  • How to scale all still and video events to fit within safe area?

    Posted by Rick Bombaci on August 5, 2011 at 3:18 pm

    Hello all,

    I’m using Vegas 9.0e and have created a show that consists mostly of high-res photos, and a few video clips. I’d rather have viewers using TVs see a black border than have my images cropped by the safe area phenomenon.

    Is there a way to scale all of my images down so that the entire image fits within the safe area?

    Thank you for your help,

    Rick

    The easiest way is to drop the entire project into a new project so that it becomes a single event. Then use Pan/Crop on that event to resize it. This is known as a “nested” project.

    Thank you, John. I’ll give that a try.
