Can I preset the Pan/Crop to 16:9 Widescreen Aspect?

If there are things you have to apply to many events, you can use scripts to enhance your workflow.

Here is a script to use for matching aspect ratio. I don’t know who wrote it, but just try and see if it works in your version of Vegas. (If you don’t know how to apply scripts, we can explain to you).

Yes, please.

If you set your project up as 16:9 then you can just right-click on the frame in Pan / Crop and select Match Output Aspect. This will guarantee that your aspect is correct.

Hi Norman,
Download the script you would like to use (there are many free scripts on the internet, including the matchaspect script: 148_matchaspect.js.zip

Upzip the script (if nessecary) and copy it into C:/program files/Sony/Vegas x.0/Script Menu.
Open your Vegas project.
Select all the events you would like to match aspect ratio (or whatever kind of script you would like to perform).
Go to TOOLS-SCRIPTING and click on the desired script. That should do the trick on all the selected events.
In case you added the script while Vegas was already open, you will first have to go to TOOLS-SCRIPTING-RESCAN SCRIPT MENU FOLDER to make the new script available.
To place the icon for a certain script available on the toolbar (very handy if you use it often), go to OPTION-CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR (or just doubleclick on the toolbar).
The window that opens is selfexplaning.
Once you have experienced the big advances and timesavings of scripts, you might start looking for things like Excalibur, Ultimate S or Vegas Production Assistant.
