smooth motion along a curved path in Vegas pro.I have another question. When I tried rendering the above clip in Vegas pro 12, after about 3%, pro freezes and nothing happens. However, I am able to render the same clip in Vegas pro 10 without any problem. This happens whether I use Sony AVCHD codec or main concept codec in VEgas pro 12. How to solve this problem in Pro12?
Thanks in advance,

For the first, look at Routegenerator.
For the second, turn off GPU accelleration.
