Importing images into vegas 6
I need to know how to move an image freely on the timeline. In other words,
once the image is imported onto the timeline, it has a black backround. I want to be able to move this image all around on the background. I had a couple of pictures that were portrait style, and I could not move them from side to side on the background. What do I do? I am trying to use images along with motion backgrounds so I need to be able to move them freely.Thanks,

Pan/crop button. Look up Pan crop in Vegas help.

Track Motion will enable you to move and resize – to keep things simple, put the pic on its own track, above the background track, click the Track Motion icon in the Track Header and watch the preview as you drag the frame around.
The use of keyframes will enable you to move pics across the frame.

I know how to use the pan/crop and have done that before. But, for some reason the portrait shots are on a black background, and I can’t move them from side to side. When I try, the picture gets more narrow instead of moving.

Donna, although there are areas where Pan/Crop and Track Motion can achieve the same thing, I generally find it simpler to use P/C for moving around within the frame and Track Motion to move the Frame around.
It sounds like you haven’t got “Lock Aspect Ratio” enabled in Pan/Crop, but have a try using Track Motion to see if it’s easier to achieve what you want.Peter Wright

Open Pan/Crop, right-click the image on the Pan/Crop screen, choose “Match Output Aspect”. Now you should be able to do what you want.

important to remember.
P/C motion keyfame length is for the length of the event.
Track motion keyfame length is for the length of the track.
as a newer user it can throw you off trying to set keyframes.It is a little easier to use track motion and it has its advantages but you must a “restore the box” key before you can add additional events after it.
or else they will be placed where the previous event was left.also T-Motion is better to make an event really small or disappear in the distance.
