Keyframe Question
Hello,
I have Vegas 7 build with 5 seperate video tracks that are all keframed differently. At a certain point on the timeline I want to zoom in on all the tracks, but I’m not sure how to do this so that they ALL zoom in the same (size, position, etc.). I thought about rendering the file, but there is a window on one of the tracks that I will be putting video behind and if I render it I will lose the window. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Make one keyframe on one of the tracks set to the proper size/location. Save that as a preset. Go to the rest of the tracks one at a time, create a new keyframe, and pick that preset. Then they’ll ALL be exactly the same.

You can set your tracks to all be children of a parent motion track.

Never mind. The parent track method would make the change all at the same time and the sizes would be relative, so Edward’s suggestion would work better to make them all line up from whatever positon they are.
But here’s the question for you:
If all your tracks move to the same size and position, in the end, you would only see the one on top, right?Gary Kleiner

“if all your tracks move to the same size and position, in the end, you would only see the one on top, right?”
I will try to explain what I have. The bottom track is a photo of a computer screen, the other tracks above are photos with transparent backgrounds of things like an arrow, a check mark, a slider button and a button highlight. What happens is that the opening view is of the computer screen, then into the picture comes an arrow (representing the computer mouse) which moves to a box where a check mark shows shows up. Then the arrow moves to another box where it hilights a button which starts a slider in motion. The bottom layer (computer screen) has a window in it in which a video will start when the slider stars moving. What I’m trying to do is when the video starts in the window, I want to slowly zoom in on that part of the screen. I tried what Edward said, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. I was able to save the keyframe as a pre-set, but because the tracks don’t all start at the same place on the timeline I couldn’t get everything to stay in the correct position as the zoom in started. I’m sure I’m probably not going at this in the best manner so if anyone can help me figure this out I’d really appreciate it. It’s time I bear down and really start learning Vegas so as to use it to it’s potential!

If you want to have movement and keep everything in the same relative position, use the method I suggested using parented motion.
