Border to cropped PIP?
Vegas 14 here, I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get a border on a cropped video, everything I’ve read has not worked, if I put border before pan/crop it borders the original size of the image within track motion, so I can move it around and the border is there as the original image size wherever visible, but if I put it after it borders the size of track motion and ignores the visible image.
I just want to border the cropped image and nothing I’ve read or watched is accomplishing this, is this really that difficult? I feel like this is a very standard thing for a “facecam” and shouldn’t be hard, or that I’m missing something entirely.

Wow, bizarre, I figured out a way to do it, it involves flipping the video horizontal in pan/crop, which of course messes with the facecam’s appearance, so first I flip it horizontal in track motion and flip it back in pan/crop, the border only works after a pan/crop flip and not after a track motion flip.
Thoughts? I’m baffled, but glad it works.

[Garrett Cosgrove] “Thoughts?”
This is what I do when I utilize Crop > Border > Track Motion > 3D Spin in TM. No issues at all:
Original
Cropped
Border Added to Crop
Track Motion Added
Track Motion Zoomed Out
This is very straightforward.

Yes, that’s well and good, what I’m seeing is this, and I have to do two flips, one with crop, one with track motion, to achieve the correction, the second image is before the second flip, which is not very straightforward and I’m having trouble understanding what I’m doing wrong. The third image is simply moving border before crop, which leads to the fourth image, I can’t seem to get it to just border the actual crop, very confused.

STOP THE MADNESS! – Yah can’t do it this way. I should have really read your description more carefully – and that the first thing you wanted to do was to initially CROP that first image. It was your ScreenGrab that showed me. Yes you can Crop. And yes you can stick a Border on the Event – but not to to the Crop, in the way you/I were wanting. But KUDOS to you for finding something of a workaround. Stunning! I also tried Masking too – it was a mess . . . .
OK, getting the Job done:Either:
A] Render out that Crop and THEN stick a Border on it
Or:
B] Upgrade to VP15! VP15 has a PiP Widget within it, to do just this:
Border Setup around Crop:
PiP FX in the FX Chain:
Now that I’ve spent time on this, somebody else is going to come up with a better solution for VP14! – I’m now guessing that there is a Video Wall thingy or script to use?

I did more digging and found a couple fourteen year olds with no views had discovered my workaround as well, but then I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V65dlWE9n7w and was even more confused.
I can’t afford another Vegas, so, I guess 15 is out for me and I’ll have to stick to my workaround.

Sure, Track Motion. But you were wanting to confine to a Crop in an Event.

Sorry you lost me, I’m doing what he’s doing but I flip it in Track and then in Pan/crop for it to work.
Why does his work without the flip?
